[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1593009, member: 56379"] Honestly…what's the most important aspect of a laptop cooler?? Reducing the internal temp of the laptop (of course)!:) Frequently…what data is usually missing from MANY laptop cooler reviews?? The amount of temp. reduction due to the laptop cooler!:( Why is this when installing a temperature monitoring app is so easy? In my opinion…it's because the amount of cooling from a laptop cooler is really very little. If the temp. reduction was dramatic…BELIEVE ME…authors of laptop cooler reviews would be including this info much more often. I did a bunch of searching…and came across very little temp reduction info in cooler reviews. I could only find one good article…and it was from 2007: [url=http://www.technorms.com/35713/best-laptop-cooling-pads]6 Best Laptop Cooling Pads You Can Buy[/url] As you can see in the review…the various laptop coolers helped to cool the laptop anywhere from 2°C to 6°C (3.6°F to 10.8°F). Laptop coolers can cost from approx. $6.99 to $129.99. Is this enough temp reduction to justify the purchase of a laptop cooler...personally…I really don't think so. MAYBE…if someone was very close (couple degrees) from the max. upper limit that the laptop can take before the laptop will shut down from excessive heat.
