I’m really impressed with this laptop cooler, the design of it is brilliant. My laptop was constantly getting hot and I was frequently getting pop-up messages to something to do with the cooler wasn’t working; but as I’m doing my final year of my degree online, I couldn’t afford to be without my laptop while it was repaired. Studying online, I probably spend more time online than I should and I know I don’t sit correctly, which does cause me neck ache. What I like most about this cooler is the fact that by using the adjustments underneath, you can tilt your laptop to any of the 5 available positions and I’m now able to use my laptop, sat on the sofa – but with the screen at eye level, instead of me spending hours with my neck bent looking down at it…..

But although that’s what I love most about this cooler, that’s probably not what most people would buy it for. The cooler is very well made; the majority of it is plastic, which keeps it lightweight, although the mesh part above the fans that your laptop sits on is metal. Everything is really nicely finished; rather than just having plain plastic, Aukey have embossed a snakeskin/honeycomb pattern into most of the plastic. At the front edge of the cooler there are little plastic flippers (like you get on pinball machines) that you can lift up to stop your laptop sliding off.  I’ve got a 15.6” laptop and it sits very comfortably on the cooler, it’s about the same width and there’s a good inch to spare at the back – as long as the majority of the laptop is on the cooler, I can’t imagine it would make any difference if you had an inch or so either side hanging over. On the right hand side of the cooler are 2 USB ports, one to connect the cooler to your laptop, using the supplied USB cable, plus a spare port than you can use for a mouse or lamp or anything you need it for. There is also a rotating switch that turns the 4 fans and LED lights on and allows you to adjust the strength/brightness. The fans are virtually silent, you can really only hear them if you’re in a silent room and the fans are on maximum, but even then it’s not loud enough to disturb you.

Since I’ve been using this I haven’t had any problems with my laptop overheating at all and I’ve definitely noticed the difference in lack of neck ache. I strongly recommend this cooler; it’s a brilliant design and is good for the health of you and your laptop.
