Dear lord, thats insanely big !
Very nice engineering work from Cooler Master, but its far too expensive.
It looks as if Dell made it for their alienware laptop range !
Firstly, this is brilliant,. it is about time some company turned the boring concept of laptop coolers on its head with a performance design capable of cooling hot running hardware.
The only negative is the price? why is it going to be 85 quid in the UK and its 80 dollars in the US? thats 50 pounds ! almost a 90% mark up there
I get annoyed with the UK pricing at times. I was looking at this product today elsewhere and thought, great UK pricing should be 55 quid. but its 85 quid. No thanks. I want one for my XPS, but im not paying the price for a new battery just for something to help cool it.
Looks good, but very expensive for a cooler. Maybe if id spent 3 k on my laptop I might be more willing to spend it, but 400 quid is enough for me on a laptop
Quality product from CM, but I dont think this will suit many laptops. looks great with alienware, but my HP would look terrible on it.
I’m in the market for a high-end laptop, and Alienware is on the shortlist. Fan noise is significant, but is there a “net” benefit? i.e.: does the additional cooling keep the laptop’s fans from spinning up louder? Presumably it will vary from laptop to laptop, but how does it fare for the new Alienware?
the problem is i can’t find in in the uk anymore ,and amazon.com doesn’t ship it to uk
