![]() So, I bought a lot of cooling mats, tested their cooling effects and how they work, and finally made this list. The higher the battery temperature, the faster the power is lost and the rest of the machine will degrade.Įspecially in the fierce game play, if the internal temperature of the laptop is too high, it will seriously affect its performance. When you want to improve the high-end performance of your notebook, the most important thing is to dissipate heat. It is thinner, better and less expensive.Recently, I have researched a large number of laptop cooling pads, because I found that laptop cooling has seriously affected my computer performance. Well, it looks as though they addressed the minor issues I had. The price, though reasonable, may be higher than some competitors In my previous review I said the following:Įven though this is a very effective solution, it could be even better They now cost five dollars less, $24.95 at the Xpad4Laptop site. And you can buy them for less than the original. They don’t use any electricity such as USB powered laptop pads with fans, they have no moving parts and are light, strong and unobtrusive. I have no doubt both it and the new Slim will last a long time. As for durability, after thrashing the original for a year and a half, and letting my kids beat on it (and my poor laptop), the Xpad has held up extremely well. It is thinner, lighter, and dissipates heat just as well, if not better, than the original. I found the Xpad Slim to be excellent, and slightly better than the original, which I have loved. Yet they are made with non-slip rubber and hold the laptop well. The original model’s corners were solid, but these are vented, which allows air to diffuse through them, thus providing enhanced cooling. The four legs of the “X” are now designed differently as well. Top: original is less wide than the new Xpad slimīoth universal designs accommodate laptops up to 17″, but the new, wider design allows the user to spread their legs and be more comfortable. Top left: Xpad slim – Top right: original Top left: Xpad Slim – Top right: original Top left: new, slim design – Top right: original design Both fit well under my 15″ laptop (see pictures below): The new, slimmer model, weighs less than a pound and has dimensions 14.5″ x 10.5″ x. The original weighed 1 lb, and had dimensions 13″ x 10.5″ x. The first difference I noticed about the Xpad Slim is the size. ![]() So does the new, slimmer version, improve upon the old design? It’s light and strong, and provides a great base for computing. Just take it out of the box, put it on your lap or a desk, put your laptop over it and you are ready to roll. The design itself provides the cooling using passive technology. ![]() Inside is a strong platform with insulative air pockets, and EVA insulation material at the bottom provides a third layer of insulation and acts as the non-skid surface.” The Xpad for Laptop, as I said in my previous review, works like this: “The legs of the “X” shape are raised slightly above the base of the unit, allowing airflow and cooling. As you know, laptops get mighty hot – up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit – and uncomfortable sitting on your lap. In January of 2008 I had the pleasure to review the Xpad for Laptop, a nonslip laptop cooler and heatshield, and I have used it ever since.
