If you’re having heat issues with your Notebook, then the Antec Notebook Cooler is the answer to your problems.

How A Notebook Keeps Cool:

Notebooks are tightly packed devices, that have many many components all in a small, enclosed space. Obviously this is done so that Laptops are portable and lightweight, so we can carry them around in our backpacks and sit them comfortably on our laps. But this compact portability comes at a price, and it’s often clearly experienced by many users as a ‘hot’ laptop.

The CPU (Central Processing Unit) and GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) within a Notebook are massive heat generating power stations. They have tiny heat-sinks attached to them, which help dissipate the heat. Also, they usually feature either 1) Side or Bottom vents and / or, 2) Exhaust Fans. Whilst these are designed to keep your laptop cool, they don’t ALWAYS work as intended.

What Happens When A Notebook Overheats?

An overheating notebook can cause many problems. The first, most obvious issue is one that directly affects the user, and that is a surface that is hot to the touch. A lot of laptop users find they cannot put a notebook on their lap because the bottom surface is too hot, and will burn their skin. Kind of defeats the definition of a ‘Laptop’ doesn’t it?

Secondly, an overheating notebook may cause problems with day to day tasks you normally run on a computer. Programs may crash, causing you to lose work, and it is not uncommon for the entire operating system (Windows, OSX, Linux, etc…) to come to a complete stop, freezing up and preventing any further operation.

Thirdly is the risk of internal damage. Notebooks have been known to actually catch alight, with their insides burning up. This is more of an issue these days with Laptops that feature Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) Batteries, as these large batteries are quite flammable.

The Benefits Of The Antec Notebook Cooler.

What the Antec Notebook Cooler does is create a surface which assists any laptop or notebook into releasing and dispersing hot air & temperatures as quickly and efficiently as possible. The way it does this is quite simple, yet very effective. Using a aluminum surface, is creates a massive heat-sink, which draws heat AWAY from the bottom of a notebook. Then, to disperse the temperature away completely, the Antec Notebook Cooler has a series of super quiet fans, that cool the whole resting surface down.

Users of this ingenious device have reported that it works very well to bring down heat. The design of the Notebook Cooler is well thought out. It’s fans are super quiet, running at a very low 26 decibels, and it plugs directly into your USB Port, and offers a pass through USB Port, so  you still have room to plug in another device to USB. We think it’s a worthwhile investment, as it will save you countless hours of downtime and frustration that could be caused by a overheating laptop.

The Antec Notebook Cooler works with both PC’s and MAC’s, is priced around $30 US, and comes with a Three Year Warranty.
