Review by Nessa for Logitech Notebook Cooling Pad (N100)

My computer would get so hot while I watching movies or television shows on my computer that it would literally burn my leg. I didn’t even want to think about what it was doing to my computer! I’d been looking around for laptop coolers for some time, but the reviews on most were not exactly promising. For a while I almost bought the Belkin cooling pad, but there were several complaints about the location of the fan making it prone to being blocked (which is the problem I have with my computer’s fan already!). Then I came across the Logitech N100 cooling pad, and based on the positive reviews and rear air intake designed, I finally decided on this one, and man am I glad!
The first thing I noticed about the pad was how light it was. You won’t believe it until you lift it yourself. It weighs next to nothing. It looks nice, too, and will complement any computer. It’s plenty big enough to fit my 15.4 inch widescreen computer, and would probably easily fit a computer a couple inches wider. My computer didn’t slide on the surface, and it’s easy to move the computer while on the pad. They both lift easily together. The curved design leaves a nice area for air to come in under the laptop (one of the main reasons my computer got so hot while on my lap was because there was no space for air to get to the bottom) and it leaves a way for heat to escape. The genius part, however, is the rear air intake. It draws air in from the back, not from underneath the cooler. This is especially effective when I’m laying in bed. I can set the cooler on my plush comforter and air can still get in!
Immediately, I was pleased with the USB cable. There’s a place on the bottom of the cooling pad where you can sort of thread the cord through so that it stays tight and isn’t all over the place and in the way. So I threaded it through in the direction I wanted it and plugged it in. Then I waited…And waited…And waited. Nothing. Or so I thought. It was so quiet that I thought it wasn’t working, and I had to lift my computer to check to see if the fan was moving! It was.
Now, some people have made a comment about the power of the fan, and I will agree with them that it is fairly low-powered. However, that’s not really a problem. Because of the design of the cooling pad, only minimal air is needed. My computer fan has not kicked on since I’ve had the cooling pad. At the most, my computer will get slightly warm, but even then it’s nothing compared to the burns I used to get from it. And it’s probably a bit unreasonable to think that a machine doing as much processing as the standard laptop does is never going to get the least bit warm.
Overall, I’m immensely pleased with my purchase. It was worth the wait and the price to end up with a light, aesthetically appealing, nearly silent, and highly effective cooler. If you’re looking around and haven’t made up your mind yet, I’d recommend you give this one more than just a passing glance.

I wish I could give this thing two separate ratings but since I can’t I went with 3 stars. I’d give it 5 for design alone. The placement of the fan and its intake are great. I never have to worry about the intake being cut off by my clothing when it’s on my lap, a problem I had with my previous laptop cooling pad was a Belkin F5L001 Laptop Cooling Stand. I have also written a review for the Belkin pad.
I’d give it 1 star for the fan. The fan is extremely quiet but that is because it does not move a great deal of air. Since the air flow is very low, it is not adequately cooling my own laptop. While the 2 star reviewer states that the fan is overkill, I’d like anyone reading this to note that laptops vary between manufacturers and models. How hot your laptop gets will vary depending on make/model and even how you’re using it. This pad may be good for you if your laptop only gets uncomfortably warm.
Unfortunately, this is not the case with my laptop, an older Macbook pro (that I suspect may be on its way out) that gets skin searingly hot to the point that it interferes with the functioning of the laptop. An efficient and working cooling pad is actually a necessity for me. If I could put the fan from the Belkin mentioned above, into this pad it would be perfect.

I had low expectations for this, since I haven’t had great experience with cooling pads. They only sort-of work in terms of heat dissipation, and tend to be noisy (or become noisy as the parts wear in).
This one has so far been a very surprising change from the past. It’s very quiet, I’m not sure if what I hear is just my notebook, or the pad as well. So I was even more sceptical about the cooling, but it fooled me. So far, my hot-running Dell XPS has been running much cooler, even when I’m doing something cpu-intensive like playing chess.
So try it, you might really like it! (The price is a bit steep, in my view, but I guess you get what you pay for.)
Note on size: this is about 14.25 x 11 inches, large enough for a 17-inch laptop perhaps.

I have bought over 30 products on amazon and not once have I felt I had to write a review though all my transaction have been pretty good. I was a tad bit worried about the power of the fan speed from people’s reviews on here but I also saw how a lot people loved it and it seemed to be the best one I could find overall.
I was hoping for comfort, sleek design, durability, and most importantly very efficient cooling. I have to say it has met all of my hopes and exceeded them. This cooling pad has a very comfortable design I hated setting my laptop on my lap though I feel that is where a laptop belongs. I have a hp laptop and I like playing games on it and everyone who has an hp can get pretty hot when you doing something intensive. Even on a table the thing gets hot when gaming you can forget about keeping it on your lap for long. The n100 fits in my lap perfectly its not to small and not big. Its actually smaller than I thought but has a great width size. The n100 keep my lap at a nice temperature the only warmth you will feel the normal feeling of have something in your lap. Its also a great looking piece of equipment but I don’t have to tell you that.
Now to keeping your laptop cool. The n100 has only one fan setting and it very lite on battery usage. Also its amazingly silently u wont know its on from sound. That’s what worried me but let me reassure it is the most efficient laptop pad I’ve have ever seen. The fan by itself doesn’t seem extremely powerful but it extremely effective with how the pad is built. The airflow on this pad is nothing short of amazing. You can tell logitech did their research while most pad try to get u to believe the more fans the more effective it will be. I guess you would need more fans if u didn’t set it up for the air to flow perfectly as the n100. My hp laptop which got very hot when playing games now barely even gets slightly warm at all. The airflow from the fan and the design of the pad keeps air flowing all over over my notebook.
When you combine comfort, sleek design, completely silent fan, extremely efficient cooling and airflow you have the perfect cooling pad. Thanks logitech for such well designed product.

I’ve used a few different lap desks before and most of them have a cloth pad underneath for your legs. The problem with this is the cloth still gets warm from the computer sometimes and it’s still not much more comfortable than putting the computer directly on your lap. Most of the pads that I’ve used like seem cheaply made and don’t cost all that much less to buy than the Logitech N100. I’m really happy with it- Its fan cools not only the bottom of the computer, but also your legs which was the main selling point for me in the first place. The design is comfortable on your lap and also works well if you want to place it on a table or desk. My only gripe with the product is that while the USB that comes out from underneath the pad(to power it) can easily plug into either side or the back of your computer(depending on how your computer is set up), it isn’t very easy to put away. You have to try and push it back into a slot at the bottom and it always seems to pop back out on me. Other than the cable, though, the pad seems well made and pretty inexpensive. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking to keep their computer cool at their desk or away.
