Laptops can also be affected by the temperature of the air that accumulates around the device: cooling pads circumvent this problem. A cooling pad uses fans to either blow cooler air against the laptop or warmer air away from the laptop to lower the ambient temperature. Laptop cooling pads improve laptop airflow by positioning the system on a hard, flat and non-fabric surface.
Some laptops use the bottom of the device as an air-intake source to cool the system which makes obstructing the airflow particularly hazardous for the system. If you're using a laptop cooling pad, you can place the laptop on a fabric surface without worrying about the device overheating. For example, a laptop that's working on a wooden table will accumulate less heat than one used on a heavy blanket. However, cooling pads that blow cooler air against the system may force more dust into the computer when used on a fabric surface.
Laptop cooling fans make using a laptop on your lap a more viable experience for both the person and the laptop. Most modern laptops are designed by company's that have spent thousands of man-hours figuring out how to deal with heat.
It is why heat vents are placed in places where are fingers don't usually travel and in places where they won't be obstructed. It is also why heat sinks and fans are designed distribute air in a particular way. By and large, adding an expensive notebook cooler to the mix does very little to aid your laptop's own cooling systems.
Most laptops these days will let you open the bottom panel without voiding the warranty. All you have to do is open said panel and clean your fans to ensure that they are dust-free.
It may seem daunting to apply but it works wonders and with guides like these , it is really easy. Basically, thermal paste helps keep your core components cool through the use of a paste that is often made from zinc oxide and silicone. All you have to do now is make sure that your laptop is, especially when on a cloth surface, somewhat elevated and you will be free from buying and lugging around heavy notebook coolers.
I then tried it without the cooler and the temperature jumped up by all of one degree to 94 degrees Celsius. I then used two rubber doorstops on either side of the machine to elevate the laptop and to my surprise, the temperature read at a marginally cooler 91 degrees Celsius meaning that for all intents and purposes, two doorstops got my laptop cooler than my fifty dollar dual-fan notebook cooler.
I tried the same test with a less demanding title like League of Legends as well as the Unigine Heaven benchmark test. Both favored the dual door stop I am thinking of getting it patented solution over the actual flashy notebook cooler. At the end of the day, my advice is this: if heat is really an issue and you don't mind the extra work, clean your fans and get good quality thermal paste. If you don't feel like opening up your machine just use anything you have in your home to elevate the machine slightly.
There are circumstances where a cooling pad is just the thing you need, and in those instances they are an affordable solution to a few irritating problems. If your laptop runs so hot that you could make a grilled cheese sandwich on it, then your laptop is in need of either repair or cleaning, if not both. The likely culprit is dust, which can clog the fan vents and choke the internal cooling hardware. You may be able to clean it out with a can of compressed air, or you may need to open up the chassis to shoo out the dust bunnies.
Also, if you actually use your laptop on your lap, or in bed, or set on pillows or blankets, then a cooling pad can help keep you a little more comfortable. In these cases, the majority of the benefit comes from a cooling pad providing space for regular ventilation, which prevents pillows or blankets from covering the fan vents built into the underside of the laptop. Comfort at your desk is another consideration. If you have a laptop that belches hot air at you like a steady stream of steam from a subway grate, you may want to blow that hot air elsewhere.
A laptop cooler can definitely help on that front. There are also some ergonomic benefits to be gained from raising up your laptop display, and cooling pads with adjustable height and angle can actually improve posture and reduce neck pain by getting your laptop screen up off the desk and closer to eye level.
At no point in our testing did we see a correlation between overall cooling or performance improvements with either price or brand name. If you need something you can use away from a desk, look at something like the Targus Lap Chill Mat AWE55US, which has neoprene padding for comfort and no riser feet that will jab you in the legs. If you want something you can take with you on the go, look for a cooler that's small and light enough to fit in your laptop bag.
If you want to get the most value for your money, consider a cooling pad with a USB hub built in. Still interested in buying a cooling pad for your laptop?
