Nearly indistinguishable from the excellent Belkin Laptop Cooling Stand we looked at as part of our recent laptop cooling device roundup, the APC Forced Air Cooling Notebook Computer Stand, $29, offers effective laptop cooling for mid-size and smaller systems.

Though it shares the same single-fan, USB-powered design, and ergonomic kickstand as the Belkin device, the APC cooler is slightly smaller and lighter, and it feel less sturdy, especially when used with a larger, desktop replacement laptop. It's cast in a dull gray and doesn't look nearly as sharp as the Apple-friendly white Belkin.

Measuring 11 inches wide (with deep V-shaped cutouts on both sides) by 10 inches deep by a little more than 1 inch high, the unit is suited best for midsize or smaller laptops. A larger desktop replacement will have to balance on top, and the nonslip rubber pads on the top are much smaller than the ones on the Belkin.
