Introduction
Computers are consistently getting growing more and more powerful, and with these more powerful, energy demanding components, cooling suddenly becomes a bigger factor than ever before. Back in the Intel 486 day's, we could have fanless laptops, but today, that is a completely different story. In a desktop computer, if you are running rather warm, it's usually as simple as replacing a cooler, or adding an additional case fan or even watercooling. However, in a laptop these options are not possible, and the third option is most certainly not possible. USB laptop "chill" pads are becoming more and more popular, but how many of you have actually got the chill pad, only to find out that it does not cool your warmest components? That's where NZXT Cryo S laptop chill pad looks to be different. Complete with an aluminium body, dual 120mm cooling fans, and enough base to cover the standard 16:10 15.4” notebook computer, this design looks to perform well in helping to cool your notebook. Let's find out.
