How does it keep the laptops cool?

It has a perforated layer which I think dissipates the heat. All I know is that my lap stays cool and laptop no longer shuts off from overheating. Hope this helps.

I am not sure - I think it is the composite it is made of - but my laptop does not even get warm. Acer Windows 8 15.6 inch laptop. The lapdesk has a perforated rubbery type coating under the laptop - so it appears that air does circulate freely under the laptop. The slide-out mouse tray is not rubbery - it is a slick hard plastic and the mouse glides easily.

This lap desk doesn't have fans. It has holes that allow the computer to breathe. It actually stays cooler than the one I had with fans. The one with fans had to be connected to the computer to run and was a major pain. I really like this one.

Mine has two small cooling fans. About the size of fans you see in a computer. Seems to do the job.

The fan is quiet, overall the laptop runs smoothly and quietly. Not hot at all for normal tasks.

It seems to stay much cooler than both my former Compaq and HP laptops. The fan is extremely quiet.

The heat ventilates from the bottom of the computer. It is very discrete and produces hardly any heat.

I've played games using it for a few hours, maybe 6 maximum, so yeah it should keep cool enough.Be sure to keep your entire case cool as well with proper air flow.

It doesn't have any fans so dont expect this to cool the device. However, if you are using on lap or bed or couch where there will be no vent. This will definately help you keep the device cool and vented.

Just make sure there are enough ventilation(cooling fans to draw the heat out of your computer, and make sure the heat from the computer can get out freely), and finally, put the computer far away from you so you don't feel the heat.

The laptop may hang over the edges but you can set the two fans wherever you want so it should be able to cool where it gets hot.

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.

I never over heat but to be fair, I also prop up the laptop a bit by putting a book under neath it while using the laptop buddy.

It has no cooling element or material BUT it does help keep your laptop on a flat surface which helps the laptop circulate air underneath it and stay a bit cooler. It also keeps my lap from getting hot as well.

The fan is not loud at all, it's a very quite Laptop. The Laptop will get warm if holding in your lap for a long period of time.

It blows/pulls air off of the bottom of your laptop, thereby removing heat from the bottom. It works well if your laptop fan exhausts out the back. You'll feel it on your legs if you're wearing shorts.

It get hot but as long as it resting on something so that it gets ventilation it runs fine. So long as it is plugged in the laptop is capable of running intensive software such as DOLPHIN which runs Game Cube and WII games.

It doesnt cool it, it keeps it cool because it is not flat on a desk or table, I have a 17 inch and have been using it for at least 5 years now.

The excess noise can be reduced by duct taping the thing onto the exhaust grill of your laptop. Make it air tight so the fan gets all the hot air out. This reduces the noise a lot and helps it to cool better.
