Works well, as described, good value for the price. Has 4 fans (more than others) and the variable speed is an added value (though we usually just run it on high anyway). It's powered up by plugging it into the USB port of the laptop. Cord is a bit long, so you have to coil/secure it to keep it out of the way, but it's likely better to have too much cord than too little. Can be a bit awkward if you forget to pick up BOTH the laptop and the cooling pad together, but that's true of all cooler pads/laptop combos in general. Might be worthwhile to put a piece or two of velcro on both to 'tack' them together (being mindful of keeping the ventilation slots for both cooler and laptop clear, which is the whole POINT of having a cooler pad beneath the laptop!

Startech Notebook Cooler
 from NJ,  Oct 9, 2008

I am very pleased with this product! I have had no problems with it at all and you cannot even hear it running! I bought it because I was using my laptop in bed one night and fell asleep only to be awakened by a burning smell! The laptop had become so hot It apparently was ready to catch on fire along with the comforter underneath! This cooler keeps the laptop cool and what is underneath it cool!

Works Great!
 from MS,  Apr 14, 2008

This keeps my computer A LOT Cooler! I have a 17" Notebook, so the cooler is a bit smaller than my computer. However it still fits well enough to give a good centimeter between thecomputer and cooler, So it still gets good airflow. Also, its thin enough ti fit in my computer bag when I travel..

Quiet and Cool
 from New York, NY,  Apr 8, 2008

So far, so good... this unit is very quiet compared to other laptop coolers I haved used. Variable speed, not just a high or low switch is a boon giving just the right amount of air flow. However, the outer case is slightly fragile, a previous review mentioned the fan getting stuck and having to shake the fan loose is a viable criticism.

I got this for my daughter and she loves it. She has a dell D610 and it definitely helps with the heat!

cool
 from sandy, utah,  Aug 19, 2009

this is a great product. i like how it powers on and off with my laptop, and it keeps it very cool. It isn't too noisy either. It would fit a variety of laptop sizes.

Liked it
 from Cincinnati, OH,  Aug 12, 2009

If your like me a person, who needs a cooler for a notebook and didn't want to spend much... this does the job. It's very plug and play and has an on-off swith. The fan speed can be adjusted... and i don't hear it at all unless I'm in a room by myself with no sound in the room at all and even though its really quiet. I would've like to have it attach to the notebook in some way because moving it requires you to grab it by the cooler and the laptop but you get used to it. Much better alternative than overheating. I liked it as a great value.

StarTech.com USB Powered Laptop Cooler
 from North Platte, NE,  Aug 3, 2009

This is a small but mighty laptop cooler. I have an 18.4" laptop, even though the laptop cooler is smaller, all the fans are in the right place and it keeps my laptop cool. The other great thing about this laptop cooler it's very light which is good since my laptop is heavy. Also very easy to hook up.

Works GREAT!
 from Orting, WA,  Feb 3, 2009

i have a 17" Toshiba that when it gets too hot, the keypad stops responding. Since hooking up to this cooler, all problems are GONE. The top of the keyboard is cool to the touch and that's a first for this fairly new laptop. The footprint is a couple of inches smaller than my laptop, but the fans hit on all the warm areas, so who's complaining?The adjustable fan speed is nice, as well as the automatic shut off when the laptop is powered off. I bought this model because it had multiple fans and my laptop was always super hot. It was more expensive then the other models, but I have no issue because it works so well.

Keeps it cool
 from Phoenix, AZ,  Feb 23, 2008

This unit definitely solved the overheating problems I was experiencing with my laptop. Unfortunately, if you jar the unit, one of the fans starts making noise and you have to turn it off and back on to make it go away. Overall, I have been pleased.
