NOTEBOOK BUFFER: Cooling Your Notebook
NOTEBOOK BUFFER: Cooling Your Notebook
My idea of a good evening is to sit in front of the TV with my notebook on my lap. I can be entertained by the TV and informed by my computer while I glance at the TV and email my kids. But, like everyone else, my little notebook puts out heat like a charcoal grill, and, after awhile, my lap's burning up! It's amazing how many notebooks are ruined by overheating! I know the computer need air circulation to keep it cool, so I haven't used pillows or a towel underneath. At one time, I bought a notebook cooling pad with with built in cooling fans, but it worked only for a short period of time. I've tried making various forms of lap platforms from household items, all of which were not very stable and didn't do the job..
The As Seen On TV people picked up on this new cooling pad, the Notebook Buffer, that you put under your notebook so you can use it as a laptop without feeling the heat on your thighs. This lightweight pad measures 15” x 10.5” and is made of a high-tech fiber woven that allows air to circulate in the pad. So, when you place the Notebook Buffer between your notebook and your lap, your computer stays cool and your lap does too. It really does allow you to turn your notebook into a laptop without fear of damaging your computer by overheating.
It sounded like just what I needed, so I ordered it. The Notebook Buffer weighs in at under four ounces; it's cushiony soft, rollable, foldable, bendable, but resists crushing. On my lap under the notebook, it conforms to my legs and gives the notebook room to breathe. So, now I don't have to worry about ruining my notebook because of overheating and my legs aren't frying any more. Because of it's composition and construction, it will be great in my computer bag to absorb jolts while traveling.
I've ordered one for my wife and have told my daughters about it. The Mac notebooks don't seem to have any overheating problems, so my son, the Mac user, can skip this one. The total cost (including shipping) of about $28. was little enough to pay to protect my expensive notebook. They also included some interesting freebees that have come in handy. The Notebook Buffer is as advertised!
