I've recently (3 weeks ago) purchased the Deepcool N17 for my 14" gaming laptop. It does it's job perfectly. The surface is made out of a metal mesh which ensures you get good airflow on every spot of your laptop. The collapsible feet have rubber pads and give you an ergonomic angle to put your mobile device on. This will also increases the air exchange by lifting up the back of the cooling pad. The USB-Connection cable is quite thin but does it's job. Haven't tried the USB-PassThrough but it's a good idea to not loose an USB-Port. The fan is quiet (personally don't have any problems but I'm also wearing headphones most of the time)....view more

Was tempted to go for the cheapest cooling pad but went with this instead. I'm surprised how good the quality is and how the unboxing is pretty straightforward. My router, for some reason, sometimes loses its connection when it gets too hot. I wouldn't want to wait til summer before my router goes bonkers due to overheating. Anyway, the fan is so silent, I couldn't even hear it unless I have to put my ears closer to the cooling pad. Consider buying this if you are using your laptop moderately; otherwise, it would be best to spend few bucks for extra fans especially when gaming heavily.
