Well, it looks as though they addressed the minor issues I had. The price, though reasonable, may be higher than some competitors In my previous review I said the following:Įven though this is a very effective solution, it could be even better They now cost five dollars less, $24.95 at the Xpad4Laptop site. And you can buy them for less than the original. They don’t use any electricity such as USB powered laptop pads with fans, they have no moving parts and are light, strong and unobtrusive. I have no doubt both it and the new Slim will last a long time. As for durability, after thrashing the original for a year and a half, and letting my kids beat on it (and my poor laptop), the Xpad has held up extremely well. It is thinner, lighter, and dissipates heat just as well, if not better, than the original. I found the Xpad Slim to be excellent, and slightly better than the original, which I have loved. Yet they are made with non-slip rubber and hold the laptop well. The original model’s corners were solid, but these are vented, which allows air to diffuse through them, thus providing enhanced cooling. The four legs of the “X” are now designed differently as well.

Both fit well under my 15″ laptop (see pictures below): The new, slimmer model, weighs less than a pound and has dimensions 14.5″ x 10.5″ x. The original weighed 1 lb, and had dimensions 13″ x 10.5″ x.
The first difference I noticed about the Xpad Slim is the size. So does the new, slimmer version, improve upon the old design? It’s light and strong, and provides a great base for computing. Just take it out of the box, put it on your lap or a desk, put your laptop over it and you are ready to roll. The design itself provides the cooling using passive technology. Inside is a strong platform with insulative air pockets, and EVA insulation material at the bottom provides a third layer of insulation and acts as the non-skid surface.” The Xpad for Laptop, as I said in my previous review, works like this: “The legs of the “X” shape are raised slightly above the base of the unit, allowing airflow and cooling. As you know, laptops get mighty hot – up to 130 degrees Fahrenheit – and uncomfortable sitting on your lap. In January of 2008 I had the pleasure to review the Xpad for Laptop, a nonslip laptop cooler and heatshield, and I have used it ever since.
