Laptops, like regular computers, get warm during operation. If you can solve the problem of overheating the desktop PC by installing an additional fan or cooler, then with a laptop this option is unrealistic. The cooling stand can solve the problem of overheating.
To reduce the temperature of the internal elements of the computer using air systems. Air through special slots in the bottom and through the keyboard goes inside, where it is driven inside the case with the help of built-in fans and exits through the slots that are located at the ends of the case. Therefore, the laptop is not recommended to be placed on soft surfaces or to close the lid without turning off the computer. In this case, the air flow decreases and overheating can occur.
Cooling can be improved by increasing the amount of air that passes through the laptop and lowering its temperature. These tasks are solved by a cooling stand for a laptop. It contains a fan that blows into the bottom of the laptop, increasing airflow and promoting better
cooling. Ideally, the holes in the stand should match the holes in the bottom of the computer. A
cooling stand
for a laptop can reduce the temperature of internal elements by 5-15 ° C. Having a slight slope, this stand increases working comfort: the position of the hands becomes more convenient and the viewing angle of the keyboard increases.
When choosing this device, pay attention to the fan speed, bearing type and number of fans. The type of bearing depends on the noise level that the laptop stand creates with cooling during operation. The most silent among the bearings is hydrodynamic, then comes the centrifugal one, the plain bearing is the most noisy .
The cooling ability of this device depends on the number of fans and the speed of their rotation. It is clear that the higher the speed of rotation of the blades, the more powerful air flow will be created. At a speed of rotation of 2200 rpm,
the processor temperature decreases by 10
° C, and at 1600 - by 5 ° C. It is very convenient if the laptop stand with cooling has a speed switch: for different intensity of use or for different temperature conditions, you can use cooling modes.
The stand is powered via the USB input of the laptop, and in order to compensate for the busy port, the stand has its own USB connectors. Some models are equipped with compartments for installing a hard drive or USB Hub (for example, in the Zalman ZM-NC2500Plus), speakers (Logitech LapDesk N700). But keep in mind that these "bells and whistles" significantly increase the cost of the device, and if there is no need for them, then it is unreasonable to overpay for excesses.
The model range includes a Logitech LapDesk N700 lap stand for laptops; the LogitechCoolingPadN120 modification has an almost flat bottom, so it is quite convenient to use on your lap and on the table. Among a large number of different coasters of different designs, colors made of different materials with different characteristics, you can easily find the option that will be most suitable for you.
