The Laptop Fever Problem

On this episode of TechKnowledgey I talk about a problem everyone with laptops has: The Laptop Fever Problem. What I mean to say by that is laptops are just not meant to get too hot, the problem is that everyday use causes them to heat up. Every laptop has this problem, and this can significantly reduce the life of your notebook computer.

So what’s a TechKnowledgist to do? Well, you can go out and buy yourself a cooling pad, but I have anumber of problems with these. For one, they are bulky and expensive. Worst of all, they don’t go with you when your laptop is out of the house! When you need it most you don’t have any sort of cooling! I have searched a while for a solution, and I believe I have found it. Enter, Laptop Lifts, from http://laptoplifts.com/. This is what I truly believe to be, even more so than all those cooling pads, the solution to the Laptop Fever Problem is.

They are small rubber strips that you attach to the bottom of your laptop allowing airflow beneath it. This way the built in fans in your notebook can move the hot air away and circulate in new, cooler air. Plus, think about it – they add no bulk and are always with you. Unlike the cooling pads, they don’t just bandaid the problem by blowing cool air at the laptop, they fix the problem! They create circulation which is exactly what you want! Plus, they’re cheap at only about 10 bucks on Amazon.

I have been using Laptop Lifts now for a few days, and after a little bit of getting used to, I love them! They have significantly reduced the temperature of my laptop by close to 10 degrees! A big thank you to Chris Adams for sending me along a set to review and use in this episode of TechKnowledgey! He also sent along a second set for me to give away to one of you! Details on that in a future video, though…

In the meantime, what are you waiting for?! Go out and get yourself a pair! I’m telling you your laptop needs it and you won’t regret buying these!
