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...

The Ixoft uses solid state crystals that melt to a liquid state to help disperse the heat from the notebook. As the crystals heat, they become a liquid which, in turn, pulls the heat away from the laptop and on to the mat. The mat then disperses the...

Notebook cooling solutions are available in many different shapes, sizes and orientations. Some work by raising the notebook off of the surface you are working on, while others incorporate cooling fans to help keep temperatures down. Each of these diff...
Thermaltake has taken a new approach to notebook cooling with the iXoft and it seems to have paid off. The iXoft is a nice looking pad, available in both black and white (PC and Mac). Thermaltake claims the pad can be used with notebooks up to 17", alt...

Thermaltake The Thermaltake iXoft notebook cooler is a fantastic quilted pad that distributes heat without the use of fans. It is available in black (R15ON01) or in white (R15ON02). The pad is filled with Sodium Sulfate Decahydrate Na2SO4.10H2O, whic...
The iXoft resulted in a large improvement in cooling. Our test showed that the laptop CPU ran 4.1 degrees cooler when sitting on the iXoft at idle, and 12.3 degrees cooler sitting on the iXoft when being tortured by Prime95. This product is properly p...

One of the first reviews that I wrote for DragonSteelMods was for a laptop desk from LapWorks. Today, I return to my roots to look at two new laptop desk/thermal mat solutions. The first is from the folks at Thermaltake, who are known for their variou...

Both these products have a primary goal and secondary goal. The main target is to protect the users lap from the heat build up of newer and hotter laptops and both these products perform that job admirably. The secondary goal is to lower the working t...

The results were fairly nice for the Thermaltake iXoft Notebook Cooling Pad. The entire bottom of the laptop was also significantly cooler after using the iXoft for a while. The improvement overall was very good for a passive cooling pad. Air coolers...

Thermaltake has a long tradition in producing cooling solutions for almost all types of computers. With laptop users becoming more prevalent, they too are facing the serious problem of heat. As a laptop user, my Asus A6JA gets really hot when the CPU a...
Before testing the product, I was rather skeptical as to how exactly this product could help cool my Asus A6JA. Its only 15.4" laptop, but it gets very hot, especially after I replaced the original Fujitsu 4200rpm HDD with a Seagate 5400rpm HDD in or...

The iXoft failed to cool my laptop. In fact, it almost caused the laptop to overheat! The bottom fan was blocked, preventing cool airflow to the innards. Users with bottom-fanned laptops should probably avoid the iXoft. Others, however, might decide t...

Weight is a major concern for those who buy a laptop. Since it’s supposed to be carried around, it has to be as lightweight as possible. Most people don’t realize however that heat is also an issue. Notebooks have a tendency to get really hot...

After having used a handful of notebook coolers that use rigid bodies with fans to get the job done, the iXoft is obviously the quietest, easiest to setup, most portable, and still quite effective. The somewhat mysterious and scientific nature of Therm...

The Thermaltake iXoft R15ON02 Notebook Cooling Pad is a surprisingly effective device. Initially I had doubts that something that looked like a pot holder would do anything but insulate the base of the computer and actually make it warmer. In testing...

Works great!! Makes using a laptop on my lap a much more comfortable experience.
Slippery surface needs some decent feet on the laptop to keep from sliding around (or onto the floor).
