Title: Nice design, effective cooling but NOISY
Review: This is a nice-looking pad that cools very well. Unfortunately the fan is EXTREMELY NOISY. I can usually last half an hour before I have to unplug the pad for my head to take a rest from the noise. I am using my laptop on a desk with external monitor & keyboard so it is not that I am blocking the fan or pushing on it with my thighs/arms etc. It is simply very poor quality. So the result is a nice-looking effective pad that I can hardly use! If you spend hours on your computer (like I do) you may want to consider another pad.Update Mar 15 2009: The noise on the Belkin became so unbearable that I tossed it (so it only lasted 4-5 months). I have now bought a ZALMAN ZM-NC1000 Ultra Quiet Notebook Cooler. It costs $50 but it is worth every single penny and then some. High quality sturdy construction, superior cooling and completely quiet. I highly recommend it. http://www.amazon.com/ZALMAN-Ultra-Notebook-Cooler-ZM-NC1000/dp/B000JSFT0Y
