Akasa Laptop Cooler Views
Testing: For this review I am over course utilizing my laptop with the cooler plugged into the USB. For ergonomics this Akasa Everest does create a comfortable typing position. The six levels are helpful, albeit it is a tad high for me even on the lowest elevation. It is holding the laptop steady and no slipping is evident. The bottom lip keeps the unit in place. It does cover my mic and headphone jacks. They may not be on the front of your laptop but they are on mine. I have been testing my laptop with and without the Akasa Everest and noting the temperatures on SpeedFan. For this review I even compared the specs with prior reviews. It holds up well, you can look at our others on the site.
I 'm not too big of a laptop user because of three reasons: heat, battery life, and performance. Some other minor reasons include lack of drive space and ports. My old Dell Vostro 1500 equipped with the nVidia GeForce 8600 GT (fast for its time) gets very hot-- so hot in fact that if I use it on my lap it can give me red marks from the heat. A great solution to the heat problem as well as adding ports and potentially even drive space is the Akasa Everest notebook cooler.
The Everest really made me start to utilize my laptop more again. Using it more as a desktop that I can carry around if I have to makes it more practical. I plugged a USB keyboard and mouse in and it was a great desktop replacement. The quiet and cool fans kept it running smoothly. I noticed a 10eordm; C drop in CPU and GPU temperatures with the fan on the low setting while playing Counter-strike Source. As far as I am concerned, this product was an extremely useful addition to my laptop. It made it practical again after weeks of no use-- being replaced by my desktop and netbook. Spring a little life back into your laptop and make it more functional and cooler in the process with the Akasa Everest.
