APH Networks takes a look at the Thermaltake iXoft Laptop Cooling Pad

Personally, I have to admit, I am not a big fan of notebook coolers. With regards to the fact that laptops do often generate their own share of heat, from my experience the energy exerted from the computer is within my tolerance level. However, laptop heat dissipator manufacturers are in a big business -- and you'll find a large variety of them on the market today. The most common are plastic or aluminum constructed rectangular prisms with a couple of fans to move heat -- this moving air -- away from the heat source. However, while they may be effective, they are not very portable; and for on-the-go users you'll want the most out of your battery. To use the chemical retained energy to both generate heat and dissipate heat may not be the best idea yet. Thermaltake, one of the largest computer cooling and related manufacturers in the world, recently released their Thermaltake iXoft notebook cooling pad. Without the use of mechanical means to artificially remove heat, the designers have implemented chemical means instead. Today, we'll investigate into how it works, and most importantly, how important it works. Trust me, this may prove to be very interesting, and possibly educational.
