Duration of ownership: 1 Months
Strengths: did the job for as long as the power cord lasted
Weaknesses:construction for the power cord is atrocious
Overall Evaluation: The cooler itself was great - fairly quiet, and fully functional. The power cord setup on the other hand is one of the worst I've seen. We had the cooler only a couple of weeks when it started to just quit, and we figured out that it was the power cord. What we couldn't tell was whether it was the cord itself or the outlet in the cooler. We ordered a replacement, and sure enough the outlet itself wasn't properly constructed, so we had to literally hold the plug in a certain spot to get the thing to work. NOT WORTH IT for the price of the product. I'm now looking for another cooler, and I don't want to bother sending this back.

Duration of ownership: 21 Months
Strengths: For two years this worked well but the cons won
Weaknesses:The plug connection has a short and won't work anymore.
Overall Evaluation: Power is supplied by attaching a passthru USB connector to the laptop and the other end is a straight plug that blucks into a socket on a recessed shelf underneath. The problem is that this lies on your lap and your leg will put pressure on that plug. After 21 months the socket stopped working :-( Until now I really liked it!

Duration of ownership: 6 Months
Strengths: It cools well for approx. the first month
Weaknesses:The usb cable connecting to the fan has broken TWICE
Overall Evaluation: This is my second antec fan, don't ask my why I bought this same bad product again, I figured I'd give it a second chance, seeing as to it does a decent job for the first month. The wire that connects the fan to the computer starts becoming sensitive so you have to jiggle it around a little, then you get to the stage where your taping it, then it just stops working. No foul play was done to the fan at all, since the laptop basically sits on a desk the whole day without moving. Just my experience with it.. twice.Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. HA!

Duration of ownership: 3 Months
Strengths: Sturdy; cools well
Weaknesses:Power connector breaks very quickly!
Overall Evaluation: I owned two of these, both of which I "lost" due to the power connector on the device itself becoming unstable, and finally ceasing to work altogether - within the first 3 months!! The unit itself is very well made, yet such a cheap component was used for the power connector. It's really regrettable.

Duration of ownership: 5 Days
Strengths: works
Weaknesses:looks
Overall Evaluation: I bought for my old dell laptop. It feels awkward, and I don't like the surface much. But it works well, I think. The overheat problem got less..nice one....
