Belkin F5L001 laptop cooler review: cheap but reliable cooling pad

Let’s start reviewing the Belkin F5L001 laptop cooler. First of all, we should mention that this accessory is a laptop cooling pad which uses active cooling to lower the operating temperature of your laptop. That means it connects to USB port and it runs with power drown from your computer, in order to cool hot temperatures.

The Belkin F5L001 is a one fan notebook cooler, built out of plastic, with rubber pads up and down , it weights two pounds so it’s not light. It is based on a innovative technology that takes into account the heat’s tendency to rise and the air circulation, so it cools down your laptop by smart ventilation.

This notebook cooler is designed unfortunately only for 15.4’’ laptops or notebooks and could be acquisitioned in Black or White. The rubber pads I’ve mentioned earlier are not just stylish, but they also keep your laptop from falling. After a first glance, you’ll be left with the impression that it looks allot like a wave, but it’s exactly this wave shape that allows this cooling pad to push your laptop heat up and out of  the PC. Its design is ergonomic too, therefore you won’t have any trouble at all with the neck or the wrists. I hope you are still paying attention, because there’s more: the USB cord that powers this laptop cooling pad has got even a dedicated storage compartment, this way you won’t lose it. Its dimensions and weight make it easy to carry around in the laptop bag and it comes with LIFETIME WARRANTY!

Let’s talk about the performances too! Like I said, one fan…one of the most silent fans (if clean), so it doesn’t sound like an airplane placed underneath your laptop, which is good. However, perfection has only been invented in words, not in facts, therefore this device is not perfect either. Speed control settings are absolutely absent and so it is a on-ff switch (you take the USB cable out to stop it). As a precaution, you should always keep the fan clean and the feet open so you’ll get the maximum effect!

Should you get it? Yes, if you own a laptop or notepad up to 15.4’’ and if it gives you a hard time with the heat! One can easily travel with this cooling pad if you don’t mind carrying around 2lbs of plastic, so if you have that passion too, than it suits you! If you like to use your laptop on your lap (while working, gaming or watching movies), than you should know that the Belkin F5L001 laptop cooler is pretty comfortable!

The price goes around 22 dollars on Amazon, so it’s quite a deal! The lack of fan speed adjustment and the on-off button could be considered minor annoyances overcame by cooling effectiveness, portability and the lifetime warranty!
