Portronics My Buddy Air Cooling Pad Laptop Stand with 6 Cooling Fans, RGB Lights, 7 Adjustable Heights, Mobile Stand for Upto 17 Inches Laptop (Black)

 The Portronics Laptop Air Cooling Pad strikes a perfect balance between durability and portability. Measuring 250 mm in width and 360 mm in length, it’s conveniently compact yet spacious enough to accommodate most laptops.

At the rear, you’ll find two USB ports and two fan regulators, allowing you to adjust the cooling intensity from off to maximum. Each set of three fans is controlled by one regulator. Additionally, there’s a push-button for LED lighting with three modes.

Furthermore, it features a 7-step adjustment mechanism to ensure precise angle inclination and includes a versatile mobile holder that can be conveniently attached to either side of the cooling pad.

The performance of the fans is impressively quiet, efficiently dissipating heat from your laptop’s surface during operation. Notably, the fans operate independently of the LED lights, ensuring continuous cooling even when the lights are turned off

I’m impressed with the Portronics Laptop Cooling Pad. It’s sleek, durable, and keeps my laptop cool during intense tasks without making much noise. The RGB lights add a stylish touch, and the adjustable fan speed, with the option to switch between 3 or 6 fans, ensures customizable cooling. The ergonomic design adds comfort. Highly recommended for anyone looking to boost their laptop’s performance and longevity with a touch of flair.

Product is worth the price and is work well. The quality is also good

Cons first:

– Height adjusting mechanism has no way to lock both legs in place. Every time you pick this thing up with the laptop on top of it (which I do quite often when moving things around), it sort of falls apart and both “legs” independently move around which is a horrible design decision. What kind of cooling pad is this where picking it up and moving it around with the entire laptop is such a problem? Takes away from porability.

– Colors are simply awful. It looks EXACTLY like the photo – no color cycling, no color options, just red green and blue fixed lights. I’d rather have no lights instead, this doesn’t match any color schemes in my setup and looks obnoxious.

– “Phone holder” is not big enough. If you have a thick phone case, it’ll simply not fit in the holder. Most people use phone cases to protect their devices. I won’t take my phone out of the holder just to put it there, and now the whole feature is unusable for me.

Now, the pros:

– Cooling performance is good enough (don’t expect your laptop’s temps to drop under load, since these things are designed to automatically increase power limit and clock speeds under load based on thermal headroom. Your laptop will be faster but at the same temperature as before.)

– Build quality of the grill is solid and feels good and reliable
– Easily holds up big heavy laptops up to 15.6″
– Has a locking mechanism that prevents the laptop from slipping off the pad if the height angle is too much
– USB Passthrough works well
– Fan speed control is good
– Fixed color strip around the pad can be turned off, fan LEDs still stay on
– Folds well and can be carried around without much difficulty

Overall conclusion – only this cooling pad if you don’t carry the cooling pad with your laptop on top of it (in-place), and if you either keep it at a fixed spot/height or fold everything and take it somewhere else every time.

I’ll say this could be a lot better. I went with portronics because their speakers and other tech is amazing. This cooling pad and it’s design needs a lot more refinement though. I’ll recommend getting something better.
