Digital camera reviews of Cool Lift
Digital camera Review: Does the job at low cost
Summary: 5 Stars
I'd left my MacBook on a wood dining room table for weeks... usually on and often with heavy uses that kicked on the cooling fan. Knew there was some heat but didn't think it would cause thick oak to crack. This inexpensive gizmo would have prevented the damage and an upset wife the day before Thanksgiving. It is small but it holds my computer steady with ample breathing space underneath to keep both computer and table cool. It should work fine with most laptops 15" and smaller and with most larger ones on a flat table top. Light and easy to pack for travel. I actually find the angle more comfortable than having the computer flat on the table. It should work fine on any flat surface including a bed (how much heat builds up when a computer is settled into soft surfaces?). The dense foam resists slipping on a table top, but doesn't stick to the surface like some mats/pads tend to do. Wouldn't be much use on one's lap or legs (as noted in product description it isn't for that), but with reasonable attentiveness to movements, should work on even a slightly tilted lap desk. At $7 it is a great deal that does exactly what it advertises. Will probably order a couple more for family members.Digital camera Review: Does what I need it to do
Summary: 4 Stars
It's small, but my 15.6" laptop fits on it with no problem. It's made of dense foam, so it's lightweight. Does exactly what I need it to do, which is raise up my laptop so the air can flow underneath. You can only use this product if your laptop is stationary, like on a table or desk. You can't use it on your lap as it's too small and your laptop will slide around. For the price, it's totally worth it.Digital camera Review: Don't waste your money.
Summary: 1 Stars
I work with my laptop on a stationary desk and my laptop is constantly slipping off of it. The entirety of the product is smooth so the lifts don't grip the laptop and the bottom is subject to slide around on the desk.
Honestly, it turned out to be a waste of my money because every few minutes, I had to adjust the computer and reposition it on the pad. It's also pretty cheaply made. $10 turned out to be too much for it.
Before I got this product, I elevated my laptop using a sharpie and it actually worked a lot better than this.
Digital camera Review: Durable and Portable
Summary: 5 Stars
It's cheap, durable and portable. I have been using this since few months now and it helps my laptop stay cool by lifiting it few inches from the ground. Highly recommended.Digital camera Review: Effective & Great Price!
Summary: 4 Stars
Well what can i say, it's a foam piece of goodness and very lightweight.
I have a 14.1 inch laptop and it fits it perfectly and the foam grips it well. I was having overheating problems with my laptop and had 2 hard drive crashes before i finally realized it was due to overheating problems.
Before i ordered this i had to prop my laptop up on a book or something to keep the bottom ventilated because it only has one fan. The product itself doesn't have any fans on it of course, but it does a great job of keeping laptops elevated to let air pass through. I also set my BIOS settings to run the cpu fan all the time when the AC adapter is plugged in and i run the SpeedFan app to keep track of my temperatures and all is well!! **I'm giving hints and tips here people! LoL**
I don't recommend it for larger laptops because as said it is kind of small. I have a 14.1 inch screen and it doesn't even cover the whole bottom of my laptop. I only gave it 4 stars because IMO they should have included a couple of velcro strips to mount it to the bottom of the laptop, that would have been a plus! But i'm going to do that myself =-).
Definately worth the [...] bucks i paid for it though!
