Cooler Master Widescreen Laptop Cooler

1. Posted: Aug 18 2008

   I bought this from Amazon a few months ago, hoping to lower my temp. When I got the product, i hooked it all up, and was very disappointed with the results. First off, I have a Dell XPS m1530, so all the ports in the front of the computer (headset jack x2, mic input) were covered by the front lip of the cooling devise. In addition, my laptop temperature only dropped about 3 degrees C using this. Would not recommend, I'm moving to one of those special crystal cooling pads that doesn't use power to operate.

   I have had this cooler for a couple of months and this is the best cooler I've found for my laptop. I have a large 17" widescreen Toshiba Satellite X205-SLi6 and it has rubber feet on the bottom that make it difficult to find a cooler. Although this cooler isn't perfect (the feet hang off the back- but securely- and the front feet keep the laptop level on the cooler)this is by far the best cooler I've tried for this machine. The computer sits on the cooler securely and although the base of the cooler itself is at an angle, the computer sits level.

   This laptop cooler does a good job overall. It is wide enough and provides a stable platform. The fans are virtually silent due to the low rpm's. However, this is also the cooler's biggest shortcoming. The fans just don't provide much airflow. This product would be much better if it had multiple speeds. It does provide decent cooling, and for most people will be enough to provide the relief they are looking for. Another caveat, if you are planning to move this cooler around much, it is quite heavy and most people will find it cumbersome. The cooler is well-built and works as advertized. It just falls short of being a great product.
