Final words and conclusion

Vantec offers a very handy and rather small notebook cooling device, which makes a nice companion for any notebook at a very low price, although it lacks many features. Since it is very small, lightweight and easy to transport, it should become a nice accessory in your notebook’s carrying bag. At the very least it will keep your lap from getting burned and expand your notebook’s lifespan. We would like to see more features, such as a speed controller or an USB hub, but as long as the fans are silent and the price tag of the LapCool 3 is smaller than that of a coffee box, it should be ok for most users.

Pros:

• Small and lightweight design
• Aesthetically appealing
• Silent and effective cooler
• Can be used on soft surfaces such as laps or beds
• Great value

• Could have more features like fan control or a even a simple on/off switch
• The paint tends to chip easily, it cannot tolerate much abuse
• Not available in many countries
