My MacBook pro is getting up there in the years. I purchased him in 2006. Poor dude. These days, he gets VERY hot. I use a stand to help cool it, but if I’m using it on my lap, I pretty much know I’m in for toasting my thighs.
When ThermaPAK offered me a Heatshift Laptop Cooler to check out, I said YES PLEASE and HOW ABOUT A PINK ONE. (I may have a problem with wanting all my accessories and cooking supplies and everything ever to be orange or pink or green or teal.) The Laptop Cooler pad is basically a floppy pad thing you place under your laptop on your lap or on the desk. It’s made of some kind of proprietary grooved awesomeness that distributes heat. (Dude I don’t understand how it works, I just know that it works.)
The pad is lightweight and convenient. It comes in different colors so you don’t need to get a pink one. The consistency of it kind of reminds me of those things they put on you at the dentist when they’re taking X-Rays. Except it isn’t heavy like that.
If you have a laptop that runs hot as hell and you use it on your lap or flat on a desk, I definitely recommend picking one of these up to help with the heat issue. The Heatshift Laptop Cooler pad runs around $30.

That’s pretty much the best ever shade of pink, and I wants one. Keeping the laptop cool without using power? AMAZING.

Dude, or Macbook Pros could be twinsies. I have noticed that the poor girl has been getting hot lately and I don’t want a new Macbook, or rather, I don’t want to pay for a new Macbook.
I saw these when Momminitup did a review of them and I thought they were uber cool, I especially love their laptop cooler trade in program.
Given this and the awesome discount….I think I am sold.
I SO need one of these. The one I have really sucks. Last minute Mother’s Day present for me!
I really need this for the summer. My poor laptops gets so hot when it is hot out!

Ooohh, I like the pink one too! Thanks for the great giveaway! jenalber@hotmail.com
So, this is like a Mac thing? The overheating until you think you’re going to die from heat exposure? Good to know.
I think this looks really cool — consider me entered :).
This sounds like something great to use when working on the couch!

The ThermaPAK Heatshift Laptop Cooler would be wonderful. Right now if I am in the living room I am using a towel over my legs so it doesn’t get too warm. Our laptop is about 2 years old and my legs can get pretty toasty some days. I dread the summer when I am wearing shorts and try to use the laptop!!
I like the pink color! I could keep track of it easier!
