Will using laptop on this pad damage the pad due to laptop heat?

I use a laptop with a mouse on the same pad every day and it is still perfect. No damage.

I left a low-clearance laptop (small feet on the bottom) sitting on it overnight and it caused it to curl a bit near the hard drive. However, the damage wasn't permanent and after about a week, it laid flat again. I do use a laptop cooler pad (riser only, no fan) to keep it from happening again.

I would keep it as flat as possible as much as possible, and of course I have no way to know for sure about YOUR particular pad so this is not to be taken as gospel advise, but my pad often becomes folded over on itself a bit while I am resting and I have never had a fire or been burned yet. Of course, please don't leave it plugged in ESPECIALLY if you're going to be leaving the home and be sure it's lying flat when not in use, but having a small crimp in the pad from time to time when it's in use should not present too much of a a problem for you. HTH!

Do not see why not. I have to stay in bed most of the time and lay on the heating pad all the time. Never had a problem with overheating. Just be careful not to get burned. I keep the pad on low and make sure there is an article of clothing between me and the heating pad. Hope that helps.

I don't know about the battery itself getting hot. I typically use my computer on my lap so I put the laptop on a cooking pad.

it keeps the heat from reaching your lap or any surface that you set your laptop on

We haven't noticed any temperature problem. Overall we have been very pleased with the pad.

I've had mine for a while and occasionally use it on my lap. I find the heat very tolerable. This Think Pad is cooler than my T41. IMO this one of the best laptops. I may be biased because this is my fourth Think Pad.

My laptop does exactly the same thing, and the answer is yes it cools all over. Sometimes when I first turn the fan on I slide it a bit so the left side is more towards the center just to get immediate results but once the side is cooler to the touch I center the laptop on the pad and it maintains the lower temperatures just fine.

Yes. It stays very cool on the bottom so it does not become too hot on the lap. The rubber grips on the pad help keep the laptop from sliding off the pad when you have it at slight angle on your lap.

No it will not harm your pad, your converter should always be a higher wattage.

It does not make my laptop hot. working on laptop a few hours, sitting idle a couple days+lucretia

I very seldom hold it in my lap, but it does not seem to get overly hot. I sometimes use it on a pillow and have never had a problem with to much heat. this has been a really good tablet/laptop and I would recommend it to anyone that likes windows 8. It took me a while to get used to, but I now use quite a lot. Long battery life is a big plus.

Seems unlikely. If you place it below the cooling fan it would make no difference as the laptop pad works on heat transfer and therefore does not cool air so the fan would simply be blowing air at ambient room temperature. If you lace it above the fan it would block the fan and the passage of air altogether.

The pad is attached to outside of a clean oil pan with a RTV type silicone coating the oil pan where attached and then again coating the bonded area. The heat sink affect of the oil pan alone would disapate the heat. With oil in the pan to further disapate heat it is highly unlikely heat would buildup. The key is a clean unobstructed attachment and a clear area below the the pan at all times. Accidents are always possible but preventative maintenance is what this device is all about. You don't need to plug this device in when the temperature is above 32 degrees farenheit.

I have not had any issues with the laptop getting too warm to sit on my lap. I rarely use it that way because I find that too uncomfortable for long term use but the unit seems to remain relatively cool even when used for long periods of time. Hope that helps.

I would not know the answer to that question as I am not a professional tester but I never experienced any problem or difficulty with that laptop touch-pad.

It's not really a heating pad, it's just a fuzzy cloth cover for a heating pad. Hope this helps.
