Buying Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler


I saw the reviews (including the Antec Unbeatable Notebook Cooler 200) and shopped around. I ended up with this model as it was half the cost. So far I've been really pleased. I downloaded a free temperature monitor utility CPUID HWMonitor. Before using the Antec cooler, my laptop (Lenovo T43) ran so hot after an hour, that I could literally not touch it on the bottom or use it on my lap... Even the keyboard heated up. When I installed the CPUID software, it showed a 175 degree temperature. Yikes. When I used the Antec cooler, the temperature dropped to a max of 147, but hoovers around 118 or 125. The laptop is noticeably cooler and I couldn't be happier with it. I've not used it on a plane yet to see its effect on battery life... We'll see. I'm only giving it 4 stars for now as I do not have enough experience with it yet, and it does seem a little light, so I don't know how durable it will be...Get more detail about Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler.
