Nexus unveiled a new notebook cooler that reminds me of the
ThermalTake iXoft, the Nexus TDD-9000 is a soft black velvet liquid cooling pad that uses a gel liquid that promises to deliver a temperature improvement of up to 17°C. It will soon be available for 19.95EUR.
The TDD-9000 is a soft black velvet blanket with inside a gel-like liquid. The patented liquid has unique heat dissipating characteristics and works completely passive and noiseless.
“When you put the laptop cooling pad on your lap you will feel your lap turn colder within 10 seconds” says Michael van der Jagt, CEO of Nexus Technology. The Taiwanese testing institute SGS Taiwan has done independent tests that support these claims. Their tests with a laptop of their choice show significant improvement in temperatures of the laptop’s components, with improvements up to 17°C.
SGS showed that their turned-on laptop reaches a temperature of 50°C after 40 minutes on a regular surface, while on the TDD-9000 it reaches only 36°C in 40 minutes. You can re-boost the cooling performance of the cooling pad by simply lifting it up and shake it every 20 minutes for optimal cooling.
The TDD-9000 liquid laptop cooling pad is a true portable solution. The cooling pad can be folded and easily carried with the laptop without the danger of scratching the laptop. It can be used anytime anywhere: in a train, in a plane, at home on the sofa… you will never have an uncomfortable warm lap due to your annoying hot laptop.
