will it act as a chilling pad for for my 17 laptop?

The cooling portion is in the middle, so I don't see it being an issue. The main problem that you'll have is your laptop will certainly be larger, over the sides of the base. Mine is a 15" and it hangs over a little bit. As long as that doesn't bother you, it should be fine.

Yes, it works well for my 17". I also like the fact that I can have it higher in the back with the legs as it is easier for me to see.

Yes! I have a Dell 17" laptop and it hangs over the edges but it still cools the laptop.

The company web site says that it will be comfortable on the lap."With efficient functions and superb silent concept in mind, the NotePal X2 creates optimal comfort for laptop users. Either on a desk or on the lap of an on-the-go user, the NotePal X2 takes air from a bottom intake and cools down high temperatures with its 140mm silent fans, dissipating the high temperatures generated by the CPU and GPU trapped inside the laptop housing." - http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=2936

Yes it will, in fact I'm pretty sure that's what it's designed for. The fans (2) are located on the top of the "platform" you set the laptop on, so the air blows upward. It works reasonably well unless it's a really hot day and I'm watching YouTube videos, then it still overheats and shuts down.I should add, however, that my cooling fan no longer works at all, so if your fan works but just isn't cooling it enough, it should work really well.

Actual cooling grid is 11 x 15 inches. Actual base is 12 x 16 inches. Measure the bottom of your laptop and if it fits on the cooling grid it should work for you. It is a fine and well built cooling pad. Regards Ed

I think so...I have a 17 in old MacBook Pro. Your computer would hang over a little on each side. It cools it only so much and my old macbook would get hot anyway. I bought mine I think over a year ago so I am guessing there may be better ones out there too.

I don't use a cooler pad and mine gets pretty warm. Note: I run Linux, which may or may not be a factor...

The fan is a fixed large fan and it will cool my Dell 17" I7 processor laptop. My laptop bottom is cool and not even warm. I have the Belkin laptop cooler before and it cause my laptop overheat. This large fan will produce cool air and my laptop is cool.

Good question. Because there is some level of air under the lapdesk it may help cool it a bit, but it is not meant to be a cooling device. To be honest, I've not notice much difference, but then I haven't done any studies either!

I have a 17" HP laptop and it helps cool it by at least 50%, as I play games alot. The 5 fans it has is a big plus! I highly recommend it!

Not always...laptops are meant to run at high temperatures...even up to 90 degrees Celsius. But it is common knowledge that heat it bad and cool is always good. You can test to see if it helps but more often than not, a cooler isnt needed. Internal fans keep laptops at a set temperature(if you think like a fan in a car). I hope this helps you out.

Depends. I have a 17' HP DV7, and it fits it just fine on a table. On my lap, however, it doesn't cover the entire bottom half of the computer. Nevertheless, it still does a great job of keeping my notebook cool.

It does help a little with obsorbing the heat from my computer and I do keep it underneath at all times. However, the reason I wanted it, is that I like to hold my computer on my lap sometimes and unfortunately, I can still feel the heat coming through the pad when I do this.

Can't respond concerning that specific device, but the specs do say "Padded Laptop Sleeve Secure Padded Compartment Accommodates most 17" Laptops."

It does not mess up your laptop. I just said that my 17" laptop sticks out a little bit on the sides. Not much about 1/2" which makes no difference. I am currently using it and it is nice and cool. By the way I did not mention in my review how quiet it is. I cannot hear the fan running. I can feel the air blowing and when I touch it I can feel the vibrations, I know it is on. If you get this cooler, you will really enjoy it. I do recommend that you do not put it on a pillow for it does not sit well, that is why I purchased a small piece of plywood and painted it to have it look nice long enough to have a place for my trackball mouse with my gel pad for the mouse. I can use it while kicking back on my bed or sitting on the sofa watching TV or lessening to music.

I think it makes a perfect laptop desk for those purposes where actual cooling (as there are no fans or anything electronic on this) is not required. The hard service should be perfect for writing and gradiing papers (hi teach!) and the padded side makes it comfortable to use in your lap.

It def keeps your lap cool. What it does is acts as a hard surface for laptop to sit on, not allowing something soft or flexible to push up and block any vents in bottom of computer. I would say it helps, but if you want to specifically have the laptop cool, I would suggest one that is more substantial, and possibly with a fan built in. This one is good if you sit in bed or always place computer directly on lap. Hope this helps.
