Will this work for laptops with air intake at the bottom and exhaust at the back & side?

Yes it will, in fact I'm pretty sure that's what it's designed for. The fans (2) are located on the top of the "platform" you set the laptop on, so the air blows upward. It works reasonably well unless it's a really hot day and I'm watching YouTube videos, then it still overheats and shuts down.I should add, however, that my cooling fan no longer works at all, so if your fan works but just isn't cooling it enough, it should work really well.

I am pretty sure it will, you can use it either with the fans on or off, it has an aluminum surface to help disperce the heat., plus if there is an air intake at the bottom, you will be giving your laptop even more fresh air. Hope this was of any help

Yes it should really work well I use it for a mac book pro late model 2008 the chill mat works at low and high speeds.

Seems to work just fine with my old (ca. 2005) Lenovo laptop .... which indeed shoots how air from a vent on the left side.

It draws air up through the units fan to blow onto your laptops fan. My problem was this unit's fan is in the center and my lap top has it's fan to the left. While it did cool my lap top down a couple of degree's it was not nearly as effective as other unit's I have had.

No it won't work well. The intake and exhaust tubes the unit come with won't be long enough to turn vertically.

From my review: I have 2 ASUS RoG Laptops, identical in size and weight for the most part. BOTH fit inside! With room to spare, I would not recommend it, just saying it can be done. As far as fitting one in the sleeve on the back comfortably? It fits but only if you put the exhaust fan side to the left looking at the backpack. Rear fan exhaust on the RoG needs to go to the left and it will slide in smoothly and slide out just as easily. The zippers will even close pretty easily. Those zippers sure are nice. And it locks it in tight, no room for shaking. I like a snug fit.

Yeah it should be fine. Its a little bigger then a standard so it will naturally lift off whatever surface ur laptop is on, increasing airflow underneath

A 17 inch laptop would overlap the thing by a couple inches on either side, and so the cooling fan may not really be effective---

Hi J.Carrol, the side fans are 120mm. There are two fans locations, so you can put 2 120mm fans. Since they are not filtered, I would suggest using them as exhaust fans or you will pull dust into the system. If you get a filter that covers the area, then use the fans as an intake. The case comes as a negative pressure setup. I changed my case to a positive pressure setup. I also had custom filters made and now use the top 200mm fan as an intake and everything exhaust out the rear now. The case is great, however, I never like the fans on the side. I replaced my side window. Here is a video I did showing that in case you ever get interested. I personally think it looks better without the side fans. The system is much much quieter now also. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNVp0_7dy4Y

Apart from possible stability issues, e.g., the rubber feet are attached to the (horizontal) bottom, there should be no problems. Cooling air flows from along the front/back axis, so that should work fine.

I am using it on my 17" laptop but my laptop hangs 2" over on both sides. This fan does not put out enough airflow to keep my computer even close to cool. If i had to do it agian i would not buy this fan for my computer.

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.

There are two 80mm fan mounts for the bottom half of the case. They are intended to exhaust air, but you could turn the fans around and draw air in. The fans would point straight at one of the drive bays.

The laptop has inlet vents on the bottom and exhaust vents on the top, so any air you pump into the bottom will increase the flow through all of the pathways. That's just how the laptop is designed. This has one large fan I the middle, which will definitely force enough air through to make a difference in all sections of the laptop.

Hello there..It is always preferable to put rear fans blowing out. But be sure you are creating a single air flow direction. You may not need intake fans and create enough negative air pressure within the case that air will enter through any other openings, but it's also preferable to put filtered intake fans with more capacity than the outlet fans so you always keep the dust where it should be and a fresh computer case.

I use it with a Dell tower - fan is in the back. Not sure about a fan/vent on the bottom.

Not sure my laptop is 15 inches but since the fans are on the corners it might work.

That would work fine. Just make sure you feel which way the fan is blowing and turn it on the appropriate side to blow down.

Sloping downward toward you is the correct position. You don't need to worry about location of vents on your laptop if there are some tiny vents beneath your laptop covering the HDD and RAM unit. As long as air can flow through these areas your laptop will be cool.
