New Port Lapdesk released
Finally, Port Designs have begun shipping the ‘coolfan‘ - a new form of lapdesk with a built-in usb powered fan to reduce the temperature of your laptop!
Portbags now has them in stock after weeks of waiting, available for immediate shipping.
The device itself is lightweight and compact, suitable for up to 15.4″ screen laptops. It can be used like the original Port Lapdesk, on your lap or desk, but also has feet which can be used to increase the keyboard angle, thus making this more comfortable to type.
Given the temperature today is a warm 33c, the quiet little usb powered fan now underneath the center of my thinkpad is a welcome break from the usual warm legs I usually experience while using it on my lap…it also doesn’t seem to have any detriment to battery life, that I’ve noticed anyway…its also stopped the cooling fan from running so continually with lap-mounted use…so all in all, a useful part of the laptop users kit - the Coolfan is almost flat as well, allowing it to be stowed inside a laptop bag alongside the machine itself.
