Vantec LapCool, Continued
Conclusion
Both notebook coolers go about their actual duty quietly and reliably. If you place your laptop on soft surfaces (the sofa, a pile of paper), they really do let you avoid those pesky heat build-ups.
But the Vantec's power supply makes it unsuitable for couch use. That begs the question: what sense does such a cooling solution make for desktop use? Basically, both of these products reflect the completely avoidable fact that many notebooks are constructed fairly disastrously from a thermal point of view.
Notebook cooling solutions may just find a market here in the medium term, as many desktop replacement notebooks operate in the upper zone of thermal acceptability. Our recommendation: don't even consider a "hot" notebook in the first place.
