Today I purchased this cooling pad and my God! I won, my computer had not been as quiet a long time. To tell you after only 2 minutes of using the tablet, the fan stopped my computer (it was starting to heat up, it was time to test it;)) and what silence! because the tablet is really quiet and I was not expecting it at all. I highly recommend it, because when one is in possession of a laptop computer when it is on flat surface that leaves not passed by any air vents, it has very quickly overheat and that the components abyss so you have to seriously consider buying a cooling pad.
