Enermax Aeolus N14 cooler focuses on netbook market

Enermax released the Aeolus N14 to provide cooling for netbooks. The device has an aluminium surface with plastic and steel mesh, active cooling is provided by a 140mm blue LED fan and two USB 2.0 ports (with max output of 110mA) can be found on the right side of the pad. I'm not sure why you might need this for a netbook, but the specification list reveals the pad is compatible with laptops of up to 13.3" so perhaps it may be a nice fit for an ultraportable laptop.
The air circulation and heat dissipation of netbooks is often restricted by the limited space in and around the small casing. Therefore, many manufactures develop active or passive cooling systems, which, under normal conditions, offer an acceptable cooling performance. Since summer is here and the ambient temperature is rapidly rising, though even the best cooling systems can reach their limits. As a consequence, essential components like CPU or graphics card have to struggle at unusual high temperatures.

Aeolus N14: Large-Area Cooling with in-built Silent Fan
Netbook temperatures can be significantly reduced by the use of a specially designed cooling pad. While there are many notebook coolers currently available on the market, most cannot be easily adapted for small-size notebooks or compact netbooks. With its Aeolus N14, Enermax has developed a cooling pad, which is specially designed for these small-size mobile computers. The virtually silent integrated 14cm fan ensures a steady stream of fresh air. The wide-area steel mesh offers not only an excellent thermal conduction, but also an unrestricted air circulation and well-balanced cooling performance. Visually, Aeolus N14 follows the elegant appearance of larger Aeolus. Four blue LEDs, elegantly integrated into the design, create a harmonious and delicate light. Due to its compact size and low weight, Aeolus N14 can be easily carried along with your netbook for cooling anywhere. It even provides one additional USB port to directly connect a mouse or keyboard.

Aeolus N14 is available now, starting from just 21.90 Euro (MSRP incl. VAT).
