This stand is extremely sturdy, I had to set it to the position I wanted before placing the laptop on it, because the "hinges" are built to stay in position. It's nice and quiet, and the laptop stays cool. You lose about 3/4" behind it due to the USB-A plug to power the fan and hub sticking straight out, a 90deg connector/adapter would help that.

I bought this to replace my second laptop cooling pad that was plastic, and had broken. I wanted something sturdy that would not crack or break, as I do use my laptop and cooling pad on my lap. This is very comfortable, with a flat surface so it sits on my lap nicely. The arms to raise it are easy to adjust, and very sturdy, I have left it at this height since I got it and it doesn't waver at all. The only thing to watch out for is that the fan is only in the center, so if your laptop is running really hot and it vents on the sides of the bottom, its not going to get any airflow there. Otherwise, this was exactly what I was looking for and its well worth the price if it lasts twice as long as my previous plastic ones. Read more

This is a great cooling pads on a sturdy aluminum platform. The aluminum will help dissipate heat, but they have silicone pads which prevents the aluminum from making direct contact. You can remove the pads, but I choose not to. The aluminum won't rust which is a major purchasing consideration in the salt water environment I live in. The platform holds my 15.4" gaming laptop very stable even while fully raised which is a nice feature. I don't know why all fans have to have lights nowadays. There should be an option to turn the light off like on a few other cooling pads. Hopefully, that option will become more prevalent. This unit also features a full, USB 3, 4 port hub which is great addition that other cooling pads lack. Unfortunately, the hub is in the rear of the pad while most laptops have their USB ports on the side. It would make more sense to be able to use a short USB cable from side to side minimizing the length of cable needed, but not a big issue. The rear mount is a bigger issue for me because I mount my laptop in a tight space and I don't have easy access to the back. It would be a huge advantage to have the USB ports on the side. I don't notice the fan noise so that's not an issue. The price is a significantly more than baseline plastic units, but justifiable in this case base on the quality of this unit. I highly recommend, but I subtracted a star for the lack of a light switch and the USB ports being in the back. Read more

First of all when it arrived and I opened the box I thought there is no way mu HP Envy 17" laptop will be safe on this, it's too small. Then I set it up and to my surprise it sat on the platform and because of the rubber pads it stayed in place and was just fine. The small USB-to-USB cable everyone complained about was perfect and extra strong, they even through in a USB C -to-USB A 3.0 Converter. I was concerned about the 3.0 USB Hub, since in the picture, it shows a White USB 2.0 input. Everyone knows (or they should) you can't have 3.0 output if your input is 2.0. To my surprise it is in fact 3.0! The fan is a little louder than some other products but cools very well. You can't control the fan speed and the blue light is on when the fan is on but over all this is a very good product in a sea of junk coolers out there. I would like to see the top plate bigger and more granular controls but, You can't do any better than this for the money. I could also see something like this with a switch instead of a Hub for specialized situations like a camera station, maybe you guy's can work on something like that for the future. UPDATE!!! I bought a second one I liked it so much. Read more

Just received and started using this stand and it appears well made and solidly constructed. Its holding my 17" laptop firmly and seems to keep the position I set for it. It does take some effort to adjust the position but that's a good thing if you want it to maintain it's position. I like that you can set the monitor height to eye level to reduce neck strain. The fan is audible but not unbearable and not as loud as my PC's fans when under heavy CPU load. If you do want to quiet it there's an on/off switch but sadly no speed adjustment for it. Some may like the blue LED accent light, I can take it or leave it but it's not unpleasant. The four slot built in USB hub is a nice convenience to plug my computer light and printer into. The biggest test will be time and how the fan holds up over that time. Read more
