![]() ![]() The Recool’s wood-pulp material (similar to papier-mâché), bound with a biodegradable wax called alkyl ketene dimer, doesn’t dissolve when wet. The Igloo Recool lives up to the hype: It’s as effective as a polystyrene cooler and reusable a few times, and it composts easily. This is where laptop cooling pads come in.Why it’s great: A disposable cooler is always a backup option, but there are times when it’s nearly unavoidable, such as when you’re caught out at a picnic or having a lucky day fishing. While it could be argued that a simple laptop stand should do the trick to keep even the best laptops nice and cool, it might not be enough for more powerful notebooks like gaming laptops, which are known for producing excessive heat. They can benefit from a little external help to cool down their internal systems and operate at full capacity. Most of these laptop cooling pads are simple angled pads that come with a fan or multiple fans to help draw excess heat away from your laptop. ![]() Others have extra features like additional USB ports for charging. Whether you want a kitted out one, something minimalist, or a model that is portable, you'll appreciate how it can help you keep your laptop in tip-top shape - and perhaps even extend the life of your laptop, because overheating is known to cause incremental damage over time to electronic components. We’ve compiled a list of the best laptop cooling pads to make things easier for you. While we haven't exactly tested all of them, we found ones that have gotten rave reviews from verified users. Our top picks of the best laptop cooling pads cater to all needs and budgets, whether you need a powerhouse cooling solution or just something portable to keep your Ultrabook a little more chilled.Ĭooler Master knows cool, you would hope, and the firm’s Notepal is a winner in our books. Using a single large 230mm fan – which is impressively quiet, we might add – it has a fan speed controller, and is designed to pipe ‘optimal airflow’ through your laptop. Indeed, it shifts an impressive amount of air, being rated at 89.8 cubic feet per minute a very effective level of cooling. This device also benefits from a slightly tilted ergonomic design, aiming to give you the best angle to use your notebook’s keyboard, along with nonslip feet for stability when placed on a surface. As an added bonus, there are three USB ports around the back. The Notepal XL is capable of holding laptops up to 17-inches in size, and to cap things off, it’s reasonably priced for the cooling performance you’re getting here. ![]() This product is a very close second to the Kootek, but just loses out on the versatility front. If you can’t find the Kootek outside of the US – in some regions stock seems very thin on the ground – then this is a great alternative for powerful cooling. Okay, so we thought we’d throw this one in at the end as a bit of a wildcard, because while it isn’t a laptop cooling pad as such, it’s a fan-based accessory which does a similar thing (albeit via sucking rather than blowing air). And for those who want a really portable solution, this is a truly compact affair – whereas obviously any laptop cooling pad won’t be all that small, given that they all (inevitably) have a notebook-sized footprint. ![]()
