CoolerMaster NotePal LapAir Notebook Cooler Review

Final Thoughts
[COLOR=black]With a product of this nature, there is not a great deal that can be said about this, but in a nut shell, it does what it says on the tin. The LapAir is a little different to the generic notebook cooler design in that its incorporated foam padding on the base for use and comort on ones lap sets it apart.
The cooler abeit being slightly bulky, is light and comfortable for extended use. It’s large size means that it freely accomodates a wide variety of laptops on the market.
Using any notebook cooler does have an upside as with any cooling product. Not only does it impove comfort of use, but the cooling, albeit marginal onto the base of the notebook, lowers the operating temperature – as we all know, lowering the temperature will prolong the running life of your notebook.
You may be thinking, but why should i spend around £20 on a cooler that barely drops the temperature. Heres how you justify this, would you rather spend ~£20 and have your laptop run for an extra couple of years or spend around £400 every 3-4 years on a new laptop?
I’ve had one of my laptops now for 10 years, and its been running on a cooler for 8 of them on my desk. It still runs as good as it did on day one and has no sign of giving up yet.
