kdmeyer - (January 31, 2006) I'm on my second one of these, and I really, really like it. It's thin, light, quiet and does a great job of keeping my legs cool. It seems to keep the computer cooler, too, but, honestly, preventing leg scorch was my primary goal. ;^) Caution/suggestion: I'm on my second one of these because the tiny on/off switch on the cord snagged on something (laptop case? couch? who knows...) and ripped apart. A person with do-it-yourself skills could probably have fixed the torn wires, but that person isn't me. I don't know why you'd ever want it turned off, anyway, so I've covered the switch up with electrical tape on my new one. Hopefully that will protect it. Note on size: I use it wi

dale182 - (June 12, 2005) I purchased this mainly because it was CHEAP! I bought this thing for less than $15 with shipping and tax combined. It does what it's supposed to do - protect against theft by keeping laptop in place. What's included is a padlock with keys, 6ft cable, and a pivot clamp. The pivot clamp looks like a small scissor and has small ring that you put the padlock and the cable through. The pivot clamp doesn't fit nicely into the security slot in my T42 laptop; I had to sorta jam it in and push it down to keep it in the slot. The pivot clamp also doesn't look too strong although I doubt that it can be easily broken off. Overall, it works nicely but I wish I had invested a bit more to get one of

tmp692 - (January 26, 2005) Laptops are notorious for overheating, especially the Sony Vaio, like I have. Mine had gotten so bad that it would eventually just shut down. I had considered returning it (I had gotten the extended warranty) for repair. I read about overheating problems with laptops, so I blew out the cooling ports with canned air, which helped slightly, but not enough. I then ran across some comment about a cooling pad and started looking about and came across this one. It gave me a brand new computer. Now it really does perform like the 2GZ computer that it is. The pad is thin, easily hooks up to a USB port and is similar to a docking station. The only downside, if there is one, is that it d

awolpin - (03/22/2009) I purchased this lock through Consumer Depot, who offered the product for far less than anyone else, and with free shipping to boot. Product arrived only a few days after order, via USPS, containing the cable lock in a factory-fresh plastic blister. I am pleased with the price, speed and accuracy provided by Consumer Depot and would not hesitate to purchase through them again.

techsfan - (02/25/2009) I have been using this notebook stand for over two years now and absolutely love it. I didn't want to buy the types that use a cooling fan. After all, those fans will eventually become noisy and break down anyway. This stand does what it's meant to do. Although it's made of a strong metal, it is light, collapsible for travel, sleek, and very well constructed. Its adjustable telescopic arms accommodate laptops up to 17". It raises the back end of the laptop 1.25 inches off the desk in an inclined plane. As a result, the computer stays substantially cooler, and the fan doesn't run nonstop. Also, because of its inclined orientation, it noticeably improves the ergonomics of typing and viewing of the screen.

Charlie87 - (02/11/2009) Bought this a little over one year ago and have been using ever since. I use my laptop for work, five days a week for about 8 hours a day. My laptop uses a wireless card to connect to our server, with the Belkin Cooling Stand, when I close up at night and put everything away, it has only registered very moderate heat. Considering how it was before, there is no way that card would have lasted. Charlie87
