Computer cooling company Arctic Cooling has just released a compact USB-powered laptop cooler called the Arctic NC. Unlike cooling pads that act as platforms under the laptop, the Arctic NC works as a ledge for propping the back of the laptop onto.
Two 60mm fans behind the laptop suck the air in, and the horizontal exhaust blows out the air under the laptop for more effective cooling– if this works like Antec’s Notebook Cooler To Go, which sports the same form factor, then it’s definitely more powerful than a slim cooling pad with weak fans.
Compatible with laptops from 12 to 19-inches, the Arctic NC also adds four USB ports for connecting other devices, and a fan speed controller for setting the fan speed from 800rpm (for quiet, energy-efficient operation) to 1,700rpm for maximum cooling performance.
Available in two colors (silver-grey and black), the Arctic NC has an MSRP of $31.50 (excluding taxes).
