I’ll be honest. This review is pretty late. In fact I had everything but the conclusion written and had it sitting for a year. I decided to release this information anyway because this TV is still going strong and looks amazing.

Cooler Master’s Notebook Cooler NotePal X2

cooler-masters-notebook-cooler-notepal-x2

So, I ordered this thing from Amazon, because my Macbook runs up to 92C (Which Apple claims its “within operable temperatures” so I’m taking their word for it… with caution.  However, I did run the laptop at that temperature for about 6 hours while playing Call of Duty, so I feel more assured.  But to be safe, I ordered this cooler.

Here are the results of my tests:

SETTINGS:
Control group:  Room temp of 23C, wooden desk
Variables:  Mac’s fan speed, Cooler Pad’s fan speed, processes

TEMPERATURES:
Idle, on the desk, mac’s fan speed at 3000 RPM = 33C
Idle, on the cooling pad at 700 rpm, mac’s fan speed at 3000 rpm= 33C
Idle, on the cooling pad at 1400 rpm, mac’s fan speed at 3000 rpm = 33C

Idle, on the desk, mac’s fan speed at 6200 RPM = 32C
Idle, on the cooling pad  at 700 rpm, mac’s fan speed at 6200 rpm = 35C
Idle, on the cooling pad at 1400 rpm, mac’s fan speed at 6200 rpm = 35C

Working, on the desk mac’s fan speed at 6200 RPM = 87C
Working, on the cooling pad at 700 rpm, mac’s fan speed at 6200 rpm = 87C
Working, on the cooling pad at 1400 rpm, mac’s fan speed at 6200 rpm = 87C

Working = Running adobe flash cs5, rendering in lightwave 10 full graphics, 300,000+ polygons, 5xAA, radiosity and raytracing, watching a movie on quicktime and youtube

CONCLUSION:
Well, this was anti-climatic.  I guess this was because I was on a wooden desk after all, but I’m sure that if this laptop were on my lap, and in a hotter room, there would be more obvious differences.  However, I do feel that it’s worth getting nevertheless because most laptops have their vents on the bottom, where as this macbook pro vents through the sides, and through the keyboard.

COOL STUFF:
Well, there are some cool features.  Like the blue LED glow, and also the pad has an extra USB to make up for the one it takes.  Comes with a 600mm USB cable as well to power it.  Macbooks are a bit short on USBs these days.  It’s extremely quiet, and also it has two height settings, as well as adjustable fan speeds, with a power button.

I ordered this product from Amazon at $25.99

Review: Dead Island

review-dead-island

Title: Dead Island

Genre: Horror, Co-op FPS/RPG

Release Date: 9/6/2011

Systems: PC, Xbox 360, PS3

Format: DVD, Blu-ray, Digital Distro

 

Looking at Dead Island, it’s hard not to recall Valve’s own 4 player co-op zombie slaughter Left 4 Dead. Both feature hordes of zombies, special infected, and four immune survivors who also happen to be quite adept at combating the walking dead. At that though, the similarities end. Developer Techland manages a clean separation from L4D once players get into it, and the distinctions only become more clear as the game progresses.
