Product Description
The Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand prevents your laptop from overheating. The unique patented wave design uses natural convection to enhance fan cooling. This stand has low power consumption via your laptop's USB port with no bulky power adapters.
Amazon.com Product Description
If you own a laptop, you know all about heat. Because today's notebooks rely on fast processors to do the job, they generate a lot of heat, with much of it landing directly in your lap. Some laptops can have a "normal" operating temperature as high as 120 degrees Fahrenheit! Not only is that unsafe and uncomfortable, it can also wear your laptop down, cause it to crash unexpectedly, and reduce its overall life expectancy. 
The Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand is designed to cradle your laptop in cooling comfort. | 
Now you can be more comfortable while you work. | 
A single high-capacity fan, which is powered by a USB port on your laptop, sits in the middle of the cooling stand. View larger. | 
Hot air is channeled out to the left and right sides of your laptop. View larger. | 
The USB cable is neatly tucked away in a storage compartment on the bottom. View larger. | Belkin's Laptop Cooling Stand relies on a patented wave design and ergonomic features that will not only help protect your laptop by keeping it cool, but will also increase your comfort while you work. As part of Belkin's laptop@home line of accessories, the Laptop Cooling Stand is designed to help you to take full advantage of the benefits your laptop has to offer-- comfortably, economically, and stylistically. Twice the Cooling Power, Half the Consumption
In contrast to most other laptop coolers that use two fans to suck warm air from the laptop's bottom, the Belkin's Laptop Cooling Stand relies on the natural flow of heat and air circulation to do the hard work and needs only one fan to do the trick. Instead of drawing the laptop heat down to push it out, the stand takes full advantage of natural air flow and heat's natural tendency to rise by pushing the hot air upward through the channel and away from your laptop. The single high-capacity fan, powered by a USB port on your laptop, sits in the middle of the cooling stand, and hot air is channeled out to the left and right sides of your laptop. The result is heat dissipation that's equal to a two-fan solution but that uses less than half the power. And because the fan is USB-powered, you won't have any bulky batteries or adapters (which can also both add heat!) to weigh you down. You simply place your laptop on the stand, pull the USB cable out of the convenient storage compartment, and plug it into your computer. The stand will take care of the rest. Computing in Comfort and Style
Measuring 12.6 x 11.6 x 1 inches (W x D x H), the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand is designed for 15.4-inch or smaller laptops. To prevent slippage, the stand features rubber pads on the feet, and a small plastic panel folds out from the bottom of the stand that elevates the rear for better ergonomics. The gentle slope reduces wrist strain, and by raising the screen height, it also reduces neck strain that is common to laptop users. Unlike the industrial gray and metallic appearance of other cooling stands, the Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand offers an attractive, gently sloped look that you'll be proud to show off as you work. The stand's thin profile means that you can easily slide the stand into your notebook bag as you travel from meeting to meeting, or café to café. And weighing a mere 22 ounces, you'll hardly notice that it's in your bag.

 Very shoddy and noisy August 17, 2008
Much like the review by Phyllis Staff (Dallas, Texas USA), the cooler lasted only a few months before the port for the connector disappeared and left it useless. Not that it was much use before then anyway.
I think it worked well for about a month and a half and then the fan was just so incredibly loud - I was somewhat relieved when the thing finally died all together a month later.
Just a real piece of crap.
Plus the fan is just located in the middle, and the hot spots on my laptop are on the edges.
I now have the Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler and it is so much nicer. The air covers the entire area under the laptop and it is quiet as a mouse.
 Been using two a few weeks now and one is very noisy August 17, 2008
This notebook cooler seems a little on the flimsy/cheap end. I've been using two of them for a few weeks. One of them has already started being very noisy. Not pleasant! The other one is in a more noisy environment but it is quieter (but definitely no where near silent - it's still noisier than I'd like). I am concerned about how long these units will last. I also think there should be at least two fan speed settings, like low and high.
Solid August 12, 2008
Solid design. Nice sleek white, much different from the run of the mill silver looking stands. Sits comfortably in the lap, and has a good height on a table or desk. I keep the kick stand out, keeps the keep board at nice angle for typing. Perfect size for my laptop (MACBOOK PRO), which can get really hot and the fans can get really loud, still trying to figure out why that is. Either way the fan is pretty quiet, much more quiet than my laptop's. Have not experienced that reported smell in the video review about the rubber stops on the top so that's good.
Thus far, it has been very effective at maintaining a low fan speed, especially when I'm running multiple apps, however I have noticed that the temp of my CPU remains rather high, but others like the battery, enclosure bottom and heatsinks remain relatively low. All in all, a solid product; I would recommend.
Good looking design but big flaws August 9, 2008

Smart curved design with anti slip pads is great.
Then
- Fan is quite noisy
- Could use a Hi-low switch
- USB plug increase wear on computer power supply (couldn't find the wattage for that fan...)
- The back Support(riser) that flips open is very flimsy! and uncomfortable when in my lap.
- Added openings in the curved bottom of the cooler would have alleviated constant use of the fan and save its apparently unreliable motor (see other people's review) by improving static cooling.

This is my second Belkin Stand from Amazon. the first one I received lasted 2 hours only. I emailed Amazon.com and they were very nice and said to return it and they would replace it free within 30 days. Amazon actually had the new one here before I sent off the broken one. The replacement is working just fine and i've had it now for about 3 weeks. They had emailed me a prepaid postage return label to send the first one back. it was a smooth transaction. This is my first cooling stand of any kind so i have nothing to compare it to but I love this one..It does a great job of keeping things cool.
