Jetart NP8800 miniStand Laptop Cooler
The Results:
While running the stress test, my laptop got a lot hotter than I originally thought it might. I had to quickly look up the thermal threshold for my model of Core 2 Duo to make sure I wasn't frying it. Turns out the Core 2 Duo is more resilient than I thought (they actually have a thermal threshold of 100°C). After I was finished panicking, I was pleased to see that the laptop cooler actually made a reasonable difference in temperature.
Conclusion:The NP8800 does exactly what it says it's supposed to do. It's hard to find faults with a product that delivers on its sales pitch. Even though there wasn't a dramatic decrease in temperature (this is partly because the Sager NP2090 has a fairly decent fan). Users with poorly cooled laptops (such as the MacBook Air) will see greater results. The effectiveness of cooling can also depend on the placement of the hardware inside of the laptop (The NP8800's fan is located at the center of the unit) and the laptop case material (plastic vs. metal). The NP8800, in addition to cooling, raises the laptop to a comfortable angle to make typing easier. For only $20.99, the NP8800 is worth the trade-off of hot pants and potential heat damage to your laptop. REALTIME PRICING |
