    Ok... first which one is a better cooling pad?

    I have a Dv3 Hp.... 13.3 which runs at 54C doing nothing and 70s while playing some games and other stuff.


    I have a laptop cooling pad my little brother was using, however it sucks air from under the laptop which defeats the purpose since the HP sucks it form the bottom too.


    NOW!!!

    Do both these laptop blow air FROM the bottom of the pad TO THE TOP? aka if my laptop is suckiin in air from the bottom will these pads push more air in?

    The coolermaster picture on the webiste shows how heat is tranfered away form the pad so it makes it a little confusing.


    Also is there a difference between the 2 that justifies the price difference?

    If the Cryo S is anything like the Cryo NXZT then it will blow air upwards into the bottom of your laptop. It certainly looks like a 2 fan version of the NXZT. Can't tell you anything about the coolermaster one. I recommend the Cryo. It really is great and you can always get a cheap 12V universal power supply for it to feed it the full 12V it can take instead of the 5V the usb slot gives it.

    it also seems that the CM U2 has 2 smaller fans...


    I want to get it for my 13.3 laptop so idk if its too big... aka if my laptop will look redic on it lol.


    Still trying to decide, kinda leaning towards the NZXT but the price of the CM U2 is so nice.

    The 2 fan Cryo will be fine then. The NXZT 3 fan will look a little too big as it can house 17" laptops comfortably.
