I love my laptop. It is one of those things that I would hate to be without. What is almost just as bad is a laptop that doesn’t work right. One that overheats, especially at the worst times, is one of my least favorite things. That is why when I was asked to review a Thermapak Heatshift Laptop Cooler, I was more than happy to give it a try. I have used a number of “coolers” for my laptop and one of two things happens… either they break and stop working or they never work to begin with. What a waste of money!
The Thermapak Heatshift Laptop Cooler is an entirely different story! They need no power to run (making it eco-friendly too). All you need to do is place the Thermapak under your laptop and use your computer as normal. As the computer heats up, the Thermapak will absorb that heat and change from a solid to a liquid state inside. Sound interesting? I thought so!
I used the Thermapak on my laptop and my husband’s. I did notice some small changes with the Thermapak as my computer was on longer. It started to get softer. But, I thought I would really put it to the test. After using it for a several weeks, I walked it up to my mom’s house. My mom’s computer gets VERY hot and shuts down at least once a day because of it. I knew that my mom would be able to give the Thermapak a good workout.
So, what did she think? She loves it! My mom has a few things that she really likes about the Thermapak. One is that it is so easy to use. She can throw it in her bag for the lake and it takes up no space at all. Two, it works well! She rarely has her computer shut down anymore. The Thermapak gets very soft with my mom’s computer, meaning that it is absorbing the heat from her laptop. My dad even wanted to use it but my mom told him it was pink (he is color blind and didn’t realize) so he begrudgingly decided against it. I think my mom just wanted to not give it up though!
I would recommend anyone with a laptop buy a Thermapak Heatshift Laptop Cooler. It is a great, inexpensive product that will not break (like other coolers I have used). In addition, it really works and is portable. That is great for moms, business people, bloggers, and anyone on the go!
Would you like to buy a Thermapak Heatshift Laptop Cooler? You can purchase one in black, pink (like mine!), and white in three sizes to match any computer you have. They range in price from $27.99 to $34.99. They also have an upgrade program you may want to consider! And, if you would prefer to have a Heatshift bag, you can get one of those too!
Would you like to win a Thermapak Heatshift Laptop Cooler? Thermapak has kindly offered to give one reader a 15″ Laptop Cooler (just like the one I received).

The ThermaPAK vision is to make ThermaPAK the most effective and mobile cooling device for every laptop user.
With more and more computer users switching to laptops this can be accomplished with strong marketing to users. The need for the products exist, they just have to get their name and the products visible to the everyday consumer. Since they have innovative colors and designs they need to think of unique ways to create the desire in the buyer to purchase.
