Aluratek - Slim USB Laptop Cooling Pad - Black

I just picked this up yesterday but so far, so good. Only a small amount of noise from the fans, it's pretty quiet. I can't compare it to other cooling pads as this is the first one I've ever bought but I would imagine it's definitely one of the quieter ones. I was worried that my small Chromebook (HP 11.6") wouldn't sit over both fans but it does perfectly. I use my Chromebook mostly for Zoom and routine tasks/browsing/streaming and it does heat up quite a bit when doing a long Zoom meeting or using it in general for an extended period of time. I can assure you that this cooling pad definitely works, heat has been reduced drastically. I did a test with charging the Chromebook, a couple apps open and streaming a movie with screen at max brightness for 35 mins and I would say the heat was less than half of what it would be when not on the cooling pad. Which is to say that it's keeping it cooled well. I do use this sitting on a table so can't give any info on how well it works sitting on your lap, although as I'm writing this review I'm trying it out on my lap and it appears to be working just fine, I can feel the airflow still and it's keeping my Chromebook nice & cool. Blue lights may be too much for those using at night in the dark but I haven't used it that way so far. Is nice that the USB plug has an open USB port on it so you don't lose access to that port. I also like that it is angled as well making typing easy. Overall, pretty slick little cooling pad for 20 bucks. I highly recommend.

I'm not a gamer, but I have my laptop on quite a bit. This is PERFECT. It is slightly angled, I never hear the fans running, and it connects to the USB port on my laptop. Pull the USB plug and the fans turn off. Excellent product for the price. 14"W X 11'L. Very sturdy. I put my Aunt's 17" laptop on it without any issues.

For the price, this is a good deal. I didn't need anything fancy so this fit the bill. It is nice that it's slanted a bit it helps with typing but that is also the CON for this product because it is slanted laptop slides down and I constantly find myself pushing it up.

I was worried about the noise level of the fan, but it is super quiet and I have to lift my laptop up to see that the fans are spinning! Very pleased!

For under $20, you really can't beat this deal. Just make sure you try it out asap. I had to exchange the 1st one I received because one of the fans was positioned incorrectly and would hit/rub something when it was spinning. The sound was pretty annoying and I'm sure it was bad for all components involved. Fair warning, it's not whisper quiet. It's not too loud either, but you'll definitely hear the motor and/or the fans spinning. Again, for $20 it does the job and its got a 1 year warranty. It's going to come down to whether it's not quiet enough for your personal preference or needs. Just try it and return if its too loud.
