Summary: All laptops have the same design fault. The cooling port is blocked off by lap, pillow, rug etc. Cooling Stands help, but not because of their fans. The small "centrifugal fans" necessarily suck in their centre and blow on their perimeter. The CPU fan sucks air from directly beneath up into the laptop and out the sides. A Cooling Stand fan sucks down and sideways from the same space the laptop is trying to suck up. This doesn't help. It takes power and makes noise. However the Stand does solve the real problem but doesn't need the fan to do it. It conveniently and cheaply makes sure the normal laptop cooling air passage is not impeded.
Here's a solution with hobby store materials.

It should be noted that this IS not a review of this laptop cooler by someone who has used it but is from an advocate of a "make yer own outta handy stuff in the garage".
This is great if you are handy with a hacksaw and don't mind making the bottom of your laptop look like a high school shop project. In short, not a very elegant solution.
