Overall and FV
The U Stand is Capable of holding up to 17” laptops with two optional fans and USB power outlets for easy docking with your mouse and keyboard. The Notepal U Stand is a good choice if you do a lot of resource-intensive activities because of its dual adjustable fans. No matter the layout of the cooling vents on your laptop you will have no problem moving both fans into position to push the most amount of air in to keep everything cool. The Stand portion of the Notepal U Stand means this model is designed as more of a dock than Cooler Master’s typical Notepal line. That makes it great as a dock for your laptop. In my case, with a wife and kids, it was a perfect way for me to keep a spot to setup my laptop. Without the stand, when I take my laptop with me I normally come home to no place to set back up. Using the Notepal U Stand with a mouse and keyboard made setting up quick and in my case possible. At $49.99, it won't break the bank. All in all, this is a good choice for a cooling stand. It sure beats micro videotape cases.
