ZDNET Adds 2 Cooling Pads to 2026 Best Laptop List, Keeps Llano V12 on Top

Summary
June 2026 brought two new entries to ZDNET’s best laptop cooling pads list: the Liangstar Laptop Cooling Pad and the IETS GT20UB vacuum cooler, while older models were removed.
Llano’s V12 Gaming Laptop Cooling Pad remained the top overall pick after testing focused on cooling performance, ergonomics, fan design, price and extra features.
ZDNET said the refreshed rankings still span distinct use cases, with Liangstar positioned as a budget option, Razer aimed at gamers and Havit’s HV-F2056 suited for office use.
Testing used a heat-prone Alienware Area 51 and a slimmer HP OmniBook 3, alongside user feedback from Amazon, Reddit and other consumer sites.
The update comes in a category ZDNET described as relatively static, with few major product shifts since Razer’s 2024 launch and IETS’ unreleased GT300 Plus still pending.
