Cooler Master Aluminum Notebook Cooler with USB Hub
Reviewed By Our Editors
Laptops have been an essential electronic tool ever since it was created. Students and professionals alike carry their notebooks around, maximizing its function as a portable companion whenever emergency work is called for. Because of these tasks, laptop notebooks tend to overheat since they have to process multiple tasks in one sitting. Thus, notebook coolers such as the high performance Cooler Master Aluminum Notebook Cooler with USB Hub were born.
Notebook coolers add ventilation and help reduce the laptop’s operating temperature. They were designed either to draw heat from the underside of the computer or by blowing cool air towards the laptop. Although some make use of a power adapter for their power consumption, notebook coolers typically run on power drawn from the laptop’s USB ports. And just like the laptop, the notebook cooler has also evolved, containing more features aimed for user comfort and better performance.
More popularly known as the NOTEPAL, the Cooler Master Aluminum Notebook Cooler with USB Hub is just that. As Cooler Master’s high-quality all-aluminum notebook cooler, it efficiently reduces the notebook’s temperature via its special ergonomic, curve design that lifts your notebook PC at a certain angle, reducing heat build-up by 15 to 20 percent. It also contains two fans that help increase airflow and enhance heat dissipation. As the world’s first customized widescreen notebook cooler, it accommodates most notebook dimensions as well as enhances notebook stability and durability. And since its chassis is made of aluminum, the NOTEPAL is very sturdy, yet light, and does not bow or bend like the plastic versions.
The Cooler Master Aluminum Notebook Cooler with USB Hub’s unique design is another plus since it positions the laptop at a comfortable eye level to avoid strain on the eyes, wrists, and neck. Long-time users such as students who need to finish major papers and businessmen who have to rush financial statements will be pleased.
Since the NOTEPAL is powered by your laptop, there is no need to lug around extra batteries or adapters. And even if it takes up a USB slot, it provides two additional ports where you can connect your USB mouse, web cam, flash drive, or any other external peripheral device that you might need.
The NOTEPAL’s two virtually silent 70 mm fans are strategically positioned in such a way that it dissipates heat efficiently, with a rotating speed of 1500 rpm and a total airflow of 9.5 cfm. The fans can also be turned on and off courtesy of the On/Off Power button located right next to the USB ports.
With a fan life expectancy of 30,000 hours, the Cooler Master Aluminum Notebook Cooler with USB Hub is one notebook cooler you would want to get your hands on. The great performance it gives will surely wow you as no other notebook cooler can do what the NOTEPAL has to offer. And since Cooler Master is committed to its business philosophy of innovation, speed, and customer satisfaction, you are assured that this is the brand that other companies rely on in delivering the best solutions.
This is a great buy. Before I was averaging 52-60C but now its about 40c. Works very well, the only thing I wish it had was more Usb ports, particulary on the other side. Great buy!

I have an HP Pavilion zd8000 that I got as a ''desktop alternative'' - I use it 95% at home, and usually at the desk. It would overheat and shut down periodically with just standard use, nothing intense, and in minutes if one of my cats climbed up and sat behind it. I decided to try a notebook cooler, and based on other reviews decided to avoid the plastic ones. This has worked perfectly, my lap top has not shut down from heat since I installed regardless how long I putter around. It is unobtrusive. The angle is nice. My lap top is pretty large, not exactly designed for portability, with a 17'' screen almost 16'' wide and 11'' deep. The cooler fits perfectly width-wise, but the last 1.5'' of the computers depth hangs over the edge in back. So the front of the computer pops up maybe 1/4'' if I'm not typing. It is still stable, doesn't fall, and works great so I don't consider it a problem - but the fit isn't perfect. I wouldn't say it acts as a docking station, but it does it

I just bought this 4 days ago for my Alienware Aurora 9700 which ran really hot and would occasionally crash during hardcore gaming, not to mention almost melt threw my table.
::Performance::
Since I bought this cooler my laptop has drastically decreased in temperature and is now bareable to the touch. The Laptop fans also run about 50% of the time now, instead of non-stop.
::Value::
It's a little expensive considering it's just 2 fans and aluminum.
::Features::
I like how it slants my laptop and acts as a docking station
::Quality::
This is the big thing, it feels solid and is very clean looking. It is actually an accessory for my laptop that I'm not embarrassed to carry around and doesn't cramp my Alienware's look. Definitely a plus.

Great quality and craftsmanship! I love the aluminum chassis. It is very sturdy and doesn't bow and bend like the plastic versions. The two fans are virtually silent. The angle of the cooler is perfect and it makes typing so much easier and ergonomic. I love how it uses USB connectivity so you don't have to have any power cord attached to it making it extremely mobile. As far it functionality my laptop is a AMD 64x dual core possessor with 2gb DDR2 memory, 160 gb HDD. Before I bought this the bottom of my laptop was always extremely hot to the touch. On several occasions while working the unit hard it shut down due to overheating. It also would clock down and make my programs stall or take very long just to start up. Now the bottom of my PC is cool to the touch. My programs open up at least 50% faster and I know I have added much more life to my laptop by not allowing the heat to kill it at an early age like my last 2 laptops. I highly recommend buying this cooler.
