Box Fan Behind My Heating Laptop Computer

My special needs family member uses music as calming sensation. Behind the neck and over ears helps make the headphones less obvious. Bluetooth irritates him. He likes his radios and the 1 cord on these is perfect for the radio in his pocket.

MAYBE IM A LITTLE BEHIND BUT HAVE THESE LIGHTS IS CONVENIENT. I HAVE AN ALEXA AND IT MAKES IT SO EASY FOR ME TO TURN OFF MY BEDROOM LIGHT AT NIGHT. I ALSO HAVE ONE IN MY HALLWAY THAT I TURN ON FROM MY PHONE WHEN IM AT WORK SO MY HOUSE DOESNT LOOK LIKE THERES NOBODY HOME. I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND THIS

I use this for my Macbook Pro. I actually find it cools it better than having the laptop on a fan. It's also much more comfortable to work with the computer at eye level. I use an external mouse and keyboard, but the trackpad is still easy to reach for scrolling or swiping. It doesn't bend, the metal is about a quarter inch. The front lip is about 3 inches from the table. I would recommend this to anyone with a laptop, especially with Apple laptops. The aluminum tone is identical to that of the Macbook Pro.

First of all I wanted to thank B&H for fast delivery upon availability of the product. On top of that I never had to pay taxes on any purchase from B&H. Now, I have this MBA for over a week. Everyone talked about fantastic keyboard. My experience is no different. Pretty responsive i7 processor with 16 GB RAM. I was bit worried about over-heating and fan noise. For normal use, which I do most of the time, it's not an issue. I had to write on-line tests twice this far. The 'Test' tracks the screen, your movement through camera and also tracks any sound using microphone, while presenting the questions. Thus, it pushes the limit for this MBA. Yes, it was very hot and fan was raving fast with lot of noise throughout the test duration, bit annoying at times. But that two times were exceptional. I will try to execute some ML regression code. As Intel advertised using Intel version of TensorFlow and Python; I will have to install those before I run the test. If this MBA performs within acceptable range of heating and noise, I will be happy. I know this is Air, not a Pro. But I bought this as it was within my budget and Intel 10th Gen processor that has special support for Machine Learning. I also noticed the Activity-Monitor has some kind of bugs, not showing mem-usage columns per application, needed to delete plist to show them up again. I hope Apple-team will fix that soon. Overall I am happy with B&H and this MacBook Air for portability and modest power.

I shoot real estate photography and videos, and edit using Premiere Pro. My 17 laptop is fully upgraded, 32 Gig RAM, SSD hard drive, and the processors fan was always kicking in high speed when editing video and running super hot (I have a clean dust-free laptop too). Although Ive not measured the before and after difference in computer speed, that was not my intention for getting the cooling pad -- I was looking to keep my processor cool and happy. Before the cooling pad, the heat blowing out of the right side vent was hot to touch.  But after using this Thermaltake cooling pad, my processors fan has never kicked into high-gear yet, and the processor runs at a consistent normal slower speed. And actually, the cooling pad fan makes my entire work area cooler too (kid you not). Theres an adjustable fan speed scrolling switch on the left side to control the speed of the cooling fans, along with an on/off switch for the blue lights. The USB connection is on the left, but that wasnt an issue for me as my laptop has 2 USBs on left and 2 on the right side. The noise level is nothing to speak of. If I were recording voice using a microphone, I would of course turn off the cooling pad. But even on high speed, the fans are quiet. I have my speed set to just a little above the off position, and it still cools incredibly well. My only complaint are the 2 tabs in the front, to keep a laptop from sliding down, protrude above the level of my laptop so they rub into the bottom of my arms when typing.  If Thermaltake had perhaps installed rubber covers over the tops, or made them slightly lower, that might help (see pic). However, I keep those tabs folded down as my laptop doesnt slide around, so I dont use them anyway. Overall, I would recommend buying this cooling pad, and I cannot imagine why one would need to spend more. Its quiet and keeps your processor cool and happy!

Needed to connect laptop computer headphone audio out to a PA system for a presentation on photography. AV chaps told me that a transformer was necessary to connect the laptop to the PA's microphone input along with the necessary cable adapters. The AV guys provided me with a DI box to do the job - it did. But I bought one of these for testing and it worked every bit as well as the DI box. It's a keeper.

Works right out of the box! Connect to your computer or laptop. Super easy connection, it’s so easy and seamless I ‘m finding myself double checking that it auto connected. Hands one of the best products on the market today!

Excellent for heavy laptop use. I've not seen any heating issues. I didnt do Windows transfer, just booted from media and did fresh install. Very happy with the purchase and performance

I had an issue with my laptop over heating and shutting down. Once I had this cooling pad in place my laptop has not shutdown because of heat.

I absolutely love this computer! I needed a new laptop since I'm going back to school for another two to three years. My old computer still worked great, but was about eight years old and wouldn't support Windows 11. I was originally thinking about getting a Macbook. Then I saw this computer and it was a steal, especially with the HP Student Discount. It does everything I could ever ask it to do, and more. If you can get this computer for a decent price, I would highly recommend it.
