Laptop Cooler
A laptop cooler, also called a chill mat, is an attachment that helps to reduce the increasing heat on the bottom of the device. The fan that is embedded in the laptop is really not able to cool the laptop appropriately. A cooling pad has several fans inside of it and it can be placed right below the laptop. There are many laptop coolers that use a power adapter as a power source. However, the most up to date versions of a chill pad use the USP port on the laptop. Also, the more advanced chill pad’s offer an insert for memory sticks or key drives.
The chill mat’s that are powered to the computer are made to draw heat from the bottom of the computer. Other coolers are designed to blow cool air towards the laptop using fans. The speed of the fans can be adjusted manually or automatically depending on the model. Chill pads that hook into the computer are always not the best appliance. The fact that the pad has to plug into the the computer, means that the computer will have to carry an additional load of power. Many laptops today only supply a 2.5 watt of power in the USB port.
There were many studies conducted at the California Polytechnic University in regards to the heat resource on a laptop computer. The results showed that chill pads that required a hook up reduced the life of the laptop. However, if the laptop was lifted from the bottom so that it was at an angle, the heat was able free flow away from the laptop. This was the only proven method of cooling that was successful long term. There are many coolers on the market that are built in such a way that the laptop is lifted from the top. It also allows the user to have a better access at the keys without their wrists being damaged.
The newest cooler on the market that utilizes the angle mechanism is the Targus CoolPad. The CoolPad helps prevent the user from being burned and prevents the laptop from overheating at the same time. The top portion of the laptop is lifted at an angle so that the air is able to flow freely. The pad also has a feature that allows the user to turn the device in a complete 360 degree turn to show another person the computer screen.
Many students are finding the pad useful due to the lightweight feel of the device. There are several copy cat versions of the CoolPad on the market as well, but they do not have the turning mechanism. They may be a little cheaper in price but the quality is not very great. The CoolPad may be more than one might want to spend but the outcome of the product and the quality will last.
