 Does the trick! June 12, 2009

My computer would get so hot while I watching movies or television shows on my computer that it would literally burn my leg. I didn't even want to think about what it was doing to my computer! I'd been looking around for laptop coolers for some time, but the reviews on most were not exactly promising. For a while I almost bought the Belkin cooling pad, but there were several complaints about the location of the fan making it prone to being blocked (which is the problem I have with my computer's fan already!). Then I came across the Logitech N100 cooling pad, and based on the positive reviews and rear air intake designed, I finally decided on this one, and man am I glad!
The first thing I noticed about the pad was how light it was. You won't believe it until you lift it yourself. It weighs next to nothing. It looks nice, too, and will complement any computer. It's plenty big enough to fit my 15.4 inch widescreen computer, and would probably easily fit a computer a couple inches wider. My computer didn't slide on the surface, and it's easy to move the computer while on the pad. They both lift easily together. The curved design leaves a nice area for air to come in under the laptop (one of the main reasons my computer got so hot while on my lap was because there was no space for air to get to the bottom) and it leaves a way for heat to escape. The genius part, however, is the rear air intake. It draws air in from the back, not from underneath the cooler. This is especially effective when I'm laying in bed. I can set the cooler on my plush comforter and air can still get in!
Immediately, I was pleased with the USB cable. There's a place on the bottom of the cooling pad where you can sort of thread the cord through so that it stays tight and isn't all over the place and in the way. So I threaded it through in the direction I wanted it and plugged it in. Then I waited...And waited...And waited. Nothing. Or so I thought. It was so quiet that I thought it wasn't working, and I had to lift my computer to check to see if the fan was moving! It was.
Now, some people have made a comment about the power of the fan, and I will agree with them that it is fairly low-powered. However, that's not really a problem. Because of the design of the cooling pad, only minimal air is needed. My computer fan has not kicked on since I've had the cooling pad. At the most, my computer will get slightly warm, but even then it's nothing compared to the burns I used to get from it. And it's probably a bit unreasonable to think that a machine doing as much processing as the standard laptop does is never going to get the least bit warm.
Overall, I'm immensely pleased with my purchase. It was worth the wait and the price to end up with a light, aesthetically appealing, nearly silent, and highly effective cooler. If you're looking around and haven't made up your mind yet, I'd recommend you give this one more than just a passing glance.
The Perfect Laptop Cooler. July 10, 2009

I have bought over 30 products on amazon and not once have I felt I had to write a review though all my transaction have been pretty good. I was a tad bit worried about the power of the fan speed from people's reviews on here but I also saw how a lot people loved it and it seemed to be the best one I could find overall.
I was hoping for comfort, sleek design, durability, and most importantly very efficient cooling. I have to say it has met all of my hopes and exceeded them. This cooling pad has a very comfortable design I hated setting my laptop on my lap though I feel that is where a laptop belongs. I have a hp laptop and I like playing games on it and everyone who has an hp can get pretty hot when you doing something intensive. Even on a table the thing gets hot when gaming you can forget about keeping it on your lap for long. The n100 fits in my lap perfectly its not to small and not big. Its actually smaller than I thought but has a great width size. The n100 keep my lap at a nice temperature the only warmth you will feel the normal feeling of have something in your lap. Its also a great looking piece of equipment but I don't have to tell you that.
Now to keeping your laptop cool. The n100 has only one fan setting and it very lite on battery usage. Also its amazingly silently u wont know its on from sound. That's what worried me but let me reassure it is the most efficient laptop pad I've have ever seen. The fan by itself doesn't seem extremely powerful but it extremely effective with how the pad is built. The airflow on this pad is nothing short of amazing. You can tell logitech did their research while most pad try to get u to believe the more fans the more effective it will be. I guess you would need more fans if u didn't set it up for the air to flow perfectly as the n100. My hp laptop which got very hot when playing games now barely even gets slightly warm at all. The airflow from the fan and the design of the pad keeps air flowing all over over my notebook.
When you combine comfort, sleek design, completely silent fan, extremely efficient cooling and airflow you have the perfect cooling pad. Thanks logitech for such well designed product.

I've used a few different lap desks before and most of them have a cloth pad underneath for your legs. The problem with this is the cloth still gets warm from the computer sometimes and it's still not much more comfortable than putting the computer directly on your lap. Most of the pads that I've used like seem cheaply made and don't cost all that much less to buy than the Logitech N100. I'm really happy with it- Its fan cools not only the bottom of the computer, but also your legs which was the main selling point for me in the first place. The design is comfortable on your lap and also works well if you want to place it on a table or desk. My only gripe with the product is that while the USB that comes out from underneath the pad(to power it) can easily plug into either side or the back of your computer(depending on how your computer is set up), it isn't very easy to put away. You have to try and push it back into a slot at the bottom and it always seems to pop back out on me. Other than the cable, though, the pad seems well made and pretty inexpensive. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to keep their computer cool at their desk or away.

I own the LapCool4 which I am very pleased with, and also now have the Logitech N100 to be able to write this review. My neighbor has the Antec, so I have some hands on with that one as well. I downloaded and installed the Everest (brand name) premium application with its 30 day free trial, and that gives me a software based reading of CPU temperature, as well as core temps on the CPU's. I have a dual core chip so it provides readings on each core.
The Logitech N100 has a single fan that produces excellent results. It not only draws air from the underneath area, it also draws air from the rear vent as well. This is a big advantage if you are resting your laptop on a cushion or ottoman while sitting in your easy chair. Other models are only drawing their air from underneath.
Wind direction: The Logitech N100 blows air up toward the laptop. The Vantec LapCool4 blows it up toward the laptop as well. That works great with my HP laptop which draws its air from underneath. So all of the air is flowing in one direction. The Antec does the opposite. It draws air away from underneath of the laptop. In addition it is a flat design, allowing very little air to travel between the cooler and the laptop. So it traps the air more. I went over to my neighbor's house, and saw his Antec. It does do a good job of cooling his older hotter laptop. I can only conclude that even though it draws air in the opposite direction that his laptop fans cool, it does a sufficient job of cooling, so much so, that his laptop fans never kick on. If they do, they would be drawing air from the same space. It would be like 2 people trying to draw through opposite ends of the same straw. Nevertheless, other than in principle, it works great.
The Logitech N100 Notebook cooling pad has the best configuration if you are planning on using it sitting on your lap part of the time. The reason is that the venting is sitting in the middle from underneath, as well as from the back, and it is streamlined, meaning that there are no projecting flip out feet, like a keyboard has, and also the Vantec LapCool 4 LPC-420 Foldable Notebook Cooler with 4-Port Hub (Black) has. In addition the other top contender, the Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler with its 4 rubber feet/arms is not built to be a lap warmer either.
Something worth mentioning is that the LapCool4 comes with 4 powered USB 2.0 ports on the back of it. They include an AC adapter to drive the built in USB hub, but so far with only one or two USB devices plugged into it; I have not had to use the adapter. Since I am using my laptops AC adapter I am assuming it draws sufficient power already.
So onto the numbers: Using Everest my results were as follows; I compared the HP laptop sitting on a glass top table without any cooling, to using the Logitech N100 vs. the Vantec LapCool4. In all three conditions, the numbers would fluctuate within a range. Intermittently with use, the numbers would spike quickly to a number well outside of the range, but almost instantly return to the range numbers. The normal range stated is with running programs, and or surfing the web, warming it up so to speak. Here are the numbers;
HP Laptop G50-133US with 2.16 dual core mobile processor on glass top without any cooler.
CPU 54 to 58 degrees (Measurements in "C" Centigrade)
CPU#1/Core1 42 degrees C
CPU#1/Core2 43 degrees C
Logitech N100
CPU 50 to 51 degrees C
CPU#1/Core#1 42 degrees C
CPU#1/Core#2 43 degrees C
Vantec LapCool4
CPU 49 to 51 degrees
CPU#1/Core#1 42 degrees C
CPU#1/Core#2 43 degrees C
I love the option of using the Logitech on my lap, and with its sleek design, it's a keeper. For the price difference you could buy the Logitech, and if you needed more USB ports, you could pick up the Belkin USB 2.0 4-Port Ultra Mini Hub F5U407 which is less than 10 bucks, and is so small that it may easily fit into your laptop case. Although, for portability, fitting it into your case, both are slim, but the Logitech N100 is 1.9 inches high, and the Vantec LapCool4 even with the built in USB is only .9 inches high because it collapses down for portability or storage.
So I cannot say yey this or boo that. They both have great cooling. If you are looking for a great desktop, and lap capable cooler, and don't care about USB expansion, save the money and get the Logitech. If the space in your laptop case is cramped and the extra money for USB capabilities doesn't bother you, get the LapCool4. If you want all of the options available to you, then get both". I wish I could point my finger to just one, but in this case, it's a win-win.

I've used other products for my laptops; but this one by Logitech is by far superior to the others! It's quiet; the design is very comfortable on my lap. The USB can be held in place on the bottom in more than one position. Doesn't require a lot of battery power. I'm very impressed with this new laptop cooler!!!
