The Gigabyte G-Pad Pro is a great notebook cooling pad. It should be especially interesting to users who use their notebook at home or in the office a lot, as it greatly increases the comfort. Simply raise the feet in the back and the angle of the notebook is perfect for longer typing sessions. The G-Pad Pro also does cool the notebook, but the differences are not very large. The most dangerous aspect of the pad are its sharp edges, so you better take extra care when handling the rather heavy unit. A drop or bump will leave a mark on your notebook. Gigabyte has also included bags and a fan which also has a stand so it can be used as a ventilator on your desk. There is only so much you can do with a notebook cooler as there is no real thermal interface like the paste used on CPU heatsinks and the G-Pad Pro works well. If you do not need the added fan or the ability to raise the rear, simply go for the normal G-Pad, which features a similar shape without the extras.
