Aidata LD007P Laptop Cooling Lap Board (Black)

This is a very good product. I purchased it to keep ME cool as well as my computer. I routinely work on my laptop in my lounge chair, and the gadget I was using for a lap desk was inadequate. I settled on this one, and I'm very pleased with it. It has many choices for elevation with more than adequate height. The rim of the board is holding my machine comfortably in place, but I am mindful of the fact that I need to be careful with it, when I put the lap desk holding the computer on a table to go do something. The fan plugs into a USB port and works well. It can be easily disconnected if you need to use the port. I did read about broken fans in a couple of reviews. The first time I went to handle the upper portion of the desk, I went to grab it, and I realized I had put my hands in a position that would put pressure on the fan. You can certainly break the fan especially if you have large hands and make this mistake. It's plenty easy enough to do whatever you need to without getting your hands in the fan -- but you do need to think about it at first. Reasonably careful handling will avoid problems. This has a comfortable pad that it sits on. The ventilation is excellent. The height is good. I haven't used the mouse pad, because I use a trackball that sits on the arm of my chair while I'm working. I would highly recommend this product. It seems as if it's sensibly made and I expect it to be durable. An excellent product.

I bought a 17.3" gaming laptop a few months ago, and I bought this along with it. Why have a gaming laptop if you can't use it in your lap? I what I was really looking for was a lap desk with room for a mouse or with a mouse pad, but this was the only thing I could really find, and I figured the fan couldn't hurt. Turns out this was a great purchase. Very comfortable to use, this thing is almost perfect. It keeps my computer nice and cool while running huge games like Skyrim, the mouse pad extension is great for my gaming mouse (really not flimsy at all, and nice and smooth), and I didn't know how much I would appreaciate the adjustable angle thing. My laptop is quite thick, so being able to tilt the keyboard up is actually very useful for making it comfortable as well as helping to put the screen at a good viewing height. Only problem I have is that it JUST BARELY fits my 17.3" laptop. The back of my laptop actually hangs a bit off the back of the desk, but that really has not been a problem, and the rubber stop in the front keeps my laptop from sliding around just fine, hence it is still 5 stars. I did a ton of research, and this was quite literally the ONLY product on the market that would do what I wanted. All in all, great product, would highly recommend it.

I don't blame the seller for this one - but the quality is not there on the fan. The fan stopped working the first day. Some people probably would send it back right then and there, but I'm not great about sending large objects back. I got the phillips head screwdriver out and removed the four screws and pulled out the fan unit. One piece of the plastic fan blade fins broke off and the fan was working again. So I closed everything back up and resumed using it. I have a toshiba satellite laptop. I had the stand on a coffee table adjacent to the couch. A couple of days later, the laptop slid off the front lip and tipped onto the floor along with the stand. Fortunately the laptop wasn't higher above the ground before it fell, but the fall dislodged the fan further, meaning it is now noisy. I was keeping an eye on the laptop's temp and wasn't getting substantial cooling with the fan anyway as the fan for the stand doesn't sit above the fan for the laptop. So right now I'm using it without the fan, but I could have gotten a cheaper lap board without the fan. I have not tried adjusting the fan again to see if I can cut down on the noise. If you have a thicker laptop, make sure the stand sits fully on the table or on your lap. The padding itself is firm but not uncomfortable. It is easy to adjust height. It isn't easy to use in the flat position with the fan on because the usb cable for the fan might get pinched in the stand's housing. That being said, I don't use it in the flat position, and I'm still using it. ---------- I'm updating this review and increasing this product a star from three to four. I have been using this stand for about half a year now. After losing three blades over time, the fan was toast, it was so off balance. I tried searching for a new one on line, thinking it would be something I could replace on my own. But most fans are not 5v with a USB attachment. So I emailed the manufacturer of the stand, AIDATA,through their support site, as well as the maker of the fan itself. I asked what I could do to replace the fan. AIDATA emailed me right back apologizing for the inconvenience, and told me to send my address as they were going to send me a new fan priority mail. In this day and age, I appreciate such service. The fan arrived today. I swapped it out with the other one, and am thrilled. While I wish the fan worked when I first got it, I never did contact the company directly until now, and didn't bother returning the product, since the stand itself seemed of good construction and design. I haven't had any more accidental falls of the laptop off the stand. Using the laptop at an angle is way more comfortable in general. Using the keyboard slightly elevated is more comfortable than flat and having the screen at eye level is more comfortable. The way this stand is designed, it is adjustable to several heights (notches where you lock the piece that props up the stand). I have never had it slip a notch or collapse. The padding on this is still firm but comfortable. In my original comment, I couldn't figure out how you could use the stand flat without crimping the fan cord that connects to usb. I have since found a groove on either side near the top where you can run the usb cable through to an opening on the side. So you can use it in the flat position without crimping the cable. I don't use it flat normally, but I wouldn't want my original comment to discourage someone. Perhaps if they redo the packaging, they could show pictures of how the usb cable can be secured on the stand. It's a very well-thought-out product and I would buy it again. If, by chance, you get a dud fan, contact AIDATA. They were great. It could be that the shipping knocked the fan out of balance to begin with, which caused the fins to break as soon as I plugged it in, so perhaps packaging the fan separately and letting the user insert it might be the way to go. Anyway - I'm happier now with the new fan!

Article conforme à ce que je cherchais, un support pour utiliser mon portable sur mes genoux. Plus de surchauffes intempestives

Ich habe lange nach einem ordentlichen Laptophalter gesucht, der neben dem besseren Sichtwinkel meine teuren Möbel vor Kratzer schützt. Vieles was es zu kaufen gibt ist wie ein Kissen zu groß, zu weich, verursacht Kratzer oder schlicht nicht haltbar/stabil. Die Unterlage hier hat mich sofort überzeugt, da sich das Material und die Art genau für meinen Zweck eignen. Interessant finde ich wie viele gute Ansätze hier zu einem Produkt verschmolzen wurden: + Unterlage, die so wohl als Beinauflage, als auch auf allen anderen Oberflächen geeignet ist und diese nicht angreift + großes Maß an Einstellmöglichkeiten (Winkel) + steckbare Mausablage, die man innen verstauen kann + leicht anschließbarer Ventilator zur zusätzlichen Kühlung (funktioniert und kühlt tatsächlich merklich) mit ebenfalls innen verstaubarem USB Kabel (liegt bei; fest montiert) + Produkt lässt sich sehr handlich zu einer Art Koffer zusammenpacken (gefällt mir sehr gut und nimmt so wenig Platz weg und lässt sich hervorragend transportieren) Neutral finde ich die Verarbeitung-diese ist nicht schlecht. So hat das Plastik keine abstehenden Kanten (Grad) was für mich ein absolutes No-Go gewesen wäre. Andererseits könnte die Stütze innen dicker sein und der Look noch etwas wertiger (eine wirkliche Schönheit ist es voll montiert nicht wirklich. Man sieht dass alles billiges Plastik ist) Kritisch ist bei mir folgendes-dafür dann auch der Abzug: Das Produkt gibt es nur in einer Einheitsgröße-von den Maßen her hätte es noch gepasst. Aber das Produkt ist schlicht nicht wirklich für große High End Laptops konzipiert. Ich habe einen 17 Zoll Toshiba neuster Generation, der eben auch einiges verbaut hat und sein Gewicht hat (Alu Gehäuse, viele Anschlüsse etc.) Stellt man den Laptop mittig auf rutscht er, da die Maße ausgereizt sind von der schieren Größe und die Noppen und vor allem die unterste Leiste, die die Hauptlast zu tragen hat (aufgestecktes Gummie) nicht weit genug herausragt. Ich habe mitlerweile herausgefunden, dass man es ausbalancieren kann, wenn man den Laptop weiter nach links schiebt (so dass er übersteht- 3 bis 4 cm). Dann greifen die Anti-Rutsch Befestigungen besser und es geht gerade so das der Laptop stabil gehalten wird. Hätte ich das nicht rausgefunden hätte ich das Produkt trotz aller Vorzüge zurückschicken müssen, da sich eine ordentliche Nutzung dann erübrigt hätte. Wenn man schon nur eine Einheitsgröße baut und das Produkt auch für 17 Zoll ausschreibt dann doch lieber etwas Spielraum lassen und die Gummieleiste 1 bis 2 cm mehr herasustehen lassen, damit auch schwerere Laptops nicht darüber rutschen (dies wäre mit wenig Aufwand und geringsten Kosten möglich gewesen). So hat man ein eigentlich geniales Produkt fast ruiniert. Ebenfalls finde ich es schade dass das USB Kabel innen nicht 2 bis 3 cm länger ist; es lässt sich so wie es ist sehr schwer ordentlich zusammenrollen und in die vorgesehene Halterung einfädeln. Man hat an so viel gedacht.aber an den Kleinigkeiten haperts dann. Eine Anleitung liegt übrigends nicht bei. Das Produkt ist wenn es ausgeliefert wird eingeschweißt und mit einer dicken Banderole aus Kartong umgeben. Trotz aller Kritik habe ich auch nach sehr langem Suchen nichts gefunden was meine Ansprüche derart erfüllt hat wie dieses Produkt. Deswegen kann ich es mit kleinen Abstrichen auch empfehlen und würde es auch selbst wieder kaufen, Die ca. 40 Euro sind gut angelegt.

Great design and really effective. I work from home a number of days a week and prefer to be able to sit anywhere to work rather than have a fixed desk and this is perfect. Multiple positions for the stand means you can get a good angle whatever position although to be honest I usually don't have it very steep so I can keep using keyboard. The optional side extension is great, and really useful as the stand itself is quite small so not much room around it. They all pack down and slot together well too, and the whole thing is really well designed. The soft pad on the bottom isn't hugely thick so had comfier (I've gone through 4 different lap stand designs in the past so I've tried many different types!). But the best thing about this is the design of the in built fan, which connects by USB to your laptop. The reason I've gone through so many in the past is that either my laptop over heats with the internal fan going crazy, or the stand itself over heats and warps the covering. I can now cool my laptop properly with very little extra noise as it's quieter than my laptop fan.

Es tal y como se describe, la calidad muy buena. Para usar en la cama o sofá me parece inmejorable

Bought for a new laptop for my hubby. Loved it so much that I just ordered another one for myself. Very comfortable, fits a 17 inch laptop very well. The adjustable height settings are fantastic. Keeps the laptop super cool with the built in fan. We looked for just the right lap board for quite some time. This one will not disappoint!
