I have a cooling pad that is 20 inches wide, 14 inches deep, and 1 inch tall. Would I be able to securely place it with my laptop on top of this tray?

Like Lloyd said, you could use a Velcro strap to help hold everything in place. My only concern is that the pegs that hold the laptop in place at the bottom are only about an inch high, so the laptop would only be sitting on your cooling pad. The cooling pad could be easily secured to the tray, but your laptop would just be hanging out on top of the cooling pad unless you secured it with Velcro or something. The Ergotron tray and arm are plenty strong enough, just depends on how you secure things.

Yes, with difficulty. The support legs are not long enough to extend beyond the cooling pad to hold the laptop. Even without a cooling pad, and with a small laptop, I put a Velcro strip across the top of the support and a matching strip on my laptop. You would have to Velcro the cooling pad to the support and the laptop to the cooling pad. Also, depending on the center of gravity, you may have to tighten the pivot bolt quite tight to prevent the support from tipping forward. Actually your system might extend behind the pivot enough that it is does not tip forward.

I used this cooling pad for my 17.5" laptop, and the cooling pad was slightly bigger, so I'd say yes. However, I wouldn't recommend this cooling pad, unless you couldn't find another one anywhere else, because it's pretty cheap, it has to be plugged into it's own personal outlet in order to power the fans, the fans are really loud unless you turn down their speed which makes them not very helpful, and the mini-usb socket on the cooling pad itself broke off easily when I accidentally sat down and pressed it against the arm of my couch which made the extra usb ports useless. I would only ever buy this cooling pad as a last resort. I used this cooling pad for my 17.5" laptop, and the cooling pad was slightly bigger, so I'd say yes.

I hope I can help you, I have had this for a few months and you "could" put it on your lap, but not very comfortably as the Cooling pad isn't quite as big as it appears.

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---

The actual width is 11-3/4 inches. I am using it with a 13 inch laptop with no problems. It would support larger laptops, however, the laptop would need to stay centered on the cooler so that the stops at the bottom are centered with the laptop to prevent side slippage. Personally, I don't see where you could not use a larger laptop on the Gear Head Dual-Cool but care with positioning would have to be taken.

The dimensions are correct. The pad is a little bit bigger than the computer is. It should fit fine. That is if the fan works. Good luck with it.

I have a 15" wide laptop and it fit on top. It did not do a very good job of cooling though so I bought a Cooler Master Notepal X3. It's the same width but does a much better job of keeping my loptop cool. The Targus went back in the box. The Notepal fan is in the middle and there is a metal grid from edge to edge which allows coll air to all parts of the bottom of the laptop. There are bars around the edges that will keep the air from blowing in your eyes if you laptop is 13.3".

I would not advise it. The fans are exposed on the bottom, so unless you keep it on a table at all times this would not be the best choice. It will fit but it will not work sitting on your lap.

My 17" laptop fits nicely on it. The laptop over laps around an inch on each side. It appears to be cooling the laptop with its two fan.

Sorry, I don't have my laptop and cooling pad at work, however, the fan portion is where the laptop needs the fans. On mine, a central area is covered by the largest fan, and the underside of the edges is covered by the side fans. This cooling pad is the best one that I have gotten. I hope this answers your question. I will check the dimensions of the fan portion when I get home.

The smaller piece sits outside the hole and helps extend the ledge that supports the laptop (& allows for air circulation from below.) It will fit.

Seems unlikely. If you place it below the cooling fan it would make no difference as the laptop pad works on heat transfer and therefore does not cool air so the fan would simply be blowing air at ambient room temperature. If you lace it above the fan it would block the fan and the passage of air altogether.

So long as you allow air space around it to avoid heat build up. I have my coolers with about 2 inches behind and 6+ inches above.

I would think so. The laptop that is sitting on our stand is 16in. Another couple of inches should not present a problem.

Yes, but that would be a pretty tight fit. I recommend looking for something an inch or 2 bigger for that kind of laptop.

I just used my laptop tray which is close to the size of a satellite and it fit, but it was snug. Be advised there is no "laptop sleeve" per se" and no padding. If you want to protect the laptop you will need a protective sleeve of some sort and will need to account for that.

This cooling pad is 11.5 inches long. My laptop is 15 inches, so it hangs off of the sides by a few inches. Even so, it manages to keep my operating temperatures down. It would probably have much more trouble with a 17 inch laptop. If you're looking for something that covers the whole bottom of you're laptop, look for something bigger.
