    Duration of ownership: 2 Weeks

    Strengths: Very quiet, does its job, light weight

    Weaknesses:flimsy build

    Overall Evaluation: I bought the Vantec Lapcool3 after it was suggested to me by a friend. It does a great job cooling my widescreen laptop down. Instead of pushing the hot air through the top (by the fans, like most coolpads do), it pushes the hot air out through the back. I really like this feature because it keeps my laptop cooler by giving it better ventilation. The Vantec coolpad is the quietest coolpad I've ever owned (I've had several over the last two years). It's very light weight and that works well for me since I have my laptop on my legs a lot for work. The only downside to the coolpad is when I put my laptop down on the table, sometimes the laptop will put too much pressure on the coolpad and the fans will stop. (This isn't a huge issue, just thought it might be worth mentioning). The fans start right back up once I position my laptop better.

    Duration of ownership: 1

    Strengths: it reduces the heat in my laptopthe noise is almost unnoticableand it is small enough to fit in my bag

    Weaknesses:no USB hub, but still good for the pricemight not fit bigger laptops

    Overall Evaluation: I like this product. I just recieved it yesterday and started using it today. I ordered it because when summer is appraoching, I believe everybody can feel the difference of the temperature on the laptop. I spent a lot on my laptop, so I think it should be wise to spend a lit bit more to keep it longer.

    Duration of ownership: 3 Days

    Strengths: Quiet, Slim and Cheap

    Weaknesses:No fan speed control, no power on/off switch, occupies one usb port

    Overall Evaluation: This unit works pretty well for my dell 600m laptop with moderate heat generated. Quiet, and slim and portable. I can use the laptop on my lap without any problem. The drawbacks are it doesn't provide any controls such as fan speed control and power on/off switch. It doesn't have any pass-though connection, either, which means one usb port will be occupied without addtional usb power adapter. I'd recommend it to users who don't require powerful cooling functions and would like to carry it around.
