Digital camera reviews of Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler
Digital camera Review: A bit big for MacBook Pros
Summary: 3 Stars
The Antac Notebook cooler does what it says. I found it a bit too big for my MacBook Pro, but after turning the cooler and a bit of adaptations, it works well in cooling my Laptop.Digital camera Review: A cool addition for your notebook
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought a couple of these for use with my MacBook Pro at home and at the office.
Two fans under the perforated aluminum top draw air through the holes and out a vent on one side of the unit.
PROs:
* Helps keep good cooling airflow under notebook
* 4 snap-in corner standoffs keep notebook elevated
* Two fan speed settings
* Integrated storage compartment for USB power cord
* Large non-slip rubber pad feet
CONs:
* USB power cord only
* Can't reverse directions of fans' airflow (which would be better for the MacBook Pro)
Digital camera Review: A couple more cons
Summary: 3 Stars
The USB cable does not remain flush in the port. I have a Macbook and I find myself having to keep something on the cable to keep the cable positioned in such a way that the unit remains on. The second con is the the little rubber nubs that keep your laptop at a distance so that it can be cooled come out very easily and can be lost. I now have to contact the manufacturer about extra parts. This would be a fine product if manufacturer could improve on the minor flaws it has.Digital camera Review: A few issues
Summary: 2 Stars
This cooler only has one small fan under all those holes. I was under the impression that it had more than that. Other reviewers were right when they said it creates a sort of suction effect. If you do not have something in between the cooler and your laptop to prop it up there is zero airflow which renders it useless. It has minimal power no matter what setting you use. The silver color finish started rubbing of within days. I've had this product for a year and it barely cools my laptop. I'm ready to toss it. It started having issues within the first two months. The only good feature is that the cord has a USB port so that you don't waste your valuable ports, HOWEVER it is so wide that it ends up blocking my second port anyway.
There are definitely better products out there, keep looking.
Digital camera Review: A good product..a good buy.
Summary: 5 Stars
Pretty utilitarian but I have no complaints. Does what it is supposed to do: cool your note/netbooks efficiently. Buy it.
