Watch on YouTubeXpad Slim Review
Posted by Steve Laser on Jun 08, 2009 | Comments
In January of 2008 I had the pleasure to review the Xpad for Laptop, a nonslip laptop cooler and heatshield, and I have used it ever since. As you know, laptops get mighty hot – up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit - and uncomfortable sitting on your lap. The Xpad for Laptop, as I said in my previous review, works like this: “The legs of the “X” shape are raised slightly above the base of the unit, allowing airflow...

"Kinda Cool" … but certainly "Kinda Odd"!
Posted by Jack Cook on May 09, 2008 | Comments
With my recent trip to Seattle I was perplexed as to how I would take all that I wanted. Usually I try to “go light” on long trips but I had a need to carry a few more items this time so I ended up carrying two gear bags along with my luggage. I suppose I could have packed “stuff” in my luggage but you hear those stories of folks finding things missing when they arrive at their destination. ...

Xpad4Laptop Review
Posted by Steve Laser on Jan 12, 2008 | Comments
Hot!
Holy cow, my laptop gets mighty hot. Laptops don’t employ such effective cooling methods as desktops, thus the whole bottom acts as sort of a radiator, dissipating heat. According to their website, laptops can give off 130 degrees Fahrenheit of heat and more. That is hot. I’ve tried many solutions to block the heat, but none so effective as the Xpad4Laptop.
