Review on 💻 USB-Powered Notebook Cooler by Antec by Stephen Vasquez

Buying a USB powered laptop cooler from Antec is an easy choice from the many different options available here and elsewhere. I think most of the other reviewers here have covered the main points well and I see no reason to go back and restate everything that has been said before so I'll keep this review short and sweet with a few caveats for use the personal. Now let's face it because we're all here to get the best deal for our hard-earned money, right? Check out this great laptop cooler from Antec. If you can pay around $25 to ship a cooler that does its job quietly, reliably, and *safely* isolating laptop heat from our legs, knees, and hips, then that's a steal. I think so, and add those personally noted pluses++ for Antec's USB-powered laptop cooler, and we have the Wavey Davey 5-Star Performance Award, once again in the heat of competition with all those expensive and risky coolers. from other manufacturers. CUHL's design first, right? I like the "Star Design" with a strong but lightweight ABS plastic (mine is black and silver) holding the top conductive aluminum alloy surface, the part that actually touches the laptop. And you want that part to be metal if possible because its convection capacity is better than coated plastic or cardboard, whatever those other laptop coolers use: the Antec design is superior to other coolers sold here and elsewhere. Next, the fans are dual ball bearing and completely silent with a nominal noise figure of 27dB (decibels), which is the bare minimum and XLNT at best. These fans push a lot of air through and around the bottom vents of a regular laptop and out the sides where most laptops have exhaust vents. The fans have high and low switches, which is nice, but due to the fact that I've used two completely different laptops last year, one from the newer Sony FW series and the other from the Acer 5920 series, I have just left the switch on. "Low" and it does its work almost silently. Next to the fan switch on the right is a very, very bright blue LED for the "I'm running and ON" signaling sign, and most people will probably assume that this LED is off. too bright and it! The only real downside to this great design concept is that LED, and it's so bright it pierces the dark and quiet night of the room and illuminates it a bit! So I took a piece of black tape and stuck it over both LEDs on our radiators and it fixed that little issue. Fans accumulate a lot of dust and debris if you run the cooler 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. like ours so just take it to the street/garage and blow air out of your air compressor (if you have such a unit which I have) it will all blow it away for further efficient and effective cooling. I clean both of our coolers monthly since they run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week literally all the time because both laptops are doing Folding@Home for Stanford University when not being used for normal things so the coolers on achieve good result. Train with us at home. The Antec laptop cooler is also covered by an extensive warranty, as far as I recall it is a 3 year factory warranty. Even if you manage to burn it and use it during that time, Antec will replace it. if it's not under warranty. This is another positive aspect compared to other coolers here at Revain and elsewhere. In conclusion, since I promised to give this short and sweet review, I am very satisfied with the purchase of two such high quality laptop coolers, with excellent design and functionality. for about $50, with one being sold here for less than $25 and another for just over $25. I just don't think there is anything else on the market that works as well, is this cheap, and has a great 3 year manufacturer's warranty should anything go wrong within 3 long, hard years of service. This device is a must have and I fully support the Antec USB powered laptop cooler 100%. I give it a 5 star seal of quality from Wavey Davey! You just can't go wrong with one of these for $25 or so, so forget the rest, it's the best! Wavey Davey 8-14-2009
