I was in Officeworks today and noticed they had a laptop stand which had a small fan in it draw off the heat. It was USB powered I'm fairly sure and the brand name was Techworks. It seemed to be a metal [aluminium?] frame with a few air holes and plastic buttons to hold the laptop off the base. Cost was $49. I was not able to ask for a demo to check out the fan noise level as the place was packed with kids and hassled parents loading up with stationery for the new school year so I got out fast. But I guess I shall return when the rush dissipates. But I wondered if anyone here has seen or used on of these?
Thanks for the replies. I was not looking for views on whether or not laptop stands/cooling platforms were necessary/advisable. The responses to those depend on your make/model of laptop and your OS version and as anyone who has followed the Apple Discussion boards knows the answers are infinite. There is now a large number of these accessories available. I was just looking for any one who had direct experience with that particular model. But I do appreciate all the comments.
