    I just purchased this laptop cooler and plan on doing a review in the future but the only reason I bought it is because my mother has it and it hasn't crapped out on her like my past 2 coolers have. (Belkin and Targus cheep things from Best Buy). I was just wondering if anybody else has tried this cooler and if it is good? :)

    So far it's the first cooler I have had where my 16" laptop doesn't hang over the edge a LOT. I've got about an inch on each side between the end of my laptop and the end of the cooler.

    That almost looks like a generic Belkin cooler. Had one similar to that, if the picture is right. Kept the machine mildly cooler, but didn't knock my socks off.

    I had the belkin cooler and within a couple months the fan died on me. :( This ones a lot more solid than that one with a stronger fan. Lets see how it holds up. :)
