Love Your Machine

image A friend was ranting over Twitter today on how her laptop dies every hour or so. She was so worried about the possibility of buying a new one that she couldn’t work any more. As soon as she told me how hot it is in her work area, I told her to get a notebook cooler immediately. There could be tons of reasons why laptops heat up from clogged laptop vents to improper placement to a broken laptop internal fan.

One thing I’ve proven however is that it could be as simple as very hot room temperature. Getting a laptop cooling pad is a necessity now especially if you live in humid areas. If you check the laptop accessories at LaptopStand.org, you’ll see tons of options depending on your budget and style. I’m particular in choosing a more expensive laptop cooler after doing some research on how it can really help your machine perform well. I also have personal experience in buying those generic, cheap coolers and all it did was create noise and gather dust without really improving the temperature of my laptop.

If you have no idea what to get, you may start with an ANTEC notebook cooler. It’s currently listed at $31.99 from Laptopstand.org and according to reviews, it can definitely do the job. It is fashioned with comfort and elegance in mind, slim and lightweight and boasts a 110mm blower that spins quietly and effectively.  But like I said, there are tons of options at Laptopstand.org so it’s up to you on how much dough you can shell out and what kind of design will work for you.

Speaking of accessories, now that I’m going to start having meetings outside the house again, I’m looking into purchasing a couple of laptop sleeves. Yes, you heard that right. I will need a couple because I will need them to match my outfit. :) Seriously, my friends have about 5 of these so why can’t I? But like any laptop accessories, I will only go with the most durable. I will not scrimp to protect my very much loved 17″ DELL Studio so why buy a low-quality sleeve? The right laptop sleeve can give the best protection from scratches, spills and accidental dropping or water damage. Some of them are designed to ward off moisture while some are built for shock absorption similar to camera cases and bags. I may get one of each with different designs so I can swap them depending on my mood.
