    Strengths: Well-built, nice black-finish all-metal body. Silent fans

    Weaknesses:Short power cable (USB). Big and heavy to move around. Shortdepth for 17.1 inches and some 15.4 inches laptops.

    Overall Evaluation: The Notepal W1 Notebook Cooler R9-NBC-AWAK is a well-built and nice looking notebook cooler. It has a nice black paint job that is pleasant on the eyes. It also boosts a couple of silent fans that seem to be good quality. However, there are some flaws that make this cooler not highly recommended. The major concern is that it will not fit properly medium sized to big laptops. Although the wide screen format is a welcomed format, it was not balanced with a proper depth. I have a 15.4 HP laptop that protrudes from the back of the cooler almost two inches. The usefulness of a cooler with this flaw is seriously affected. Other problem is that it is completely flat, which that not allows for a good airflow. The lack of an adequate contoured pattern avoid the possibility of passive cooling, which is worsen by the fact that the short depth make your laptop rest directly over the cooler surface, instead of the laptop rubber legs.

    Strengths: all aluminum construction, quite fans, dedicated on/off switch

    Weaknesses:heavy, not for portable

    Overall Evaluation: This is an excellent product, very good build quality. The only disadvantage is its portability. It fits my 15.4" widescreen notebook well, just a tiny bit wider. It gets power from the USB port. It has a dedicated on/off switch, which I think it's better than antec's whose product doesn't have a power switch. The design is also very elegant, tilted a bit. The fans are very quiet, but the speed is a bit slow. Overall it is quite efficient at drawing hot air from the notebook. This is definitely a very good product for home use.

    Strengths: Fits 17" notebooks, Solid construction

    Weaknesses:Fans do not help, Pricey

    Overall Evaluation: This is the best notebook cooler that I have used. It is the only one big enough to fit a Dell M90. It is made of thick anodized aluminum, which will not flex at all.The extra side bonus is the tilted position makes the keyboard easier on your wrists.The only downside is that the fans do not move much air, so they do not help with the cooling much. It really should have been designed to cool the aluminum like a heatsink, rather than try to blow onto the laptop itself.
