will it cool 12" thinkpad with left side vents?

We have a 17" version of the cooling pad, and it fits our 17" laptop perfectly. I think you'd want to go smaller with a 15" cooling veny. I saw those when we were looking for ours.

It will blow cool air to the bottom of the system (system should have some sort of "intake" vent somewhere on the bottom - side vents would be exhaust/air blowing out) even if it doesn't have a vent on the bottom, the cooler pad should help cool the battery pack and the external housing for the hard drive (bringing down the temperature of the system). Hope this helps.

Naturally you want to keep air flow circulating through the vents, if you're laptop vent is towards the bottom of your laptop I'd say that would be ideal for a more centered point of air flow instead of half's of two fans. If you can center it go for it, if not the difference of air flow is minor.

Sloping downward toward you is the correct position. You don't need to worry about location of vents on your laptop if there are some tiny vents beneath your laptop covering the HDD and RAM unit. As long as air can flow through these areas your laptop will be cool.

I use it for a 17" laptop and I only use the center fan. With all 5 running I would expect it to work to keep a 25" cooler.

Yes it does , I tried my wife's 18 inch toshiba on it and it even had about an inch left on the left and right side. It's designed for up to 19inch. Even states on the box 19inch. Best cooler I ever purchased. Only think is it's pretty loud at high speed so I changed the fans to noctua fans, same cooling at half the noise. Well the default fans are only heard in a quiet room at night .

I have the dell 17" laptop i7 processor and it run very hot. When I purchased the Cooler master my laptop bottom is always cool. The air flow direct blow to the bottom of my laptop. The led lighting is shine to the bottom of the desk. It only noticeable when at dark. You don't really need to clean the fan, unless you see the dust build-up then clean both top & bottom surface of the housing with the Swiffer Cleaning Wipes (with Electrostatic charged).

The cooling portion is in the middle, so I don't see it being an issue. The main problem that you'll have is your laptop will certainly be larger, over the sides of the base. Mine is a 15" and it hangs over a little bit. As long as that doesn't bother you, it should be fine.

Yes. Just be sure to clean off the default thermal paste/pad on the cooling block before applying it.

Yes. It stays very cool on the bottom so it does not become too hot on the lap. The rubber grips on the pad help keep the laptop from sliding off the pad when you have it at slight angle on your lap.

If the vent is on the back side, it should be fine. If the vent is downward (i.e. facing the table), then it may be a problem depending upon your laptop size.

Seems to work just fine with my old (ca. 2005) Lenovo laptop .... which indeed shoots how air from a vent on the left side.

I'm assuming you meant "fit" rather than "fix". The cooling pad is exactly 15" to he same width as my laptop. Yours would hang over a fraction of an inch on either size which shouldn't be too much of a problem.

well the product is 17-12-12. sounds like your putting it in some kind of enclosure. this thing has 2 fans in the back for cooling. its 12 inches high and 12 wideyour going to want to leave about 3 inches of clearance on top and 3 on each side at least. this thing has to be able to cool it self off and you really dont want to get in the way of that. leave at least 6 inches of room in the back where the fans are for cooling.

The cooling pad is generous, but it is not designed for a mouse. If you look closely at the image, the mesh is for free air movement. You might want to go with one that has solid surface space on the sides. Remember, however, that you are then sacrificing cooling ability. My laptop's fan is on the far side, so I had to have this full mesh set-up. The mouse issue is not really that important to me since I usually work it farther off to the side to avoid repetitive motion injuries.

fan is quite, but not has enough power to cool laptop. I have a dell latitude 6410 using this cooler and it is not much help.

It will work very well because the Cooler Master NotePal material is a kind of mesh that allows air to go through. So once the vent is anywhere on the bottom of the laptop it was work pretty well.

I am pretty sure it will, you can use it either with the fans on or off, it has an aluminum surface to help disperce the heat., plus if there is an air intake at the bottom, you will be giving your laptop even more fresh air. Hope this was of any help
