Notebook stands have different numbers of fans. Four to five small, two medium, one large. Why is that? Because depending on the laptop models, the radiator grilles are located in different places. Therefore, before buying a stand, please note that you will be cooling.

How the laptop cooling pad works
Models with a cooler (cooling) are connected to the laptop via a USB hub. The fans rotate at a speed of 1000-2250 rpm and control the heating temperature of the grates.

Laptop stands: reviews about Titan TTC-G25T / B4
Diman89: «The only caveat: if the air intake goes from the bottom of the laptop closer to the screen cover, the fan of the stand does not blow at all. It turns out the center of the laptop is cold, but the processor and video card are hot. I overcame it this way: I move the laptop below the stand just above the ventilation holes of the stand. So a 17-inch laptop, although it fits on a stand, but if it has an air intake at the top, it does not cool. Have to move it down».
Sergey: «The built-in hub turns the laptop into a dock. station - when running as a desktop PC. It's a pity that the hub is not usb 3.0, but my modem and external CD drive are working quietly».
