Will a 17 inch laptop sit on this cooling riser without being off balance or falling off ?????

The dimensions of the platform are 13" side to side and 11" from the top to the edge of the bottom rest.A 17" laptop would have quite a bit of overhang on each side. I use mine for a 15" laptop and it fits very securely. Hope that helps.

the awe81us 2 "SMALL" fans blow air towards the bottom of the laptop, however they are noisy, at least the two I have are, and are not adequate enough for my 17" laptops. Plus the two laptops slide off the front when tilted up. Says it supports upto 17" laptops, well, they hang off the side and slide down the front, not enough lip or rubber in front to keep in on.

Probably wouldn't balance very well on the lower legs, but it might slide in between them. I have a Toshiba 15.5" laptop that barely fits. But since it just sits there, I can live with it. Otherwise, it's a GREAT product. What you might do, is pick up a piece of plexi-glass, cut it to fit under there, and hot glue it in place. It's an ugly work-around, but it would most likely work. I'm just happy I was able to free up a ton of space on my desk, and raise the monitor up as well.

It's quite sturdy and balanced. I have a 17" MacBook on it, and have never felt any concern about anything falling over. Occasionally I'll use the laptop's keyboard directly when it's on the stand, and it doesn't bounce or shake very much at all.

It sure will. My friend uses it with his 17" lap top. You will have an inch or so on each side hanging off but it is not unstable at all. I've had mine now going on almost 6 years and it is still good to go. Buy it!!

I have used it with a 17". It overhangs the ends, but still sits on and protects your lap from getting hot. It is simple and fits over the laptop for storage and extra protection in my case. I stayed away from the fancy powered models and am glad that I did. Hope this helps.

I rarely find a cooler under $50 for my 17"laptop that fits well. It almost always hangs over. However, considering you only need to cool half of the area of the laptop (hard drive and cpu, mostly), I don't think a full 17" cooler is necessary. As far as this one goes? It's has a 200mm fan - the biggest I've seen in a cooler for this price. 200mm fans are the ones they use in the gaming coolers, so I think this would work. I'm going to get it for my 17", and I'll post a review when I hook it up.

I think the 17.3 laptop will be a little big for it when inclined. The stand will certainly hold it as it is very sturdy. If you won't mind the laptop's frame being slightly bigger than the inclining panel, go for it!

It works for my 17" Toshiba, so I'd say you should be OK. My screen only opens a little past 90 degrees, so I have the Riser set to the lowest angle, and still, it brought the screen up several inches. Much more comfortable angle.

My 17" fit on it, no problem, it just wouldn't hold it up...if I didn't hold onto the legs, it tipped over. Hope this helps!

Very true. My laptop has a rounded front. The low height of the pegs and the weight of the laptop combined leaves the laptop in a very vunerable position. It's slid off a couple of times.

Personally I wouldn't use anything over 17" on this, however my sister uses it sometimes and her computer is 20" and it hasn't fallen over yet. Use at your own risk after 17" though.

It's around 15 inches. I have a 17inch alienware laptop that sits on it with no problems. The fans keep it really cool especially since i game on it for hours at a time. I also use it for my xbox 360 to keep the heat down. I really need to get a second one so i don't have to keep on moving it and when it runs its pretty quiet for having 5 fans. A must have for laptops!

Should be, my 17" laptop fits on there just fine w/about 12-14" left over on the one side.

In general the diagonal measure of the laptop should not matter. My laptop is probably 17 inches or so diagonally and it works fine with this stand. What matters most is if the thickness of the laptop or shape of the case causes instability with the two relatively small "feet" that hold the laptop in place. This is more of concern if you want the laptop at a steep angle because the "feet" flip out about an inch so if your laptop does not have a flat case it could be less stable when at the steeper angles. I simply cut a straw into two small pieces which I put over the feet to make them longer and therefore more stable when I need maximum height for the screen.

17" will fit on it fine, just be sure to make the gap between the two sections as wide as can be when putting it together, you'll need a little more clearance for any USB devices and cables on that side if your using a 17" laptop like i do.. It works nicely tho.

This device does support a larger (17") laptop. The device's movement is dependent on the support underneath the device. Soft tissue, a pillow, or open air will produce movement when typing. How much is dependent on mass. The mass of older 17" laptops is at least 7 to 8 lbs. Movement for these devices is minimal. A 15" laptop or smaller may allow for more movement. The area of the device is quite large. This increases the stability. This device lifts a laptop higher off a lap. The tilt angle Is adjustable (3 settings) and is not extreme. It does have a USB fan. Can the Laptop slide off? YES. If the desire is to get a hot laptop of a lap and have more space for USB devices, this model works very well.
