I recently bought a HP 15.6 inch Envy gaming laptop with an i7 for a good price, but had read mixed reviews about the HP envy series overheating. So I wanted to get a really good laptop cooling pad to extend my laptop’s life (I have a Cooler Master Notepal LapAir, but that’s more designed for regular laptops).
When I use my laptop while running a high-end game, my laptop’s internal fan will start churning like crazy (that’s how you know the processor’s working hard and putting out serious heat). If I run a high-end game with this cooling pad, the bottom as a whole will feel a lot cooler. Granted, it still feels slightly warm at a small portion of the top-left edge of my laptop (that’s where the processor’s probably located), and the side vents on the top-left will still feel quite warm/hot while gaming, but that’s kind of understandable, and not the fault of the cooling pad itself. So overall, while I might also need to buy one of those side extracting air coolers on Amazon to help cool my laptop down further, it’s a great cooling pad and I’m satisfied with my purchase, 4.5/5.
Here are the reasons I like this cooling pad:
+5/5 overall user rating with over 100 reviews/ratings (at the time I bought it); seems a lot of people are satisfied with this product
+VERY quiet; you can barely hear the fans at all; definitely more quiet than the cooling pad I used to own
+3 fans, which each put out a good amount of air
+very portable, small and lightweight if you want to take your laptop and cooling pad around with you; I was initially concerned because the pad was advertised for 17 inch laptops and that it would be a humongous overkill for my 15.6 laptop, taking up a lot of space on my small desk; it’s not; horizontally, it’s about the same length as my laptop; fits perfectly, and yet doesn’t take up too much space when traveling around
+the mesh which covers the entire top of the cooling pad is made of metal. More of the pad being made of metal = longer lasting than plastic (I think?), and better heat dissipation
+2 adjustable legs on the front for those who like to prop up their laptops a bit rather than lay it completely flat
+comes with 2 usb ports on the cooling pad and a usb extension cord, so even though you’ll have to use one of your usb ports on your laptop to plug into the cooling pad, they give you another one to plug your usb stuff into
+1 year warranty
+HAVIT claims to be one of the top 3 amazon.com sellers in laptop coolers; if this is true, they know what they’re doing
Some things that I think would’ve been nice:
-movable fans; the vents on my laptop are closer to the bottom, but my laptop processor seems closer located to the top-left area of my laptop (top-right if you are looking directly at the bottom of the laptop); giving the 3 fans the ability to adjust with how high up and down you want them to be would be nice; it’s not a major turn-off; you can always flip the cooler around 180 degrees, or move the laptop a bit around so the fans cover the desired area, but it would be a definite plus
-ability to turn leds on and off; the light itself isn’t unpleasant on the eyes; it’s a cool blue color, but it definitely would be more useful, especially if you’re using your laptop in a public place and don’t want to distract others with a light show
-more usb ports couldn’t hurt; maybe 2 more, with both in front, not just for the additional usb ports, but so that if people wanted to, they could flip the cooling pad around
