My laptop is prone to overheating, will it vent properly with this product?

This mount is relatively slender with very slender brackets that hold the computer in place. The main base is not solid and has a place to mount a fan. I beleive this mount is perfect to allow your computer to breathe

It's difficult to say because it depends on which laptops. If you are able to take the bottom plate off of your laptop then yes. But if you're just blowing into the vents then really you're blowing the dust into your computer and potentially causing more harm than good. You need to take it apart to a point where you can get the duster inside pointing outward if you want a good dusting.

Although this foam quieted my machine considerably, unless you're going to cover all vent openings in your case (which would probably lead to overheating), a noise that you're already keenly aware of like that coil whine will likely not be silenced enough for you. I agree with the previous commenter; it sounds like you need a new graphics card.

It will. I had a little less than 1.4tb left on the drive. No idea about over heating but I have not had any issues.

Nothing significant. When it comes to heat, there's nothing to worry about unless it is slowing down when it gets hot. There have been times where the laptop has felt slightly hot, but nothing slowed down and it wasn't uncomfortable, so I didn't worry about it. Cooling pads are cheap if you think it'll be an issue. This has been a great laptop for me though.

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.

My computer has never overheated while in this case; however, it does get fairly hot sometimes. I'd say that it gets just as hot as it normally does when I am working on my computer. Usually when I work on my computer, the bottom of my laptop is on a blanket, a pillow in my lap, or the bed anyway; not very airy. Gotta love those late night school assignments :)

I'm not sure what you are asking here. Why would a fan mess up your laptop? It works as expected and keeps the laptop cool. Perhaps that answers your question.

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

yes. I got it for my son. he loves it. Keeps the laptop cooled off so it doesn't overheat.

It should be really quiet, even when on high perf. Make sure not to block bottom vents with blanket or so on. In worse case download the laptop heat meter and test it.

The laptop has a powerful fan and blows all the heat out on the left side, so of course try no to keep it covered when it's on. I was at first worried the heat would affect the power cord that is not too far from the heat source, but the actual power cord is surprisingly cool despite that; it has worked well without an additional cooler but it wouldn't hurt to get one. My room has two fans so just in case I keep them on especially when I game. My gaming performance hasn't been affected at all and I play WoW on the High settings. But if you just surf the internet and use basic stuff it doesn't produce much heat at all.

This laptop desk is not a fan, and it never was advertised as such...It is designed to disperse the heat from the laptop before it reaches your lap..I have had no problems with heat buildup since i purchased it...

The fan is actively cooling, vented would just passively allow heat to escape (and I think the aluminum should conduct some heat as well??). Depending on how hot your laptop gets I'd go with the fan. I'm really happy I did - I have an older macbook which gets really hot. It stays considerably cooler and quieter with the fans on (just plug the cord into a USB port) compared to with the fans off. The fans are not loud at all either.Price seems to be the same (and at this time both are 40% off) for the vented and fan one, I'd go with the fan. You can always disconnect or even remove the fans to transform it into a vented one.

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

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.

This lapdesk does not have any ventilation ports. There are also no fans. But the surface is firm, so it would be no different than placing your laptop on a table. Your laptop should have enough gap between the laptop and the lapdesk to provide ventilation.
