Belkin Laptop Coolstrip - Tech Review
If I was to show you this, I don’t know what you would guess what it was, I mean it could be a number of different things. It could be about a body massager, you know it’s definitely not a wrist par or it could actually be a wrist pad for a keyboard tray. But believe it or not, it’s a device that helps keep your laptop or you’re certain desktop replacement laptop cooler when it runs
It’s made from a company called Belkin, it cost about $20.00 but it’s an ingenious little device that they’ve invented and I’ll just show you how it works. I’ve got a rather large laptop here. This is actually the alien ware M17 and this thing gets smoking hot, its got the quad core processor in it, its got two video cards built into it, so what you want for any computer that you have whether it’s a regular laptop or one of this big desktop replacement types is you want to keep them running cooler.
Laptops or any computer run better when they’re cooler, I’ll show you how this works, its really simple. You simply put the device here, just a couple of things that are coming into play. One is that it actually creates an angle in which the laptop is sitting as well and that’s actually a good position ergonomically for you to be in but in addition to that, its lifting up the laptop giving you know the fans the ability to clear the air. But its also allowing cool air to go in underneath and because its got this little knobs that stick up, they allow basically for that air to flow all the way through it, so really simple. It cost $20.00, you would be surprised at the performance increase that you’re going to get and I’ll just show you an example here.
If we can just kind of take a look at the screen, we’ve actually put a core temperature software on this computer. It’s measuring the heat on both of our processors that are inside of this computer and when I started running this computer and I had a couple of games going, we’re up to about 55 degrees. We can see here that we’re not toggling between 48 and 47 degrees and the longer that I let that sit up there, the more it’s going to come down. If I let this thing go for you know a couple of minutes I’d be able to show you that we’re going to drop to about 42, 43 degrees on those processors. That’s a great temperature that you want to be at, so again it’s from Belkin, it’s a way to cool down your laptops, it might be even kind of fun to play around with in the office afterwards.
