Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Zalman NC1000-S Notebook Cooler (Silver)Customer Review: Notebook cooler very helpful Summary: 5 Stars
Before I start my review let me make one thing very clear, this is in no way shape or form necessary for your laptop. If you have a more recent laptop, chances are that your laptop is capable of cooling just fine on its own. Moving on:
This laptop cooler is great. It works wonders. I personally own a MacBookPro 15" widescreen. The only visible issue is that the laptop hangs off the sides about half an inch per side.
But other then that this is a great item to have on your desk. Its also
great to use if you will be on an uneven surface like a bed or carpet. I would not recommend having this on your lap though because itmay cause discomfort which is the only downside I see.
I can easily use this bad boy and drop my temp 10*+ C. I do some gaming so my laptop tends to run hot. Of course my fans are very capable of doing the same if I crank up the RPM by the thousands. It comes with a dial on the side so you can turn up or down the fans and the speeds vary quite a bit providing you with the power to monitor your own cooling process. I usually turn up my fan to max if I see my laptop getting to the 60*C+ mark (which isnt that bad but why let it run hotter then it needs to?)
But let me put it like this. If you have a 1976 ford truck and a new ferrari, and you have to drive everyday, which one do you put the miles on? I'd save my Rrari for the weekends. So I leave my fans on low becuase I know during school I won't be lugging this cooler around with me but I wont mind my fans will be in good shape in case I have to turn them up a level.
Another upside is that even at the highest setting, it is barely audible. Sounds like your A/C vents in the backround. I'm pretty sure its not even as loud as your built in fans when they are actually running at a noticeable RPM. It does not use much battery power either.
Hooks up to your laptop via USB. But to make up for it the cooler itself has 2 USB ports so you lose 1 but gain 2.
In conclusion, if you would like to invest in your laptops survivability and extend its new-like condition, then this is for you. But as I said this is reccomended for the heavier users who have their systems running hot due to demanding programs (gaming, video-making, auto cad, etc.).
Opinion- It is worth the money for the benefits you can attain through having this product. Cool laptop = happy me.
