Testing

To test the Antec Notebook Cooler S, I used a generic 1.4ghz Celeron M laptop.

The notebook was fully charged and then plugged into the mains for the test.

I ran StressPrime for 30 minutes for each of the load times, then after another 30 minutes I let the laptop run idle for 30 minutes for the idle temperatures.

The laptop cooler was used at high and low for both load and idle, below are the results:

All the tests were taken in our rather frosty office @ 18C.

As you can see, the results are pretty good on the idle front, though the load temperature difference isn’t quite as spectacular. However, bearing in mind that you would never normally run a laptop at 100% CPU usage unless, the NotebookCooler S does a reasonable job at cooling a hot running laptop.

Noise

At low fan speed setting the cooler can hardly be heard, whilst at high it becomes similar to a loud whisper; far from noisy, or intruding.

Size

As the cooler is quite small and compact, it would be possible to carry this little contraption around with you in a laptop bag and use it whenever you feel the need.
