Question... Does Size Matter?
 

It says TECH question! I’m looking for a laptop cooling pad that works via USB port. Four or five fans, under $25 and rated highly.

I see they go by size. My laptop is ten inches (10”) I believe and many are for twelve inches (12”) and bigger.

I know if I get fifteen inches (15”) the fans won’t be under the laptop correctly. But will a few inches matter?

The laptop is only used a few times a month. It’s not new so I fear overheating by old components. I use it while lying on my side; it sits on my sheets. Yesterday I went to put it the case and my sheets were hot. I have a silicone air mattress pad and didn’t want to scorch it.

On Amazon, do you recommend any model or feature that I’d need? I see the pads with legs but I need the fans. USB as I have a lamp with two usb outlets.

Thanks

you need this

google "Laptop Table"

some also comes with fans "laptop table with fan"

I’d have to sit up mostly and that hurts too much. I sleep on my back and too much on one area breaks down the skin. I have a hospital table over the bed already.

I need something low so I can lie on my side and use it. My laptop screen folds back so you can use it as a tablet. It’s just too heavy, though.

here is the one I have and it's helped a lot

Thanks, but it’s for 15”+. 2.5” overhang on each side won’t miss the hot spots and cool the wrong areas? I can’t recall the model number but it’s a Dell laptop that doubles as a tablet Discontinued all three models and I like it though the hdd failed after three months. They sent a new one and I saw posts of others with the same issue.

It’s a gift and the giver wants to spend $25 or less at Amazon. Prime pricing but the have to order by Thursday afternoon for Monday delivery. I said I didn’t care if it came in after Christmas but I’m not in charge!

ok I see you have a 10" laptop so you might want a smaller one like this one

They all work and you don't need to over think this just read the reviews

You dont need fancy cooling mats - Just keep a glass of water handy and do this when you think it might be getting a little hot... :2 cents:

your balls can be cookeed
