Using a popular business laptop, the Lenovo ThinkPad T60, we put the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand to the test by running CNET Labs' grueling Multitasking test on the system and recording the CPU temperature.
Running the test without the laptop desk, the CPU got as hot as 80.8 degrees. After a cool-down period, we ran the test again, this time with the laptop sitting on the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand. The highest temperature recorded during the second test was 75 degrees, a solid decrease and virtually indistinguishable from our two other leading laptop coolers, the passive Xpad Laptop Desk and the dual-fan Antec Notebook Cooler.
