" ... I'm pleasantly surprised, the auto speed control works well, the fan gets a little loud, but never over powers the sound from your system, or if on headphones the people around you, and it seems to help cool, and at the very least, vents the hot air just beyond my knees, your use of this feature may vary based on how long your legs are and how you use your system. ... "
" ... As far as the noise goes, it's definitely audible at max fan speed. ... It's not terrible by any means and is easily drowned out by music or the television, but it's noticeable without it. ... "
" ... DR: Amazing at cooling, very loud. ... "
" ... Mostly I like it because it's small and quiet. ... "
" ... As for noise, it isn't bad at all. ... But it sounds like a normal fan. ... "
" ... It can be loud - but it also can run quiet - it it has a good range and can cool the laptop down about 7-10 degrees over a few minutes if starting hot. ... "
" ... It's light, mostly plastic and I can hear the fan a good amount even on very low which in my experience with computer fans suggests to me that the fan quality may change in the long time use of this product because it's not necessarily of the highest quality. ... Definitely worth getting, it can't hurt to make your laptop cooler and quieter. ... "

" ... It has two settings, one is an automatic temp sensing setting that turns the fan on when the temperature of the air coming out of you laptop or notebook reaches a certain temperature. ... The other one is a manual setting which allows you to turn the fan on all the time and adjust the speed of the fan. ... "

" ... It's compact & works great. ... "
" ... Super light and compact. ... "
" ... A few small complaints: ... You can't curl up in a big blanket with the laptop or lay it somewhere where the device can be bent, but it's no different than having a USB stick protruding out of the side, it's just a bit longer. ... "
" ... Small, very quiet. ... "

" ... That being said, it is a bit clunky to strap onto your laptop. ... "
" ... The spring arms on this are weak, like stretched out click-pen springs, unlike models which let you screw the pegs down for a tight fit. ... While the permanent option might actually work, I don't feel like damaging my laptop in this way for a fan that I can't even be sure I'll be able to replace when the parts break down in time, leaving a stuck-on base I'd need to damage my laptop further to remove. ... "
" ... Doesn’t fit on any of my laptops and does nothing to cool at all no matter how long I spend trying to reposition it. ... "
