I bought one of these to cool a desktop replacement, the Dell Inspiron 9100. It effectively cooled that laptop around 10-15 degrees on a regular basis. At present it cools an HP Pavilion dv7 series 17.3" laptop with room to spare:-)
Likes:
Plenty of USB ports (the most I've found so far in a cooler)
3 120 MM fans (very effective cooling)
USB powered (no wall wart for external power)
Well suited for wide screens, will probably do nicely even for an 18" or even larger
Dislikes:
Fan noise: I had to modify the unit to prevent the fan blades from scraping against the grilles by adding shim washers to the fans for spacing. Not much clearance there from the factory....
Static electricity: In a dry environment, this cooler caused the above laptop to shut down. Apparently static electricity would pass from the user through the cooler to the comp via the USB port(s). I did not try the experiment with any other laptop for fear of zapping the motherboard. A humidifier helped that situation greatly.
I greatly recommend this cooler as it is well constructed out of aluminum, has large non slip rubber areas, folds up for storage, and cools quite well. The only reason for 4 stars is because the fan grilles tend to warp (or came from the factory that way)... |

NZXT ACC-NT-CRYO LX Aluminum Notebook Cooler 120MM Adjustable Fans (Black) On the strength of other positive reviews I bought this NZXT notebook cooler and my initial experience working with a 17" MacBook Pro was positive. However, leaving the computer (switched off) on the notebook cooler stand (with fans switched off) unattended proved disastrous. Contrary to my other cooler stand (a Zalman product), the NZXT stand failed to hold the MacBook Pro in place and the computer slipped off the stand sustaining serious damage to the case in the fall.
Comparison with the Zalman cooler stand which has no problem holding the computer in place conclusively demonstrates the design flaw in the NZXT product. NZXT have so far refused to acknowledge or respond to my complaint.
A seriously flawed product, and a totally unresponsive manufacturer. Prospective clients are strongly advised to spend their money elsewhere. |

| Great product except the USB cable was a bit short. I replaced the one which was too short with on which is too long. Oh well . . . |

| Well. When I used this cooler with my Hp17" laptop (dv7t), yeah it looked cool, but it wasnt the most efficient. The most cooling i got out of it was 3Celciouus max and that was me moving my computer around the pad in different ways to cool it down better. The rubbers on the side actually half blocked the air intake on it. My laptop gets hot around the bottom left hand side, and the cooler cools down the back portion by the battery mostly. So, in the end it was nice to look at but did not serve its purpose very well. Thus, i rate it a 3/5 |

| I mainly use it to keep my tuner-amplifier from overheating - cool running electronic equipment last longer. Saw it as part of protecting my investment. |
