Does this look worth it?

Basically a Cooling stand and USB 2.0 hub in one. It would be useful as my current USB hub is only 1.1 and it would provide some extra ventilation so has anyone got one or would you recommend it?

The thing to keep in mind is that if your laptop is USB 1.1 then the devices plugged in to this hub will go no faster, it might however stop Windows from moaning about a 2.0 device in a 1.1 slot.
The laptop is USB 2.0 but i got a 1.1 hub because i was in a cheapskate mood but it would be to stop popups saying that devices can operate faster. Is the cooling just a gimmick or would i benefit from it?R1 GTR said:

It can be useful to have additional cooling, especially if you're using a high end 'gaming' style laptop and thrashing it all the time. Most of them tend to have hallow bottoms so can't be easily used on your lap though, much better for a desk arrangement.
It depends how mobile you are, the style of laptop and what you do with it and where.
