this isn't a BAD product, but it is still a rip-off There simply isn't enough materials/workmanship that went into this to justify the cost - it's a square of plastic with rubber pads on top - that's it, no more, no less. I trusted the scores of positive reviews here on Amazon, and I got burned. If it cost what it should, $12.99 all told, it'd be worth it.
Rating: - I wanted to like it, but...
after reading so many positive reviews, against my own better judgment i decided to give Xpad a try. bottom line is it doesn't keep me cool nor does it keep my laptop cool. i recorded temps for my laptop without any cooling device, and with the Xpad and there is virtually no difference. as for keeping your lap cool, forget it. the Xpad itself simply absorbs the heat, right onto your lap. i've used Targus and Belkin USB fan units and they do work better, but are made very cheap and don't last. ...

I got an xpad for my macbook pro. As far as keeping heat from my lap it works, which is why it gets one star. The problem is that a blanket or book can also do this.

And that reminds me, the xpad is almost thicker than my notebook so unless you are using a briefcase ... Read More
Rating: - Does its job, but some things to consider first
This product does its job - keeping my laptop from A) overheating so easily and B) cooking my lap when it is hot. However, it's not quite large enough to be intended for use with 17" screen laptops like mine. I use it anyway, but my laptop hangs over the edges and needs readjusting sometimes. Also, the top and sides are made of plastic, while the bottom is dense foam-like material; the problem lies in the boundary between the materials. The foam compresses, leaving you with a thin plastic edge digging ... Read More

Just got my Xpad today...love it! My legs are no longer "french fries". You save $$$ & time, no battery drain or use of electricity. It is very comfortable in my lap and laptop doesn't slide around as the alternative use of my pillow. During the summer heat it's a dream come true. Staying COOL in Bothell, WA!!
