Customer Review: EXCELLENT Cooling Pad!
Summary: 5 Stars
The Zalman NC1000 notebook cooler has to be amongst the best out there right now. This thing actually cools along the ENTIRE top surface area of the cooler (as opposed to one or two spots MOST other coolers focus on) so it really cools, at even levels, the entire bottom-side of the notebook. This is a huge plus in and of its own. Although I didn't see a 30% drop in temps (thats rather unrealistic), this thing does keep me at adequately safe temperatures even during the most CPU and GPU-taxing processes (in some situations, I saw drops of 10-15 degrees C).
The cooler is truly "silent". I can barely hear the thing at all except when I have the fans going at the maximum level (and even then, I hear nothing more than a gentle "whirring" sound - usually, the sound of the notebook running completely drowns out the fans altogether). This brings up another "PRO": the fans have multiple levels. Most of the other units simply have "On/Off" functions or 2 different levels. This unit has a jog wheel with varying speeds (much like a volume wheel) so you can adjust it according to what you're doing with your notebook.
The build quality is pretty remarkable. Although it's not a very heavy piece, it FEELS substantial. I haven't dropped it, but I'm certain that if I actually did, it wouldn't suffer from the fall. Most of the other coolers I was contemplating purchasing were made of plastic and just felt "cheap". Granted, the Zalman is one of the more expensive units, but the build quality, design and overall excellent functionality makes it more than worth it. I have no regrets spending the extra $15-20 on this thing.
The ONLY "CON" I can possibly list is that it's pretty much made for 15" notebooks. I have a 15.4" machine, so this doesn't really concern me at all, but, when fully centered, my notebook sticks out about 1/2" on either side. If you have a larger notebook, you may want to take this into consideration.
Overall, I'm thrilled with this purchase. I didn't really see myself spending $50 on a notebook cooler, but after actually using it, I have no doubt I made the right choice.
