My MacBook Pro gets incredibly hot when using CPU intensive applications. I needed to find a good cooling system to prevent the Pro go into thermal shutdown. I went on Amazon and out of impulse bought this product (without doing more research).

The price was cheap and the product came in a few days. However, it became noticeable what the major flaw was with the item (for me). The product has legs on each corner which means that you have to set the product on a flat surface such as a coffee table or desk and not on a lap. To be honest this is not a significant issue its just for me a laptop should be used on the lap in comfort, not bent over a desk.

Having said that, the product has LED's in it that light up when you plug it in via USB which looks good. The fans are quite loud when used and I found this distracting when I was watching films or the such. Word of caution I accidentally touched the blades as they were spinning around and it hurt somewhat. If you have children who use your laptop do not let them use this product.

Finally, having said all this, the product did work, it kept my laptop from reaching 92degrees to a stable 58degrees which was impressive considering the price of the product. I would recommend it, however, if you can afford to spend £10-15 more I would ask people to consider a rival brand such as Targus which do great coolers which can be used on a lap.
