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. | Belkin's Laptop Cooling Stand relies on a patented wave design and ergonomic features that will not only help protect your laptop by keeping it cool, but will also increase your comfort while you work. As part of Belkin's laptop@home line of accessories, the Laptop Cooling Stand is designed to help you to take full advantage of the benefits your laptop has to offer-- comfortably, economically, and stylistically. 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 cafe to cafe. And weighing a mere 22 ounces, you'll hardly notice that it's in your bag.

 Breathed new life into my old laptop January 7, 2009
p-51 (CO United States)
My 4-year-old Inspiron laptop had been starting to show its age in mysterious ways. I would fire it up and it would run like a champ for about 20 minutes. After that, suddenly and abruptly, it would slow down dramatically - by at least 75%. For example, when you opened a new window, you could literally watch it get slowly drawn on the screen.
This puzzled me, as the hard drive wasn't being constantly hit, nor were there any runaway processes gobbling all my CPU cycles. I was becoming increasingly frustrated at working with such a slow machine, and was considering replacing it with an expensive new model. But I began to notice that the laptop fan was constantly running at its highest speed, and I started to wonder if it was just too hot.
Of course, unlike a tower, you can't simply pop the case open and install a bigger fan, or a larger heat sink on the CPU. So I gave this laptop cooling stand a try, and what a difference it has made.
During my first outing with the computer up on the stand, the CPU ran at full speed for well over 4 hours. Didn't slow down once. Even the laptop's built-in fan ran much slower than usual.
It's a nicely designed piece of equipment, and fits my laptop quite well. The white color doesn't really go with my gray computer, but since it was half the price of the black one, I honestly couldn't care less. The fan is much quieter than my laptop's fan and keeps a constant stream of cool air running under the chassis.
Anytime I can spend less than twenty dollars and revitalize a machine that cost over a thousand, that's a major plus in my book.
Just what I needed January 6, 2009

It does exactly what you need. Kept my HP laptop, and my MacBookPro cool. The Mac ended up warming up a little bit after a full day use even with the fan, but in comparison to the heat it outputs with out the cooling stand it was nothing.
You can hear the fan running, but it's still pretty quiet and wouldn't bother anyone. The fan is strong and steady if anything will bother a person near by is the occasional breeze, seriously.
I hate batteries so the USB power cord is great. Note that if your not tethered to a power outlet, and your battery doesn't hold a GREAT charge already. The fan will drain your laptop quicker than you'd like. In which case your better off dealing with the heat. The Cooling pad is best used for 2 hours or more, when connected to a power outlet.
I like the lightweight and compactness of it, but do wish it was a bit more sturdy. It's entirely plastic so pressure directly in the center of your laptop from your wrist, or sitting the cooling stand on one leg for example will cause the fan to rub against the sides of the cooling stand. Although it posing no damage to the computer and little I'd imagine to the stand, the sound is jarring none the less.
One last request would be some sort of elevation options. The laptop sits at only a slight incline, doing nothing for your visibility. But if you sit high enough it's very comfy on your wrist. This is offset to be by the continued discomfort you find in your neck.
I use it daily, and for the price it can't be beat. Does exactly what you want, COOL your laptop.
 Very nice January 6, 2009

this is great for my laptop, it keeps it cool all the time I am very happy with this purchase, the only thing i don't like is that the stand on the back keep falling down when you try to put it up, other then that its a great product.
