havit HV-F2056 15.6″-17″ Laptop Cooler Cooling Pad – Slim Portable USB Powered (3 Fans), Black/Blue by havit

Received this yesterday and I am very happy with this purchase. The fans are quiet and they keep my laptop from overheating. Yesterday, nor today, did my laptop fans come on and the heat generated isn’t overheating me! I had noticed a discoloration on my thigh from where my laptop was overheating my skin. I was using towels and potholders, anything to protect my skin from further damage, but the other items only made me hotter and probably my laptop too. This has solved that. Hoping my skin color returns to normal over time. I recommend this cooling pad. Well worth the price. Seems like good quality. Comfortable on my lap. I generally keep my laptop plugged in, so I have noticed no change in power consumption.

No es un secreto que a todo portatil le llega su San Martín en cuanto a los problemas de calor se refiere, sobre todo en verano. El prolongado funcionamiento y la compresión de espacio en su vientre hace que el procesador y el disco duro alcancen temperaturas excesivas y provoquen malfuncionamiento e incluso el degradado de la pieza (dispersión de pasta térmica, etc).

Me decanté por éste modelo, principalmente por su tamaño adaptable a mi portátil de 15,6”, sus 3 ventiladores (mirar siempre que os coincidan con vuestra rejilla de la carcasa para mayor efectividad), y su “ergonomía inclinable” (unos 20º aprox), no resbala y la rejilla mantiene el equipo bien sujeto. Además, tiene un puerto adicional USB para no perder el que ya se usa para su funcionamiento (aunque lo mejor es usar un HUB para ampliar puertos). Es muy liviana y menos aparatosa que otros modelos más robustos que he visto.

El resultado es una base que refrigera el interior del equipo, unos 12-15 grados aprox según marca mi monitor CPUID, en rendimiento normal, y unos 8-10 grados en alto rendimiento de procesador y gráfica. Suficiente como para que ventile mejor gracias a la inclinación de la base, y para no “quemarme las manos” al escribir sobre el teclado. Se nota mucho. Además, es ultrasilencioso, hace menos ruido que los discos duros externos que tengo. Cumple su cometido para bajar apenas unos pocos grados la temperatura habitual.

Como curiosidad (ni buena ni mala, según gustos), desprende luz azulona mientras está en funcionamiento (tipo “gamer” llegué a leer), que si es cierto no se puede elegir que luzca o no, pero que no supone ningún problema, ya que cuando hay luz apenas se nota, y a oscuras ilumina los laterales de la mesa, como el ratón por ejemplo. Vale, no es ideal si vas a ver una peli por el efecto “ambilight”, pero no deslumbra la vista tampoco. A mi no me molesta.

Muy recomendada.

This runs fine I am glad I have it!

I’ve had this cooling pad for around 6 months now. Here are my thoughts,

The cooling pad itself seems to be of decent quality. The box includes two rubber pads that you have to stick onto the pad surface to help prevent your laptop from sliding. Unfortunately, the perforated aluminum face causes these pads to slide out of position over time. A better design would have the pads pre-installed.

I opted for the blue color. I like the look, but there’s no option to change colors or even turn off the light, which may become distracting while using at night.

The fans seem to be of good quality. They spin fast enough to effectively cool my laptop while gaming, but slow enough to be pretty quiet. It would’ve been nice if this pad had the ability to adjust the fan speed, but for what it’s worth, I think it’s been set just right for my use case.

On the back of the pad, there is one USB to power the cooling pad and another USB for passthrough. I haven’t yet tried this for data transfer, but I can imagine it’s not ideal. The included cable is, at least in my case, way too long, since my laptop has a port directly above where the cooling pad connector sits. For some people, this may be helpful, but you may want to consider getting a short cable.

The pad is easy to use, lightweight and fairly comfortable in my lap during long sessions. The pad also includes two risers at the bottom for adjustment, which may come in handy for some.

Overall, when you consider the excellent cooling capability, the lightweight construction, and then the price, it’s honestly a good value. It’s missing some features that you may find on more premium cooling pads, but it still has everything you need to keep your laptop from turning into an oven and that’s good enough for me.

This is an incredible product. It is whisper quiet and keeps my 17″ laptop nice and cool.

I no longer hear my fans coming on or the laptop struggling. The lights are not an issue as the laptop covers 98% of the illumination.

It’s light weight, well constructed and has a great price point. You will not regret picking this up.
