If your laptop runs too hot, try this solution. The post Coffee Break: Laptop Cooling Pad appeared first on Corporette.com.
My laptop has been running really hot lately — so much so that the heat it's giving off is making ME hot. (I probably don't want to know why it's doing this, though cat hair sucked inside may be the culprit. *sigh*)
There are a ton of options out there for cooling pads, but I chose this model (from one of those randomly-named Chinese brands at Amazon) because I used it for an old laptop and it worked just fine. It died at some point after I eventually passed it down to my son, so that's why I had to shop for one again.
This cooling stand contains six fans that illuminate blue LED lights when they're running, and you can run either three or six fans at once. They're pretty quiet — I don't hear them at all when I'm playing music on my computer — and otherwise, they produce some nice white noise. The pad comes with a cable to connect it to your computer and has two USB ports at the back.
I do have to point out that not everyone is a fan of laptop cooling stands, because they can blow dust into your computer and they're a power drain. (Maybe you could plug the stand into a charging block?) However, this one works well and I can't deal with the heat otherwise, at least in summer. Eh, pros and cons.
The laptop cooling pad is under $20 at Amazon and is available in two other colors at slightly different prices. It's designed for laptops 12″ to 17.3″, and for reference, my 15.6″ Lenovo leaves about an inch of space on each side.
