Amazon Prime Day laptop cooling pad deals in the UK

Havit Cooling Pad 12-17"
Havit Cooling Pad 12-17": was £22.99 now £19.54 at Amazon

With an admittedly modest 15% discount, this is our go-to laptop cooling pad deal. Havit's cooling solution is suitable for 12- to 17-inch laptops, with three cooling fans, non-slip pads on the underside, and a USB passthrough that means you don't lose out on using your laptop's ports while it's plugged in.

Llano V10 SE
Llano V10 SE: was £109.99 now £84.99 at Amazon

A more powerful cooling pad designed for gaming laptops, which typically generate a lot more heat due to their discrete GPUs. There's a more expensive version with additional USB passthroughs and RGB lighting, but for my money, this one gets the job done for less.

PJExim 15-16 inch Laptop Sleeve with Cooling Stand
PJExim 15-16 inch Laptop Sleeve with Cooling Stand: was £25.99 now £22.09 at Amazon

Save £4 on this laptop sleeve with an included stand for propping up your laptop. There's no active cooling fans here; instead, it raises the laptop so its built-in fans can work better. Ideal for laptops with fan exhausts on the underside, like the MacBook Pro. It also includes a mouse pad and organized pouch for your peripherals.

Liangstar Laptop Cooling Pad
Liangstar Laptop Cooling Pad: was £22.89 now £16.94 at Amazon

Also suitable for 12- to 17-inch laptops, this cooling pad from Liangstar features six smaller fans for quieter operation, along with a detchable phone mount for those who like to keep their phone handy (though it doesn't pack a charger for the phone, which would've been a nice inclusion).
