- Archer Tech Lab RGB Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad Stand with Aluminum Metal Grid, 5 Turbo Fans Dual USB Ports 7 Adjustable Angles Elevation Bracket & Phone Holder, Supports Up to 17" Laptop (Squall 300)

Came across this product while searching for a cooling pad for my 2 laptops- gaming and work laptops; which get heated up real quick while using it on a desk. Although there are a lot of cooling pad options out there, my efforts on finding a decent cooling that will be good to use for both types of usage was going in vain as my office laptop is 13" in size, and my old cooling pad laptop holder used to always come in the way and make it uncomfortable to use and my gaming laptop is an alienware 17" which is big and weighs quite a bit - so a cheaper laptop cooling pad that I used earlier was of no use literally. Coming to this cooling pad, I felt the price was a bit high at first instance but after going through the features, I felt this would serve both my purpose, and to my pleasure it perfectly fits my requirement. The packaging is very premium to say the least (loved the logo ribbon that was tied with the USB cable). The first feature that really stood out which I didn't find in any of the cooling pads available on amazon till now was this elevation bracket; so basically it is a cooling pad cum a laptop holder which you can raise up and I can use the laptop in a relaxed posture. Now I can sit for long gaming/programming sessions without any stress on my body and also on my laptops, it is simply great! Plus the fans are so quiet that I sometimes check back if it is even ON... LOL :D The phone holder is also an important addition to this cooling pad, it greatly helps me keep a tab on my phone while I get busy on my laptop. The metal base built is quite sturdy and multiple adjustment angles provide the exact viewing angle that I need. Being a professional gamer and a techie, I am enticed by the RGB but I like the minimalistic design and the RGB aspect in this cooling is just what I wanted. All-in-all, super happy to have this great cooling pad.

Pros: 1. The fans are silent, and the RGB is a nice touch. 2. Optimum table space management as you can put small clocks, kvm, controllers, etc. underneath. 3. Sturdy and elegant. 4. 3 stage fan speed control. Cons: 1. The phone holder space is too thin for a lot of phones especially with phone cases. Adjustable phone stand would have been good. 2. The usb ports could have been 3.0. High bandwidth devices could have been connected.

Best build quality

Very baad don't try this for little bit gaming purpose best for office use only less speed of fan

Using this cooler stand from more than 6 months now, so this is a long term review. I was looking for a cooler for my work laptop, as it generates a lot of heat while rendering video, it needs some extra cooling from outside, otherwise my work laptop lags or if it is too hot than it just restarts. I use my laptop along with an external display, so I wanted a cooler as well as a stand to keep it in my eye level with the external monitor. Once I saw this product I knew this is the only one that can solve both my issues in one. So coming to the main performance of this cooler: I have noticed without turning on this cooler the temperature of my laptop is more than 80-90 degree while rendering a video from After Effects. As soon as I turn on this cooler, the temperature comes down by 8-9 degrees within 2-3 mins of starting the fan. The main bigger fan in the middle gives the maximum air flow to the laptop. I usually use the stand more than the cooler function, I mostly use the cooler while doing heavy tasks or if the laptop is getting hot. I haven’t noticed any major issue with this cooler in the past 6-7 months. It got an extra USB port where I plug my USB keyboard, sometimes the keyboard (connected in the USB port of the cooler) doesn’t work (happened 2 or 3 times I guess), but once I reconnect the cooler USB everything again works perfectly. The Lighting of cooler is also very nice, too bad I can't see that as it is always under my laptop. I bought it for around ₹2.3k, for me it's a value for money product.

I bought the Archer Tech Lab RGB Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad, and I am happy with it overall.The cooling pad works well and helps keep my laptop cool during long gaming and study sessions. The fans are strong and the airflow reduces heat. The RGB lights look cool and add style to my setup.The size fits most laptops and it feels sturdy. The USB connection is easy and doesn’t require extra power. It also has a comfortable angle for typing and gaming.One problem: sometimes it turns off automatically by itself. This can be annoying during long use.Overall, this cooling pad is useful for gamers and students who use laptops for long hours. It is good value for money, but the automatic shut-off issue should be improved.

The two main reasons I ordered this product were 1. Better posture while working.. 2. Improve airflow. My table is not very wide, hence there is very less space at the back of the laptop to exhaust hot air. This issue could be solved by any cooling pad, but this cooling pad has another great feature - elevation brackets. They allow us to bring the laptop to our eye level - allowing us to work while keeping our back and neck straight. Working/Gaming for hours in a bad posture can lead to several physical and mental health issues - from muscle/joint pain to walking in a hunched back position. For this reason, this is a must buy if you have to bend to work on your laptop. Please note that once you use the elevation brakcet, you'll need an external keyboard as keeping your arm in air while your hand is on the keyboard is not very comfortable. I the video, I'm using a mini keyboard because my table doesn't have space for a full sized one. Here comes another good thing about this - it has space under when you use elevation brackets where you can keep stuff - I usually keep my external hard drives there - or USB hubs. Main fan throws air towards the laptop, other 4 are exhaust (throw air away from the laptop). The temperature difference you'll see in this depends on the vents of your laptop. In my case, Asus Tuf a17 has very less and very small vents on the bottom, I only saw a difference of 5-7℃. Even this much is enough to increase the life span of your laptop. Fans are silent, don't make a lot of noise. You can barely hear it. In conclusion, I couldn't find any other cooling pad on amazon that has extra height elevation features. Archer Tech is an Indian brand based in NCR, hence they are more reliable than any Chinese brand that might be selling similar products. Build Quality is good for the price too. Definitely recommended if you want a good posture + good airflow.

Got this for about 2300. It's worth the money for it's design & various options to choose from. This Coolpad has good features and works as advertised. However 17" laptop is hard to handle by this Coolpad since mly 17" laptop overflows the entire pad. It's not recommended to use this pad inclined with heavy or 17" laptop. In that case the laptop is pushed outside the pad, making this pad ineffective. That's why 4 stars else it's a awesome pad. Size wize it's for 14" and upto 15.6" laptop sizes. LED is worthless while in use. Other features are good like it has a optional stand. It gives ventilation to the five fans. Good design features include fan starts from highest speed to lowest, in that order. Fans are almost quiet. It has a phone tray for one slim phone. USB wire provided has sufficient length to cover breath of 17" & hence lower dimensions of laptops. This one is sturdy. This one doesn't reduce temperature that much as my previous one. But, it's still effective since stand gives ventilation & even without opening stand, it's designed to suck air from down to up direction. I like this Coolpad as it's comfortable while in use on the bed and with multiple options (stand / on table / phone / 7 inclines / fan speed). One video review shkw the fans stopped working. It happened to me too, with laptop powering through usb. But, worked at lower speeds 1 &2. When I changed power source to 2.4 A usb, it works Ok.
