How wide is this unit and does it cool well enough for a 17" laptop? Thanks in advance ....

Unit is 14 inches wide. My laptop is 17 inches and sits perfectly on this mat. I needed the power cord sold separately to cool properly.

My 17" laptop fits nicely on it. The laptop over laps around an inch on each side. It appears to be cooling the laptop with its two fan.

I bought it for my 17" laptop and it is sufficient. The laptop does hang over each side about an inch but it is not a problem.

I have a 17" laptop & it provides sufficient air from the dual fans to keep the laptop cool enough for my use (gamer) so I am very happy with it. As to the dimension of the unit, it measures (apprx) 250cm deep x 385cm wide or (apprx) 9.5" deep x 14" wide - the laptop overhangs the unit by an inch in total (both edges) but that is no matter because the dual fans are positioned at the correct places i.e. to the fan cowlings, on the laptop. Hope this helps rather than confuses you. I am still happy with this purchase.

The unit is 14 inches wide. It works great for my 15.6 inch laptop an I would assume it would work well for a 17 inch. It has two fans to help circulate the air.

I have a laptop for convenience in traveling rather than the usual use of on my lap, so I cannot speak from routine use. However, to help you decide, I tried it on my lap. I am 5 foot 9 inches tall with legs in proportion to my height. I put the cooler with my Dell Studio XPS 16 with a heavy duty battery (total weight unknown but heavier than the typical unit) laptop ready to type on my lap. The curved part of the cooler rested about 2 inches from the curve in my knee and was not extremely painful, but definitely not comfortable after a few minutes. Additionally, with the cover of the computer open, it seemed slightly unstable. My recommendation is it can be used sitting directly on one's lap, but not for a lengthy period. For table use, I love it. It is so quiet that I periodically put my hand between the cooler and computer to ensure it is still running. The base of my computer is always cool. Feel free to contact me again for any further questions.

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.

If it under 18 inches it will be ok, I use it on a alienware 17 inch laptop and it keeps it cool. It uses 2 usb ports for all 3 fans to work at best cooling.

Not sure on how large maximum (you'll probably want some online tool for that), but my room is about 13 x 16 x 9 ft and this unit does a solid job cooling it.

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!

This cooling pad is 11.5 inches long. My laptop is 15 inches, so it hangs off of the sides by a few inches. Even so, it manages to keep my operating temperatures down. It would probably have much more trouble with a 17 inch laptop. If you're looking for something that covers the whole bottom of you're laptop, look for something bigger.

The laptop platform, at its widest at the front is 21 inches wide. I think your 17" laptop will fit very well. However, there would not be much room to use a mouse, if you need to use one. It's very sturdy but a little top heavy when you move it around. So I weighted the bottom shelf with some sand.

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 measured the width and it's 20.5 inches. Some people might have measured it diagonally. I use my 15.6" laptop on it and it works fine. I wouldn't use a larger laptop on it, because it would hang too far over the mouse pad area. I hope that helps.

Hi Caroline, This lapdesk does not have anything that will cool a laptop. It is a solid piece of heavy duty plastic (no vent holes). You will still need a fan. It does have a large surface area to work on so you do not have to worry about space at all. Also, It has pockets and cushioning underneath that make it very confortable. Hope this helps.

my laptop is 13.5 inches across and fit on the fan just fine. I'm not sure of the exact dimensions of the fan. You could check with the distributor.

I have a 17 inch and love the backpack. It is nicely padded and I can fit my cooling fan. Highly recommend. :)

Airflow is fine, I can cool a high end GPU (GTX680) and OC my i7 to 4.4Ghz if I want and it keeps temperatures acceptable. The door was well thought out, and there is enough space not to limit the fan. The only thing of note is that, one of the openings of the door is more "open" then the other for air flow. That "open" end you will want to face away from where you are sitting, or else the noise you perceive from sitting at the desk will go up.
