Getting the Right 17 Inch Notebook Cooler

By IK JohnsonNotebooks come in different makes, shapes and sizes. There are laptops, notebooks and Macs. Some are large with 17 inch screens while some are average with 15 inch screens or smaller. Most notebooks have the common problem of the computer becoming too hot, compromising performance and making it difficult to use the laptop on your lap, where it really belongs.

To keep your notebook cool and be able to use it on your lap without getting heat burn and overheating your unit, it is advisable to use a laptop cooling pad. Notebook pads come in a variety of shapes and sizes, just like notebook computers.

To invest in a lap pad it is important you have an idea of the size that will be ideal for your computer. 15 inch laptops are more affordable than 17 inch screen laptops and therefore, there are more 15 inch screen laptops in the market. This discrepancy also shows up in lap pads, with more lap pads made for 15 inch notebooks than 17 inch units.

You can use a lap pad made for 15 inch laptops, for smaller computers like netbooks too, but not for a 17 inch screen laptop. This is because the left and right edges of the laptop tend to spill out at the sides and with prolonged use the purpose of heat dissipation is defeated as the heat will still get to your lap.

However, a lap pad made for computers with 17 inch screens have more versatile use for the following reasons:-

- They give you more leg room so your knees are not locked together

- You can use it with a 17 inch laptop and anything below

- The 17 inch pads have a wider base and therefore provide more support for your notebook

- And students can use for other purposes like a lap table for their books

Just like every popular product in the market there are many varieties out there making it tough to decide on which one that is ideal for your laptop and the activities you engage in. For example, game players need a lap pad that will keep their laptop cool and be comfortable for them as they spend hours with their laptop on their lap.
