llanoV10 Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad, RGB Laptop Cooler Stand with Powerful 4.72 Inch External Turbo Cooling Fan, Fast Cooling Computer 13-17.3in, Button Control, 3 Adjustable Stand, 4-Port USB C&A

Before I get into my review, I want to mention that if your laptop doesn't have bottom vents, you might want to save your money and skip the Llano V10 Pro. The instructions suggest not using the foam in that case, but honestly, you won’t get much benefit without bottom vents. This fan won't magically cool through a sealed case. But if your laptop has bottom vents, read on...This cooling pad works. I was skeptical at first, but my laptop temperatures dropped by 10-20°C depending on the activity. And this is at less than half fan speed. The biggest reductions happen during high-heat activities like gaming, but even general use shows improvement.In terms of cooling, I give this an A++. It really does the job. My Llano V10 Pro used to get hot enough to make the keyboard uncomfortable to touch, but with this pad, that issue is gone. I've tried other cooling pads that either did nothing or made things worse.As for noise, if you crank it to full speed, it's loud. There's no sugarcoating it. However, I usually run it at about one-third speed, where you can hear it, but it's not obnoxious. It's more of a "what’s that faint sound?" level. If you need to run this at 100%, you likely need more than just a cooling pad. Even at full speed, though, using headphones can help. The only downside is an annoying whine at lower RPMs, and since it's controlled with a physical dial, finding the right setting can be a bit tricky.When it comes to lighting, I'm indifferent. I don’t care much for it. I did struggle to turn off the disco light show at first (no instructions provided), but eventually, I managed to find a single color I liked.Stability and build quality are impressive. My laptop is heavy, yet it doesn't budge on this pad. The pad itself is sturdy and doesn’t slide around, and the laptop stays put as well. Before buying, I saw a review saying it’s just a fan in a case with foam, and while that's true, it's a solid case with a great fan. The foam helps direct the airflow to the laptop instead of the desk. The USB hub is something I didn't bother with, so if that’s important to you, check other reviews.Ergonomically, it’s a bit unusual but not bad. The sturdy braces at the bottom keep your laptop in place but stick up even at the lowest setting, which can be slightly annoying depending on where you rest your hands. The pad allows for raising the back to different heights, though some of the increments seem impractical. Fortunately, the main height options are comfortable.My main complaint is the complete lack of documentation. There’s none. They do indicate which foam to use (which is important), but figuring out the lights is a guessing game. Good luck!One thing to watch out for: check where your laptop vents are. Mine are toward the center/back, so I had to adjust the braces to position the laptop correctly over the fan. There are three brace positions, so it should accommodate most layouts, but make sure to position the vents properly.If your laptop has temperature issues, I highly recommend the Llano V10 Pro. It works.

The PROS:Honestly, it works, wow I mean the numbers !! On idle, I used to be around 42-48 degrees with a regular 3 fan laptop cooler and while gaming a demanding AAA game like Control on the highest setting, I would get an average of 80-95 degrees on the CPU (i7 13th gen) and 70-75 on GPU (RTX 4070).Now while using this cooler, just on 1200-1500 speed (barely noticeable noise) It went down to 29-35 degrees on idle and playing the same game on the highest settings, my CPU stays at a cool 55-65-75 degrees and the GPU even less !! I'm using CoreTemp to log the temps and also HWiNFO64 with RTSS as an OSD.The CONS:Honestly not a fan of the lights, wish you could just turn them off, you can only change modes and colors (also the red is kinda pink and it doesn't match any other red I have anywhere) I also wish it could be propped up higher, like more inclined, on it's highest inclination, it's still a bit on the low side the screen doesn't actually meet eye level, I haven't tested the USB ports, but I guess they should probably work for common things such as connecting a keyboard, mouse, etc... Most of these cons are minor things and strictly my opinion.I also wish it had some kind of auto power down feature when you turn off the laptop, it has it's own power adaptor so unlike other coolers, you have to turn it on and off every time you want to use it, also, it came with a sticker with the names for the buttons, and it kept on unsticking from one corner, so I saw the images of the product and there was no sticker present in the pics, so I guessed it was just there for new users and should be removed, well it left a sticky residue that I had to rub off and clean properly, not a fan of stickers that leave gunk.Verdict:Perfect for "smaller" gaming laptops such as Asus TUF F15 models 15.6" screens, fits like a glove, I guess for bigger laptops maybe the older Llano model would be better, this cooler is the best there is if you really want to keep your laptop cool and avoid overheating and throttling while also preserving it's lifespan, if you can look past the minor negative details. I really hope it sticks by my side for many years and if it ever dies, I would definitely buy another one.'P.D. As another user discovered you CAN turn off the RBG lights by long pressing the MODE button, one less minor complain.P.D.D: I bought a second of for my other laptop, such a great cooler, gamechanger for sure.

I have tried a few other much cheaper $30 -$40 range and the V10 blows those away. It's a great design and cools very effectively. I have a ThinkPad P17 laptop and this thing pumps the heat with it's i9 processor and RTX 4500 video card. I played a few games that usually have my fans maxxed out but with the pad running at 1500 rpm it kept everything nice and cool. The little feet have nice rubber on them, and there is a foam piece that really seals and prevents air from exiting anywhere except through your bottom vents. It is pretty loud at 2500 rpm or over but at 1500 I barley hear it and it keeps everything perfectly cool. I recommend the V10 over the v12 and v13 if you have a 15.6 inch laptop. I like the physical buttons over the ones on the v12 as well. It's also a bit more compact. It has 2 settings for level height, which I use the higher and it's perfect. My only wish was that they used some metal in the construction and possibly a higher quality fan at this price point. I think a higher quality fan would be much quiter. Overall I give a 10/10 for design and functionality and a 7 for build quality.
