Top: original is less wide than the new Xpad slimīoth universal designs accommodate laptops up to 17″, but the new, wider design allows the user to spread their legs and be more comfortable. Top left: Xpad slim – Top right: original Top left: Xpad Slim – Top right: original Top left: new, slim design – Top right: original design 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.
