Keeping Your (Notebook’s) Cool
Is your notebook overheating? Burning the little laps in your class? Or are your notebooks just losing their cool? All these are symptoms of older systems with clogged or worn-out cooling fans. You have two choices: open the system up and clean out all the dust bunnies and maybe replace the fan so it works like it did when new or get a notebook cooler, like Xbrand’s Lap Lounge. At $50, it’s the quickest and easiest way to deal with a hot notebook because its 11-blade fan runs on USB power and can cool even the largest 19-inch laptop. Lap Lounge also adjusts to provide a comfortable tilt to the system and comes with a 1-year warranty.
