Product Description:
The Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand prevents your laptop from overheating. The unique patented wave design uses natural convection to enhance fan cooling. This stand has low power consumption via your laptop's USB port with no bulky power adapters.
Amazon.com Product Description:
If you own a laptop, you know all about heat. Because today's notebooks rely on fast processors to do the job, they generate a lot of heat, with much of it landing directly in your lap. Some laptops can have a "normal" operating temperature as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit! Not only is that unsafe and uncomfortable, it can also wear your laptop down, cause it to crash unexpectedly, and reduce its overall life expectancy.
 The Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand is designed to cradle your laptop in cooling comfort. |
 Now you can be more comfortable while you work. |
 A single high-capacity fan, which is powered by a USB port on your laptop, sits in the middle of the cooling stand. View larger. |
 Hot air is channeled out to the left and right sides of your laptop. View larger. |
 The USB cable is neatly tucked away in a storage compartment on the bottom. View larger. |
Twice the Cooling Power, Half the Consumption
In contrast to most other laptop coolers that use two fans to suck warm air from the laptop's bottom, the Belkin's Laptop Cooling Stand relies on the natural flow of heat and air circulation to do the hard work and needs only one fan to do the trick. Instead of drawing the laptop heat down to push it out, the stand takes full advantage of natural air flow and heat's natural tendency to rise by pushing the hot air upward through the channel and away from your laptop.
The single high-capacity fan, powered by a USB port on your laptop, sits in the middle of the cooling stand, and hot air is channeled out to the left and right sides of your laptop. The result is heat dissipation that's equal to a two-fan solution but that uses less than half the power. And because the fan is USB-powered, you won't have any bulky batteries or adapters (which can also both add heat!) to weigh you down. You simply place your laptop on the stand, pull the USB cable out of the convenient storage compartment, and plug it into your computer. The stand will take care of the rest.
Computing in Comfort and Style
Measuring 12.6 x 11.6 x 1 inches (W x D x H), the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand is designed for 15.4-inch or smaller laptops. To prevent slippage, the stand features rubber pads on the feet, and a small plastic panel folds out from the bottom of the stand that elevates the rear for better ergonomics. The gentle slope reduces wrist strain, and by raising the screen height, it also reduces neck strain that is common to laptop users.
Unlike the industrial gray and metallic appearance of other cooling stands, the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand offers an attractive, gently sloped look that you'll be proud to show off as you work. The stand's thin profile means that you can easily slide the stand into your notebook bag as you travel from meeting to meeting, or café to café. And weighing a mere 22 ounces, you'll hardly notice that it's in your bag.

- I'm finally done looking for a laptop stand...I've been through four or five different stands over the past year or so. I spend a lot of time working from home in the IT field, and many late nights reclining on the couch while I remote into networks. Every other one I got had airflow from top to bottom. Did me no good because my Thinkpad pulls air in from the bottom to flow through the unit and out the sides. So having fans try to pull air DOWN actually would worsen my thermal situation.
All of them had fan units that couldn't ... Read More

- Cheap -- works but keeps falling apart and buzzesThis cooling stand does its job but it is poorly constructed and badly designed. I use it only in an office so it has not been mis-treated. Its power socket has come loose twice (the second time I epoxied it in) and the fan assembly began to buzz loudly on start-up about a month after I bought it. Cleaning the fan, blowing it all out, has not fixed it. A sharp rap on the table (lifting assembly up and rapping it down) causes it to work quietly the rest of the day. At $20, it offers my hot laptop ... Read More

- Mixed FeelingsA bit noisy then I would have expected. Also, it does not fit my laptop too well. Check well with the dimentions before getting it.

- Great fit for a 15" Macbook ProPicked up one of these at Costco today for a bargain, and will be using it to replace a non-fan folding targus unit I have been using for years. Macbook Pros get really hot around the back of the case, and I have heard that this can dramatically reduce battery life.
The fan is obviously noisier than with no fan, but I would call it somewhat quieter than a typical laptop fan on "full cycle" but noisier than a laptop internal fan when in idle mode. (e.g. somewhere in the normal range of ... Read More

- Good Product that WorksThis review is for using Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand with a 15" MacBook Pro. Results on other machine may vary. I have used this daily for about a month now.
I give this product 4 stars... It works well as long as it's not in a hot environment (nothing short of a mini air conditioner would work then). It effectively cools my MacBook Pro. I run XGR (X Resource Graph) to monitor the temperature across the 6 sensors in the MacBook Pro and I easily achieve at least a 10ºF drop in temperature ... Read More
