Heat dissipation is a contrast design struggle with mobile computers. As processing speeds increase, so do the size of laptops due to the elaborate cooling systems required to efficiently conduct heat away from the processor and other key components, such as the graphics processor and hard disk. An alternative solution to Antec's Laptop Cooler (£22.99 ex. VAT), Thermaltake's Notebook CoolPad could provide a more effective solution than relying solely on your laptop's built-in cooling mechanism. The Coolpad (330x148x21mm, 562g) sits underneath your laptop and cools it with two built-in 60mm fans (around 3000rpm) and aluminium heatsinks. The CoolPad is powered (5V) by your laptop's USB port, but an AC adapter is also provided if you don't have any free USB ports. The CoolPad also provides a 4-port USB 2.0 hub and has a claimed operating volume of 23dB.

Pros: Powered by USB port; retractable foot stand; USB 2.0 hub
Cons: Two fans mean additional laptop operating noise


Release: Thermal has become a critical task when maintaining a stable computer system. The world-class leader in thermal solution, today announced the extensible notebook cooler- CoolPad (CL-O0004). Extensible design of the CoolPad, it is compatible with all 8-15in. laptops. And the aluminium plate on the surface can keep you staying cool and also can help the heat spread.

This newly structured laptop cooling device is integrating by two low-noise 60mm fans with aluminium plate. Moreover, the optimised 60mm fans suppress the operating noise up to the whisper level of about 23dB, in turn enabling highly efficient laptop cooling performance.

Additionally, CoolPad can act as a standalone USB hub. Four USB ports to support your working platform and it also can make your operation more efficient.
