Question... Does Size Matter?

It says TECH question! I’m looking for a laptop cooling pad that works via USB port. Four or five fans, under $25 and rated highly.

I see they go by size. My laptop is ten inches (10”) I believe and many are for twelve inches (12”) and bigger.

I know if I get fifteen inches (15”) the fans won’t be under the laptop correctly. But will a few inches matter?

The laptop is only used a few times a month. It’s not new so I fear overheating by old components. I use it while lying on my side; it sits on my sheets. Yesterday I went to put it the case and my sheets were hot. I have a silicone air mattress pad and didn’t want to scorch it.

On Amazon, do you recommend any model or feature that I’d need? I see the pads with legs but I need the fans. USB as I have a lamp with two usb outlets.

Thanks
