Laptops get hot. That's a fact. Some brands can run hotter than others. The laptop I used prior to my ASUS would get so hot on my lap, that it would actually burn me! Eventually, the laptop died, and I am certain that it had something to do with all that overheating.
Now, my ASUS does get hot, just not as hot as my previous computer. At times, when I am using my laptop for long periods of time, it gets so hot that it just shuts itself off. Not good. Determined not to lose another laptop to my mistake of allowing the computer to constantly overheat, I started to research products that would keep my laptop cool. It was around this time that ThermaPAK offered to send me one of their HeatShift Cooling Pads to try.
The unipocket design used in the HeatShift Technology™ ensures maximum heat distribution from the notebook computer. Its design also creates air channels beneath the computer for proper ventilation and air passage.
A device that transfers heat by conduction AND convection provides the maximum amount of heat exchange. Conduction is heat transferred directly from one object to another by physically touching. Convection is heat transferred by the movement of liquid molecules from warmer areas to cooler ones. HeatShift Technology™ pads utilize both conduction and convection to cool your laptop - and your lap!
When I first received the ThermaPAK HeatShift Cooling Pad, I noticed that it was a bit stiff. After use for a few days, it began to soften up a bit- most likely from absorbing all that laptop heat! Since using the HeatShift Cooling Pad, my computer has not shut off once. I can use my laptop for extended periods of time, and I feel no heat at all. I love that! I have taken the HeatShift Cooling Pad with me when I travel with my laptop and like that it is portable. I can either slip it in with my laptop in the carrying case or roll it up and stash it in a corner of my suitcase. Either way, it wakes up very little room. My favorite feature of the TermaPAK HeatsShift Cooling Pad? It saves my computer from an early death due to overheating too many times! This is most important to me.
I would recommend anyone who owns a laptop purchase a Thermapak Heatshift Laptop Cooler. It is a great, inexpensive product that is durable, portable and dependable. It is a must-own product for anyone who owns a laptop.
ThermaPAK offers the HeatShift Cooling Pad in the colors black, pink, or white (for MAC). You can also purchase it in either a 13", 15", or 17" size. Purchase yours by visiting the ThermaPAK website.

Sometimes our laptop doesn't shut down correctly and gets VERY hot. This would help a ton!

i'd love to win a cooling pad because my laptop ate though 4 different cheap cooling pads that connected to the usb port of my laptop. the fans would die after a few months! this pad looks awesome and i like that it doesn't require any power or fans!

I need this so badly! Our laptop gets so hot and I really worry that it is melting the battery. We certainly don't have as much battery life as we once did. Thanks for the chance to win!
I use a pillow to support my laptop when I'm on the couch or in bed. It has overheated a couple of times and I need to take better care of my baby.
This would be wonderful to have since my laptop often gets so overheated that I often can't use it anymore.
My first laptop! Yea! But they said I didn't need a cooling pad - duh, sounds like I do so I'd love to win!
