Slim Laptop Fan Pads

The TILT Cooling Stand Keeps the MacBook Pro from Overheating

— October 25, 2011 — Tech
MacBook users who are sick of the same cooling pads on the market, check out the TILT Cooling Stand that's built specifically for your notebook.

What's great about the TILT Cooling Stand is that it's actually thin whereas most products of its kind tend to be bulky. It does add some thickness, but at a total of 0.6 inches, the difference really isn't that great. The accessory itself uses a patent-pending FLOWthru Cooling System that circulates the air though all the hot spots within the MacBook. When the TILT is attached, it also props up the laptop in a comfortable typing position for users as well. Another great feature is that this can be attached to a tripod, which is perfect for any photographer or DJ who uses their MacBook for long periods of time.
Trend Themes
1. Slim Laptop Fan Pads - The shift towards slimmer laptop fan pads that utilize more efficient cooling systems creates disruptive innovation opportunities in the computer and accessory industry, allowing for greater portability and comfortability.
