If laying the cooling pad on my lap will it be comfortable?

As long as you put the legs down on the cooling pad and sit with your legs crossed. I have tried a couple times and after a while it bothers me but I m the type of person that is on the computer for 4-5 hours or more. So if you are doing it for a hour or so it is bearable.

One of the things you would need to concern yourself with is the large fan pulls air from the bottom of the cooler. That would need to be left clear of anything you would be wearing. I usually have one end on a chair arm or keep my knees apart for the opening.

It is not really "fitted" for a lap but i cant imagine it is very uncomfortable. I honestly don't use it like that so this is the best answer in can give you.

Nothing significant. When it comes to heat, there's nothing to worry about unless it is slowing down when it gets hot. There have been times where the laptop has felt slightly hot, but nothing slowed down and it wasn't uncomfortable, so I didn't worry about it. Cooling pads are cheap if you think it'll be an issue. This has been a great laptop for me though.

Absolutely. It is very comfortable. I'm not a small person either. I have never had a sore back or side from sleeping on this pad.

Seems unlikely. If you place it below the cooling fan it would make no difference as the laptop pad works on heat transfer and therefore does not cool air so the fan would simply be blowing air at ambient room temperature. If you lace it above the fan it would block the fan and the passage of air altogether.

This is not a cooling pad. It's a lap desk (basically a flat surface you can put your laptop on and not overheat your LAP). It has a pull out section on the right to put your mouse on with a rubber bumper around it to keep the mouse there. It's a great desk if you sit on the sofa or in bed when working. But it will not cool your laptop. However, it helps to keep the laptop running cool by providing a flat surface versus letting the laptop sit on a bed comforter, which would partially block its cooling vents. If you don't specifically need a cooling pad, this is a great lap desk (see my prior review on Amazon for more info). This is not a cooling pad.

No it will not be uncomfortable. Just unzip the sides. If you don't plan to use it in temps below 50 degrees why don't you buy one that is not rated as low as this one.

No it doesn't. Its the same as sitting in a flat surface. If you angle your laptop onto the wrist rest then that would allow airflow, that's what I do with mine.

Hi, Tommy. I was so happy with the first one I purchased that I bought a second for my wife. It is very light and has kept the computer very cool (without it, the computer got very hot). I have found that it is actually more comfortable when the computer sits on the cooling pad. My only criticism is that the cord that comes with the unit is very short. To compensate for this, I ordered a 9' long male to male usb cable to replace the cable that came with it. I highly recommend this unit (which is made in China).

The company is unlikely to say you can lay on the pad, as there are all those warnings about people who are not sensitive to heat, and people who may lay a small baby on it. I would use my own judgement, and carefully monitor the heat, but enjoy the benefit of laying on it.

Sure. You just set your laptop on top of it so air can circulate around and under it.

I did try putting the tray on my lap and it is quite large but is not uncomfortable. I am rather small though, so in a larger lap it would lay flatter. I would be afraid of knocking it over since its about twice the size of my lap.

This cooling pad comes complete with USB cord and is ready to go. Just so you are aware, This cooling pad is set up for the USB cord to go out the back & plug in the back of your laptop. The cord, which store in the cooling pad when not in use, might not be long enough to run out the back of the pad & reach the side USB port, depending on your laptop, so the cooling pad might sit on the USB cord in order to use the side USB port. It will still work fine either way, but if you have a large laptop it would be best if it had an available USB port in back.

NO. unless you lay on it without any sheets(which i haven't) then it might be cooler, but i doubt it.

It depends I suppose. Like I stated in my comment, my laptop primarily overheats when gaming. Overheats so bad that it actually turns off my laptop, haha.. This cooling pad has definitely ceased that, and it doesn't get as hot as it used to. It still gets warm-hot at certain times though, but I think that's normal for laptops. Other than gaming, it keeps my laptop cool-warm when I browse the internet, or do what I have to do on the computer. So does it effectively cool it? I would say yeah and no, since it depends on what you're doing.

lays flat and is comfortable depending on your movements and size of your lap as with any flat surface piece sitting on your lap

I have not had any issues with the laptop getting too warm to sit on my lap. I rarely use it that way because I find that too uncomfortable for long term use but the unit seems to remain relatively cool even when used for long periods of time. Hope that helps.

Yes. Mine is on a desk and the angle feels just right. I spend a few hours a day on my computer (I'm a teacher) and my hands and arms aren't tired at the end of the day. In the reviews, it sounded like a lot of people where using it on their lap because it's cooler, which means they could move their legs up or down to adjust the angle.
