I have a well spec’ed 17.4 laptop and this mat lets me use my laptop in bed,on the sofa,in my lap etc.
Because my laptop is 17.4 and not 17, it slightly protrudes to the left and right sides,but it is still comfortable to carry around while still on the stand.
I’ve never had a reason to turn on the 2 fans, because I did not buy the stand for an overheating laptop,but for one that does not like soft surfaces as its intake fan is on the bottom. But if you decide to turn them on, its as easy as plugging an USB cable and the noise is not loud. Also the fans blow the air up, meaning they provide the laptop with fresh cool air, rather than sucking out the hot air and torturing the bottom placed laptop fans.
I also like the soft neoprene bottom of the mat and it feels very comfortable when you place it on your lap.
The top is covered in holes plastic with 4 rubber “feet” , stopping the laptop from sliding. The top flexes a little when you press it, but the mat seems resistant to damage from that. Also this way it takes less space in your baggage when you travel with it
Overall, this is an awesome mat with a soft comfy bottom covering and two up-blowing fans for the folks with overheating laptops.
Rating: 5 / 5
As the title says it is the best cooling mat that ive come across.
Plus:
It has 2 Fans that keep your laptop cool (they are placed in the right postition)
Very comfortable on your lap over a period of time (Some kind of foam backing)
Minus:
It states that its for a 17″ laptop but i’m using a 15.6″ laptop and it fits perfect so any larger would overhang.
Design 9/10
Efficiency 10/10
Price 9/10
Comfort 9/10
If You Have A 15.6″ Laptop Its Ideal!!
