Is this an exhaust or blower? Does it pull heat away from the laptop, or blow air toward the bottom?

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but there are 3 little fans on the bottom that basically take heat away from the bottom of your computer. It works very well. It looks super cheap like it wouldn't work but after many months, still working great. If I turn it on when my computer is hot, it cools down within about 5 minutes.

It blows the air toward the laptop. I'm not sure how it works beacause the ambient air isn't all that cool/cold, but it does seem to work fairly well for me. My LT hasn't heated up since I started using it, but it was having a slight problem before.

The fans blow toward the laptop. Most laptops take the air in from the bottom, which is where the fans circulate the blowing air.

System , somewhere in the case , probably where air isnt directly hitting it . CPU , on/near heatsink (dont let it get too near the fan .HDD - ?????????? I just have this one in my system as well ...

Yes, it definitely is both. It is slightly louder than the fan in your laptop. I have run it for hours with no problem. I give this laptop platform very high marks.

Not a fan at all. I don't remember it stating it was a fan. May have said to the effect it "cools" the laptop. Which it does via ventilation holes. My wife has had it now for a few years and uses it for her 13" Macbook Air, she seems completely satisfied with it.

There is a vent on the left side, and it can get warm when running heavy applications, but it doesn't overheat on the bottom or top. A good computer will get warm when running applications. When surfing, it stays pretty cool. It's much better than an HP or Compaq I have.

it's only a fan. It will blow whatever temperature air from the area you place it in. The movement of air will feel cooler then stationary air.

This laptop desk is not a fan, and it never was advertised as such...It is designed to disperse the heat from the laptop before it reaches your lap..I have had no problems with heat buildup since i purchased it...

I have a Core i7 laptop which does heat up, there is a slight gap between the surface of the lapdesk and the laptop. It allows the heat to dissipate as there is air flow underneath.

I have two of the double fans (total of four fans) mounted at the top of a closed closet (3ft wide, 7 ft tall) which houses our computer servers and security system hardware. I reversed the mounting on the fans so they are exhaust, blowing the air out of the closet. There is about a 1 to 1 1/2 inch gap at the bottom of the doors where air can be drawn in. The idea is hot air rises and is exhausted while cooler air is pulled in at the bottom. This seems to be working quite well over the past month or so since the install.

It pushes air directly onto the card through the heatsink and heat pipes. There is no reason to exhaust the air. Your case should exhaust the air that is circulating.

Not at all... the air flow is minimal. I would guess its primary use would be to cool electronic components by placing it on top with the exhaust facing rearward.

Hopefully, you have air slots or vents in the hotter components. If you have air vented slots on the sides and bottom, mount the fan below, if you have vented slots on the top, mount the fan unit above to draw the heat away.If you have room in the rack to space the components from each other, that is best. It is a little noisy, but works well. If you can, put the fan closest to your most critical component that is effected by heat

I don't think it was designed like a laptop where there is no fan speed at all until the processor reaches a certain temperature. Mine runs all the time as well, but quiet with no load, louder with a load. The fan speed change is immediate too which shows to me it is load driven, not temperature driven.

The air flow is blowing at the laptop and the light range only defines the location of the base of cooler. The fan is easy to clean simply lift the mesh screen.The fan makes a slight humming sound. I'm quite happy overall and I would recommend it.

It's a fan. It sucks the air on one side (the side that the laptop sits on) and blows the air out the other direction. This chill mat is fantastic! Just saying...

The exhaust fan pulls 110 cm (cubic feet per min) which is better than most fans on the market. It is very quiet. It needs to be properly ducted. Perhaps you are talking about the heater fan which blows air towards you which is heated. MM
