Home > Consumer Reviews > Xpad (Non-slip Laptop Cooler and Heatshield)

I like this cooler/heatshield much better then the one I had previously. It keeps the laptop much cooler and is easier to transport when I am traveling.

Great solution, works well. Nevertheless, the metal edges are a little bit uncomfortable on the legs.

The product does keep away the heat and helps my laptop stay cool. However, the bottom of the lap desk is badly designed and has sharp metal edges that stick out further than the pad on the bottom that can be quite uncomfortable on the legs.

I'm not sure that it helps with actually keeping my computer any cooler--but my laptop tends to sit on my thighs and this buffer between the computer and my thighs is much needed. Yes, this really is a non-slip heatshield--wouldn't say cooler, but the other statements are fair. I'm glad that I purchased the product and it is very light and compact. Good for a traveler like myself.

I bought this XPAD about a week ago and expected miracles. I use my computer a lot and it's got a lot of memory so it gets very hot, especially when I have it on my lap. This XPAD does not work like the manufacturer says it does. My computer still overheated and my lap was even hotter than without it. It seems like the material covering the bottom of the pad conducts heat to my legs. When I used the pad on my desk, my computer slipped around; I guess I could put some rubber pads on the bottom, but for $25 why should I have to do that. I am returning this item, if it seems feasible with all that shipping cost, and I have already ordered and received an Antec cooler with fans. It really works great, big enough for my 15.4 but I doubt for anything larger.
