ArtDio USB Audio Bar and Cooling Fan for Laptop or Netbook (72-BP301)

I got this setup for a friend who was looking for a soundbar. He was also thinking of getting a cooling pad for his new laptop. When I found this, i thought it might fit the bill. And if it turned out not to work, I wouldn't be out by much. This came in two peaces. the soundbar and the cooling fan. Cooling fan? I'll get to that later. The soundbar is good, it fits on an 11 inch laptop screen and sounds good. I wasn't expecting much, but compared to speakers that sound like netbook speakers, it sounded much better and filled a quiet room. This alone, I would have payed the $7.99 for. I was expecting a cooling pad for alptop to set on. Whagt I was was a cooling fan with four rods to put on the corners of the laptop. If the fan is running you can easally get your finger or hang stung by the fun. With this said, I don't think I'll be putting my laptop on my lap with this fan in place. Get this set for the soundbar if you're lookinf for something to make netbook speakers sound better, don't get it for the fan.

A heckuva lot louder than my crappy Chromebook speakers, and sits nicely on top of the screen so it doesn't take up much space.

Much better sound than the Toshiba laptop speaker.

Decent speakers

I like it, product is as described.

Was not satisfied with product. Speaker is junk and fan is junk.

I bought this because my laptop has a habit of overheating. The sound bar was an added bonus. The products themselves are OK. The fan is quiet, but also not too powerful. My laptop has still overheated, but it does help a bit. The sound bar amplifies some, but it's not earth-shatteringly loud.The biggest drawback on this item is the USB plug itself. While it's great that it doesn't block the USB port on your computer, the edges are EXTREMELY sharp! I have sliced myself on 3 different occasions where I have drawn blood. I will probably take some electrical tape to it so I can save myself from the pain and excessive band-aid use. Unfortunately, that will render the extra port useless.

I purchased this at a discount store for $5.99 - I already had a cooling fan for my laptop so I was only interested in the audio bar - how could I go wrong for this price. I have a Gateway laptop and the speakers are adequate but not great. The audio bar works great. I now have to turn down the volume which is what I was looking for.
