This review is from: New Adjustable Computer Laptop Desk Bed Table Desk W/ Drawer (Kitchen)

I love everything about this table. It is so helpful for when am in my bed or couch using my computer. The part that holds my netbook is just high enough for me to write comfortably while using my computer. The material is solid as far as i can tell, and believe me after a few earlier tables who even broke before i received them, this is very sturdy.

The only downside for me so far is the legs height. A few more inches would have been perfect for me. Right now i have to sometimes lower my head to read the netbook screen. This problem is probably for netbook users, since laptops have usually bigger or higher screens.

This review is from: New Adjustable Computer Laptop Desk Bed Table Desk W/ Drawer (Kitchen)

Received the item to give to my daughter for Christmas and was extremely disappointed. Only the top part of the laptop desk is stained, polished, and varnished. The bottom part of the desk is just unfinished wood. My daughter caught a splinter from the unfinished work. The desk also shows signs of some type of mildew smearing which is horrible.

Spoke with the company regarding information and they said they would refund the money once I submitted photos showing proof of damage. I sent the photos and the company reniged on refunding my money until I send the product back. Now I have to pay further shipping costs to send back this item days before Christmas.

I highly don't recommend any further business with this company. A company who says one thing and takes it back is not trustworthy of their word or their products.

This review is from: New Adjustable Computer Laptop Desk Bed Table Desk W/ Drawer (Kitchen)

Pros - It's well designed (i.e. adjustments for thigh height book angle). My wife likes it a lot for propping up her books in bed while breastfeeding the new baby. Top surface is smooth and well varnished. It even has a drawer in the side.

Cons - The material is pine, which wouldn't be so bad, but there are many knots and the lower surfaces were not sealed. There was an incredible amount of sap or pine resin covering the lower parts of the device. It was really sticky and has to be cleaned before you can use it. Some of the cuts made in the factory on the lower pieces, (i.e. notches to hold the angle of the book) were not clean and properly post-process sanded.

You get a little bit more than what you paid for here. To make this device out of higher grade wood, professional cuts, have it sanded, stained & sealed would have added considerably to the cost & weight. I thought about making this kind of thing by hand, but it would have taken a while and wouldn't have been as well designed and adjustable as is this device. I think it was money reasonably spent for a short term needed device (i.e., until the baby can go the night without feeding). But, if you want a laptop reading device to go the long haul, consider something made with higher quality components.

This is a very well made cooling fan for your laptop. However, if you have a 15.4" screen your laptop will hang off of it about an inch on both sides, 17" is about an inch and a half on both sides. Is that a problem? No, not really. You want air circulation underneath to cool. The 3 fans are great. Most cooling boards have only 2. An earlier reviewer said he didnt like it because the back was "open". Well that reduces the weight and increases air circulation. It is well designed in my opinion. The on/off switch is nice. It will only work of course if the laptop is running. You will never forget to turn it off. It runs amazingly quiet. You cant hear it but you can feel it. It is really meant to keep the battery cool and help the heatsink fan. A cooler working battery will last longer. It has a good angle to work. I really havent found anything wrong with it. I highly recommend this item, however, if I was to make a suggestion to improve it, it would be to add a couple of usb ports to it.

I'm happy, and i'm the 5th review of this product., May 8, 2007

This review is from: USB Powered and Most Efficient Metal Cooler Pad with 3 Built-in Fans for Laptop Computer (Electronics)

(Original Reveiew - May 2007)
OK, i read all kinds of reviews about these cooling fans. I have a Dell Inspiron 9300 (17" ultrawidescreen) so I knew already this wouldn't fit like a glove. But ever since I upgraded my hard drive and memory, the machine runs really, and I mean REALLY hot. Also, because my memory is located at the underside dead center, I needed a fan to be positioned right there to help in protecting my $300 of RAM. This product did it. My memory temperature is, still warm, but not HOT. I also bought this because of the form factor. Since it is on a pretty durable aluminum painted stand, it is pretty steady, and the open back, oh well, that's the way it is made, and for a good reason, better airflow (the fans have cage protectors). But really, when I toiled over all the other models I read about and then saw this one, I couldn't help but think... 'and if one of the fans burn out, I can just unscrew it and add a new one'. That was the main selling point for me, next to durability. This way I can take this somewhat pricey (cause there's nothing to it) but efficient unit and repair it if needed. My goal was to cool my laptop on my desk, not win the 'red carpet' award for fashion. Again, under my giant Dell 17 wide-body notebook, I can't even see it. As far as noise level, cause everyone likes to talk about it... It sounds like your laptop fan when it is starting to push the heat out under tremendous load. I mean, you got 3 fans under there, they are going to make some noise, but trust me it is bearable and not annoying.

So, as reviewer #5 at Brilliant Store's site for this Aluminum Cooler Pad with 3 Built-In Fans, I give it a 4 out of 5. The only reason for the 4 is because the Chinese manufacturer really could have spent another $1 by putting a back cover on this thing with very little effort, and the cost to you and me would probably still be the same. They probably could have saved money on the fan finger protectors and put it into a single piece of aluminum with lots of holes. But I'm happy.

I hope this information helps.

Flash Forward to JANUARY 2008......
The unit is still working perfectly. My computer is so happy when it is attached. When it is not, it gets hot, really hot! Hope that update helps.

Comment on Panasonic VIERA TC-L32C5 32-Inch 720p LCD TV by Tim

Not the Cheapest Bargain TV, but a Safe Bet., May 5, 2012

Tim (Central Coast California) -

This review is from: Panasonic VIERA TC-L32C5 32-Inch 720p LCD TV (Electronics)

Search for 32" 720p TVs on amazon or anywhere on the web. There is a bunch of them ranging from around $200 to up to over $400. This one price wise sits right in the middle, so we would expect it to be average in the bunch so I will grade it as such. Every bargain TV has similar picture quality so don't waste time trying to find an advantage there. Things that will change are TV depth, connection, extra hardware/software, and how pretty/ugly it looks from the front.
The TV depth is pretty thick on this one, but you would be hard pressed to find a TV in the range that is not. Westinghouse does make a 32" thinner TV at around 2' think that sells for sub $300, but I can not recommend a Westinghouse TV due my experiences with there bad quality. That being said this TV falls as we expect with a average size and therefore passes.
The connection on this TV do not really disappoint me personally. I know people like to run everything with HDMI these days, but I couldn't honestly desire to hook up more that one maybe two devices to this TV. I see this device TV as useful in like a kids room, home gym, sports bar, etc. I would think this would be a good centerpiece for a living room with your bluray player, surround sound, PS3 and Wii connected to it. If that is what you want then look else where as this TV will not work for that. I do consider its connectivity average, although I know some other budget TVs were nice enough to throw a 3 HDMI on there enormous backsides.
This TV, in my opinion does succeed in its availability of extra hardware/software. It does have the somewhat helpful game mode if that is your intended use. It also has a more usable usb than most budget TVs and does a good job of receiving photos, videos and music. It also has many eco features, but these I find less appealing. The worst is the auto dimming, which may save you $5 bucks a year, but is annoying. On expensive TVs these auto dimming features can work mostly unnoticed, but with these budget TV it seems to jump down or up in brightness and you find yourself adjusting your eyes to the new screen light. This can of course be turned off which I would recommend. Overall above average here.
This TV is not as attractive looking as you would expect a big brand to be. The budget Samsung and LG TVs look pretty decent in my opinion, but this one missed out. As the TV unit is visible whenever it is on or off I find this fact kind of disappointing.
Overall why three stars? This TV is fine by all means, and a great price if you want a safer brand name budget TV. I don't know if you would want to spend the extra $50-100 to get a thinner better looking TV, but you may want to consider it for long term satisfaction. My personal preference, and the one I took was to spend almost $100 less and get a equally bulky and ugly budget TV from a less known brand. The savings there was why I can not give this average performing TV four stars.

Cons over previous L32C3 model:
Less speaker power
Larger Bezel
No IPS panel

Pro over previous L32C3 modle:
It is cheaper to make and therefore cheaper to purchase.

A "Cool" Little Device, April 4, 2007

K. M. Burright (Laramie, WY) -

This review is from: USB Powered and Most Efficient Metal Cooler Pad with 3 Built-in Fans for Laptop Computer (Electronics)

Update: Well, I've had this over a year now and it's been running 24/7. One of the fans gets a little erratic and there's more vibration than at first. I could probably stand to clean it more often than I do, but honestly, considering all the abuse I put it through and how well it still continues to run, it is an awesome little machine. I highly recommend it.

After being disappointed with the Antec (terrible output) and Targus (flimsy and falls apart after two weeks) cooling pads, I was feeling like I was taking a chance on yet another cooling mat. The two reviews here seemed to like it, but those were the only reviews I found. But I must say so far I'm pleased with this one.

The output is strong and I like that it has a third center fan (that's where most of the heat comes out of my laptop). The frame is designed for a lot of ventilation, something the Targus and Antec failed miserably at. The USB power cord isn't removable, so if that ever gets damaged, most people will have to replace the whole unit. It's a bit short, but at least not as short as the Antec's cord.

It has a couple of weaknesses that also double as strengths, which is kind of odd. I wish it had a closed back so I can use it on my lap better (though a book works fine) and the power cables running to the fans could easily be cut in my current home office setup. It's not as easy to slip into a computer case as closed-back pads are, mostly for the risk of breaking the wires.

However, the advantage to an open-backed system is it would be easy to repair if any of the fans were damaged. This cooling pad is nothing more than three standard computer fans and a switch on a specialized aluminum frame (I bet all the money went into the frame). Anyone with even a marginal skill at household repair would be able to easily replace the fans or switch. They're just screwed into the frame. The frame itself is really the true innovation and even without the fans would be a great pad for a laptop with the abundance of air circulation it promotes. The frame is also very sturdy and would take a lot of effort to destroy past usability.

Overall I'd have to give this a four. It's the USB cord that really knocks a star down. I can't see how it's connected to the fans (there's a protective sheath over it) and I'm not about to take it apart until I need to, but I don't like that the cord can't be unplugged from the cooling unit. It has potential for the fans and wires to be damaged, but it really depends on where you use it. My situation is more chaotic than most and someone using it just on a desk or other flat surface will probably have no trouble at all. And since it's assemblage means very easy repair, I can't count the open back as a disadvantage.

If this lasts longer than the Targus (ha!) and continues to have strong fan output, I'll consider it a definite success.

Laptop Buddy, May 10, 2011

This review is from: Laptop Buddy Gray Cushion Desk with Pen and Cup Holder 72-698005 (Personal Computers)

I ordered the laptop buddy so that I could stop burning my thighs when I sit with the laptop away from my desk. It definitely does that. No problem. I have a larger laptop so I am unable to use the cup and pen holder but that's not too big of a deal. The problem is that the heat from the laptop is already bubbling the surface of the laptop buddy. I don't know what's underneath the thin coating but I'm sure it won't be long before I find out. It started to bubble after just 1 hour of use. Other than that, it does exactly what I needed it to do.

I just bought my HP Pav DM4-1160 and immediately looked for some protection for it so that i get no scratches.

LUCKILY, i came across this hard shell case! The variety of colors they offer and good pricing as well.

I ordered it immediately last week and received it early this week! I wasn't expecting it until another week according to the estimate delivery dates given, I was excited!

I snapped it onto my laptop with such ease and began using it immediately!

Thank you!
