Antec Notebook Cooler 200

Zitat: I tried out the Notebook Cooler 200 on my lap, sitting around on the couch or even in my chair here to edit images or surf the web. What I found it that unless you have a really wide and flat lap, the 200 doesn’t stay level well, nor is it comfortable on your legs over a period of use. This cooler is definitely designed to sit on a flat surface like a desk or table. Over the past couple of weeks I have been using the 200 under my Lenovo for day to day usage. The most drastic improvement I saw was that my left hand was no longer on fire from the heat that typically dumps out of my hard drive. With 115 CFM of air flow over the 200mm diameter area, the 200 offers the best cooling solution of the two I have tested. Antec offers a slick looking industrial framework and touches of clear and mirrored plastic. Once the LED lighting is turned on, the fan and the plastic reflect the glow of blue LEDs. The only thing is, you end up covering up all of that flashy looking styling. I’m in no way suggesting you abuse your cooler as I did when I tested its structural integrity. During which I found that this cooler is very solid and will take as much abuse as normal usage is going to deliver. I was so impressed with the 200 that it has made a permanent home under my Lenovo. Even while just surfing the internet, I can feel the cool breeze passing through the keyboard and keeping my hands cool and dry. The bottom line as to any product is the cost. I mentioned earlier that to get this notebook cooler to your house it is going to be around $70 US dollars. Even though I don’t game on my laptop a lot, there is a level of comfort that I see in the equation of the 200’s pricing. What I mean to say is that by using the Notebook Cooler 200, I get to enjoy using my Lenovo in everyday situations more now than I could before. I don’t burn my palm on the hard drive, and I get dry cool hands on top of it. I know my testing candidates are somewhat limited, but I would easily pay the $59.99 that Newegg.com is asking. As I say, the Notebook Cooler 200 made itself a permanent home on my desk, and it should be making one on yours!

Zitat: Poleca Plusy: + wygląd + jakość wykonania + kultura pracy wentylatora + wygoda użytkowania Minusy: - brak huba USB - cena Antec Notebook Cooler 200 pokazał jak bardzo można poprawić chłodzenie laptopa. Bowiem temperatury spadły do granic "normalności" jaką znam z pecetów. Procesor już się nie gotuje, mostek północny też odetchnął, a o dysku twardym już nie wspominam - bo obniżenie temperatury jego pracy wpłynie pozytywnie na jego żywotność i bezpieczeństwo danych. Ponad to laptopa umieszczonego na produkcie firmy Antec, używa się wygodniej. Zatem czy Notebook Cooler 200 ma jakieś wady? Tak, bowiem zasilany jest on z portu USB. Dla mnie to minus bowiem przy dwóch zewnętrznych portach USB w moim komputerze, strata jednego to, duża strata. Producent mógłby postarać się o wyposażenie w takim przypadku swojego produktu w hub USB. Poza tym cena, produkt Antec´a kosztuje ponad 250 zł (dane z listopada 2009). Jednak gdy potrzebujemy solidnego i skutecznego chłodzenia, oraz mamy odpowiednie fundusze, powinniśmy rozważyć kupno Antec Notebook Cooler 200. Jest to produkt na wysokim poziomie, który stawione mu zadania spełnia w 100%.

Zitat: Pros: + Cooling benefits in all situations on all components + Quiet cooling + Good looking + USB powered (only draws 400mA) + Ability to use it on your lap Cons: - No USB hub The Antec Notebook Cooler 200 has one of the largest fans I have seen in a computer cooling device and that large fan lives up to its looks. With impressive cooling power, the Notebook Cooler 200 definitely deserves high marks. Also, between the mirror panels and the blue glow that you can turn on around the fan, the aesthetics of the cooler are also very nice. Another bonus of the large fan size is the softer and lower fan noise that the cooler makes when the fan is turned on. Even at the high setting, the amount of noise emitted by the cooler is minimal and did not annoy me at all. Additionally, the design that allows this cooler to be used either on a desk or on your lap is genius. Most laptop coolers feel very uncomfortable when they are used on your lap and having one that can be used in such a way is awesome, especially with the super hot laptops that seem to be flooding the market now. The only downside to the cooler is its lack of USB ports, which isn´t a deal breaker, but would have been a nice addition to an already great product.

Zitat: This laptop cooler has everything you could wish for : nice looks, good quality materials and also efficient. The fan did its job perfectly even if my laptop does not feature an intake fan under the laptop. Also, if you do to LAN parties, you can get yourself remarked with this cooler. The persons that own laptop coolers with intake fans will experience much lower temperatures compared to mine. The cooler is rated 65$, and if you are not bothered by this, its one of the best cooling solutions on the market from Antec. The only extra feature that could have been implemented would be a USB hub, because the USB port that the cooler uses to get power, remains occupied. Also, I have liked a lot that you can turn on or off the LEDs, and that it was the most silent compared to the other 2 laptop coolers from Antec.

Zitat: Pros: + Solid construction + keeps your laptop cool + stylish blue LED lighting + powered by USB Cons: - Expensive for a cooler Excellent laptop cooler for hardcore gamers with extreme machines & deep pockets
