U Channel Cooling
U Channel Cooling developed two 140mm fans on both sides to provide cooling coverage to the hot zones. The empty area between the two fans helps accelerate the dispersion of hot air.
Adjustable angles for greater comfort
U PAL offers 6 different support angles that allow you to adopt any posture according to your needs.
Silent Operation
2 built-in 140 mm fans operate at a speed of 1,000 RPM to keep the laptop cool. The fans run at very low noise levels to eliminate any source of noise disturbance during work or study.
Metal Mesh Design
The honeycomb metal mesh design allows for rapid airflow to achieve optimal cooling performance.
Non-Slip Design
Non-slip design and rubber feet that ensure the safety of your laptop during use, for any special angle you choose.

Very good stand, does its job, and the extra feature that it can be raised very vertically (more than it appears in the photos here) so I can put the laptop in a position like an extra monitor, exactly what I was looking for. The little ears are plastic, and after three years of taking them off and putting them back on and occasionally letting a heavy laptop fall accidentally, they eventually bent downwards. I bought the same stand again, as I believe it is worth it based on its price.
I use it every day for 8+ hours due to work. It's quite durable for its price, stable, and it actually cools satisfactorily during the summer. I definitely recommend it for someone who doesn't have high demands, but only wants a good price and simple use. I would buy it again, 10/10
Attention, the airflow that it depicts is completely opposite. It pushes downwards instead of upwards. This creates incorrect airflow for the laptop, risking overheating. It is necessary to reverse it for proper airflow and consider changing the product
Compared to others I've had, it is by far the best. It has lasted for 3 years of almost 24-hour daily use. It rarely doesn't work. And it's fine. Of course, it collects dust often and needs cleaning, but it is very good. Maybe it should have been a little thinner so that you don't have to lift your hands so much to write.
The iron support broke and it doesn't stand on its own, it needs to lean on something. Other than that, it's okay. It seems to have some issues with weight, and occasionally you'll hear the fan hitting against the plastic, a little snap here and there, but if you move it around randomly, it might fix itself. Keep in mind that it needs cleaning after a while because it collects dust. For the price, I would try something else.
I have had the stand for about 4 years. Initially, it was excellent, although the way it adjusts the inclination is not the best. Neither is the fact that the cable, which connects to the USB port, simply hangs and there is no way to tidy it up without getting tangled. In terms of cooling, while the fans were working, it was satisfactory. Especially in winter, the airflow was somewhat bothersome on the hands. The noise was low and did not bother in any case. After the first year, it started making noise and when I started to notice it, I saw that one of the fans had stopped working. After a while, the second one also stopped. When I "opened" it to see what was wrong, I found both fans broken. Obviously, the quality is not the best. Needless to say, I did not buy the same stand again. It definitely made its money worth, though. If someone asked me, I would not recommend it for cooling, but more for support and to at least allow the laptop to get some air from underneath. I consider the angle it makes ideal.
Very good base. It has many adjustments and is very convenient. I don't have the fans constantly open, when I see that the computer needs to warm up, I plug it into the USB port and they turn on. Their noise is not annoying. The good thing is that even if you use the port, it has a new port so you don't lose the one you used. I actually use it to raise the screen higher because I also work with a monitor, so it has been very helpful to me.
UPDATE: I have it for two months now. In a very early stage, probably because I slightly shook it (to move it a little closer) while the fan was spinning, it immediately went off balance and hits loudly. Since then, I can never open it. The noise is deafening and you think it's not worth the cooling. Its only value is as a base without cooling, convenient and the steps are useful. But the build quality is cheap, Chinese-made, easily breakable. It's a shame because it arrived in the summer...
(Old review: Today is the first day I'm using it and I'm already satisfied. I don't think you can get something better for the same price. It's quite silent and the construction is more stable than I expected. The height adjustment steps are strong enough even though they are plastic, I don't understand how someone can break them without applying force. It cools well. Pay great attention to where you place it. Due to the build quality (for this price, it can only go so far), issues with the fan can easily occur, so when it's plugged in, always put it on a stable surface, as it may cause permanent damage. Overall, it seems like a very good choice at first glance. I don't mind that it takes up a bit of space, my laptop is 15.6''.)
At the price of €13 that I bought it, I have had it for over a year and it's worth its money, good construction and the brand is trustworthy. I did research before buying this specific product and it's worth paying more only for the same brand.
Excellent product. Surprisingly good airflow, while the large tilt it gives to the laptop raises the screen high and no one bends over while working, of course with a separate keyboard and mouse. The only downside is the non-functional USB it has.
At 10-12€, it is a decent cooling base for a 15.6" laptop. It is convenient with the viewing angles and requires a little attention as it is not suitable for heavy use since the plastic is relatively flexible. Also, be careful with the two clips that hold the laptop when it is in a vertical position, as they can come out of their place or even worse, break their "teeth" that latch. The two fans rotate steadily at one speed and are audible. It can be cleaned internally by lifting the metal brackets that hold the mesh under the base with a screwdriver. Overall, it is the ultimate value for money in this price range.
I have it in my hands for 2 days now. I have noticed a slight difference in the temperature of the processor (3-4°C) and 5-6°C in the graphics card. It's great.
It is used on the razer blade 15 2020 base, and for its price, it is very good. I played shadow of the tomb raider with and without the stand, and the result is that it reduces the temperature on the GPU by almost 6 degrees and on the CPU by almost 4 degrees. The size does not prohibit a 17-inch laptop, but depending on the laptop, it may protrude slightly. However, for a 15-inch or 14-inch laptop, the size is ideal.
I bought it for 20 euros. I believe that for a gaming laptop, especially one that is used for long periods of time and gets very hot, it does not cool adequately. Other than that, it is good. It is large in size and comfortable, but one downside is that the height adjustment scales are made of plastic and break easily
Very low quality materials and as soon as I connected it, one fan sounds like an old fishing boat! It makes a banging noise while spinning, even though I checked that it's not hitting anything! I believe I simply wasted my money. I suggest you look for something else...
I received it today, it is of average quality, made of plastic.
I had a Notepal aluminum with 3 fans for years, but they stopped working, nevertheless it kept the metal relatively cool and lifting the laptop made a difference. However, in the summer the conditions change and I was seeing 65+ GPU temperatures with SpeedFan v4.52. With the U-Pal, without much effort, I see a sudden drop in temperature every time it reaches 50-52, I estimate about 6-7 degrees lower, under normal use. For its price and as a first try, it does what I wanted.
Noise is not an issue with new fans, we'll see in the future when they wear out.
Now the negatives.
The tilt of the base is incredibly uncomfortable, as others have mentioned. Who will raise the laptop so high? The minimum angle of elevation is already too big for me. Don't expect to use the laptop keyboard comfortably with the "ears" that the base has. For these "ergonomic" reasons, it gets a minus star.
-update 28.06.2021
I'm adding a 5th star, as I went through a heatwave and I saw the temperature barely reaching 50 on the GPU and immediately dropping. In combination with the excellent SpeedFan v4.52, which also adjusts the speed of the laptop fan, I was saved.

It works without problems after 2 years, it needs frequent cleaning, the noise has increased but it's not bothersome.
Unfortunately, it doesn't suit my setup because the minimum tilt it has is too high (I think it's 20 degrees) and at the same time, the surface in this tilt is not anti-slip enough to prevent the laptop from sliding, so you have to open these "little ears" it has to hold it down. However, these "little ears" are annoying and you can't use the keyboard and trackpad (I don't use an external one for several reasons). In the end, I ended up putting a pen between the surface and the little stand so that I have it at around 10 degrees and can somewhat do my work.
As for the temperature, it has done something (3-4 degrees lower) but I was expecting more to be honest. Finally, for now, it doesn't make any noise.
I think I will search to find another stand though and give this one away or put it in the closet.
I consider it overpriced. The build quality is mediocre. Its fans make more noise than the laptop itself. The USB port is not very stable for connecting other devices to it. However, it has lowered the temperature of my corporate laptop, so it does its job with some compromises
After 1 week, I am very satisfied. The noise is minimal, smaller than the noise of the laptop fan. It has several tilt levels, and it cools the laptop incredibly. I feel the cold air on my fingers while typing. Definitely, the construction is not for walking around the house. First, I move the laptop and then the stand, after I close it.
I have 2 of these stands, one for my work laptop and one for my personal laptop. They come very close to the height of the desk screen and are very convenient when working or playing for long hours. I don't have an opinion on the cooling function because their main use is simply as a stand. It is definitely nice to have, but I didn't buy them with this function in mind. The quality of the plastics is not perfect, but it doesn't bother me much.
Quite a good and economical base. Its only drawback for now is that the smallest available tilt level is relatively large compared to other bases I have tried in the past!
I have this particular stand for over 5 years. It is worth choosing for those who have laptops with a screen size of 15.6 inches. The only downside is the ear on its USB port. This issue can be solved with an external USB hub.
I bought the morning after a lot of searching... I think it is ideal for its job and very pleasant... It makes a little noise but nothing terrible... What I realized bothers me after 3 weeks of having it is that the clips that hold the laptop, if you do something and you have to write continuously after a while they bother you because they press on the wrist... Other than that, the problem is minimal to none... Take it with your eyes closed
One week of continuous use and everything is perfect. The positions are incredibly comfortable!! The laptop never overheated, always cool. Regarding the noise, it is not something annoying, especially if playing music or watching a video, you can't hear anything. Good purchase.
It does its job just fine, it lowered the temperature by about 10-15 degrees. It does make a bit of noise, and it doesn't cool the center of the laptop because it has the gap...
