With notebook shipments continuing to increase, it’s only a matter of time before the scale tips and more notebooks are sold than desktops. With the increased availability of powerful CPUs in a small package, having a laptop doesn’t necessarily mean working with a slow(er) machine. While the power usage of these portable processors is kept low to provide longer battery life, they still give of quite a bit of heat. The need for extra notebook cooling is twofold. The most obvious is to reduce the heat produced by the laptop, preventing skin burn, secondly, by reducing the operating temperature of the CPU, the internal fan will spin slower and thus make your notebook less noisy. The last depends very much on what fan is used inside your laptop and also what fans are installed in the notebook cooler… if the cooler adds more noise than it reduces, it’s not really helping. In our article today we take a closer look at seven different products, some have similar design, while others are quite unique in form and function.  Ordered by weight we present you with the following test candidates:  Test Setup and Methodology The test setup consists of an Acer laptop with the following specs: Acer Aspire 9423WSMiB (C2D-T5500 1.66Ghz/17"/2GB/160GB/DVDRW/VU)  With an IR thermometer we measured two areas of the laptop: We used Intel Thermal Analysis Tool to load the two Cores of the CPU, and measure maximum Core temperature.  Each laptop cooler will change the angle of your laptop, we took a picture and eye height to let you see how the angle changes with every cooler installed. Onto the first candidate ->  More reviews in this category can be found below: |
