it is not a fan and it was to small to support my laptop, very flimsy. would reconmend a lap table item rather then this piece of plastic

it does not come with a fan and yes you can use it on your lap but i highly recommend wearing long pants or using a folded blanket

It's not a fan, it's a stand, and no, it's not really strong enough to use in your lap. I have trouble with it collapsing every once in a while. As long as it stays in one spot, it's good. For the price, it's okay.

It is ok, but to keep it on your lap, you would require the laptop stand to be placed on some soft material. Since its base edges are sharp, it's not comfortable to keep it directly on lap.

The fan is fairly powerful, I would think in a bathroom it would be quite sufficient.I used it continuously for a little over a year, then it died, out of warranty however.

She's a blower but it's almost as if there's a layer of moving air between it and the laptop. Stays quite cool though, only gets warm under heavy load but even then the heat is acceptable. The one drawback which doesn't affect me is that it doesn't seem like it would be very suitable to sit in your lap, otherwise it's excellent. I'm quite pleased with mine.

It's actually a pretty powerful fan. It wil cool down an overheating computer (or person:-).

They designed this fan so that you can optimize the individual fan orientation to your liking. Although it can be somewhat limited you are able to freely adjust the fans' placement to your liking. If I were you I would change the fan position to cool that are of your laptop more effectively but ultimately it's up to you what you do with it.

I have no trouble w/using it on my lap. I don't bother w/other hard surfaces when I use my laptop and the cooling board. I wonder if others know that using it on your lap is oriented one way, while using it on hard surface, it should be oriented the other. This prevents the prop from getting in your way or digging into treasured body parts. I think it's very high quality and well designed.

I just received this item today and I've been running it all day for the last 6 hours. As to how far in temperature does it drop, I don't know. I do know that the bottom of the lap top is not hot yet. In fact, it isn't even warm. Before I bought this, I was running an Antec fan with my laptop, which also kept the pc from running hot. So, as far as a cooling fan goes, I'd say this Logitech lapdesk is as comparable, if not better than just a cooling fan. The great sound from the speakers and it being a lapdesk are great additions, if you're looking for those niceities. As I said, I already had a good working cooling fan for my laptop, which was considerably cheaper than this lap desk is. I bought this for the speakers so I can watch movies, etc. The cooling fan is a plus for me, as is the lap desk. I don't have to worry about a hot pc on my lap anymore, not being able to hear movies and don't have to use a book to set my laptop on. If you're looking for an all in one unit with cooling a priority, I see no reason not to purchase this item. Of course, the price is a high right now. I paid $59.99 last week at Amazon and this week it has jumped nearly 20 bucks. Check around, or set an Amazon alert to see when the price goes down. Best Buy also had it on sale last week for $59.99, so I'm sure sale prices will come and go. Of course, if you just want a stand alone cooling fan, those are much cheaper. I paid around $29.99 for mine from Amazon. Hope this helps you out.

Yes but it will be smaller than your computer but it will cool it off. It has endurance to last a long time yet the purple light might be a bother. Also be sure to place it on a flat surface not a tablecloth with wrinkles for instance. That way the fans are free to operate.

No it doesn't have a fan to keep laptop cool. It is more for keeping books or papers level on your lap. I am an above knee amputee and when I tried to read my Bible and make notes it was very hard. This really helps me to do this better. I even take it to church.

Mine works very well on a hard surface, such as a desk, but in my opinion it is too small to use on the lap.

Yes, all you need to do is flip it over so that the fan covers are on the bottom and the legs stick up. The rubber pads on the legs grip your laptop and the fans blow the heat away. I'm using mine right now on a fluffy down comforter.

Yes you can, it worked just fine on my bed. The stand that's attached to the cooler allows different height levels, so that you can elevate your laptop. And since the fan will seat directly beneath your laptop that too is elevated. I hope this helps.

I have a 17" HP laptop and it helps cool it by at least 50%, as I play games alot. The 5 fans it has is a big plus! I highly recommend it!

The fan is not loud at all, it's a very quite Laptop. The Laptop will get warm if holding in your lap for a long period of time.

If you want to use noisy fans that tie up your usb port then they may work. I have been using 2 of these for several years on 17 in laptops and they work well. They only flex a little for lap comfort. Very tough and though best fit would be 15 in or smaller there is still nothing to compare with the cool lift period for me. It works and I love mine.

my son uses it and likes it... personally with my pro I prefer a model with fans keeps my lap cooler :)

It's a horrible idea to use this fan to get air into a room to be honest. This is simply a computer fan, and the dust and dirt it will pull it from outside will ruin itself. Its also just 120mm, perfect in a computer situation but not for a house... Yes, in theory your configuration would work though.
