Antec’s Notebook Cooler 200 is a pretty standard notebook cooler. It is a one-size-fits-all affair that sits under your notebook, which presumably would make it better for desk use than lap use. It features a 200mm fan which is big enough to get reasonable airflow from low speed settings – 400 and 600RPM are the options on this model.

The cooler is USB powered and while a little bulky can be moved around in a pinch. The dimensions of the Notebook Cooler 200 are 3.8? (H) x 19? (W) x 4.2? (D) and it weighs in at 3.4 pounds.

Price: $90 [Antec via Slippery Brick]

Researchers at Purdue University are working on a system that should be able to cool both laptops and desktops. Their system will make use of refrigerants and tiny compressors and should be able to substantially reduce processor heat. While refrigerated cooling systems have been used by hardcore overclockers for some time, the systems have traditionally been bulky and required a great deal of power to run.

The new technology is expected to find its way into desktops within a couple of years and laptops fairly soon after that; so hopefully the next Macbook Pro that I buy will not sear my thighs after ten minutes fo use. [Computer World, National Geographic (image)]
