The front of the packaging displays an almost one-to-one scale image representation of the cooler, giving the buyer a visual feel for exactly what they are purchasing. At the top of the box is a convenient carrying handle, for when you take your newly acquired laptop cooler to the check out line.

At the back of the box Antec has provided a brief description of the cooler, followed by its features. This is presented in three languages; English, French, and Spanish. Below all of that is a photo that shows the airflow direction, and to the right of that are the specifications on the notebook cooler.

Not much inside the box. Simply the notebook cooler itself, surrounded by protective foam with a single piece of paper with instructions printed in various languages on how to use the cooler.

If you're wondering if this is some odd vanity mirror with a built in hair blower, well I suppose you could use it for such but no, it's a laptop cooler that happens to have pretty mirrors surrounding a massive 220mm fan. What's the purpose of these mirrors? Well, we can't think of any other then that it looks cool and shinny, and people love things that are shinny.

Not only is there a grill on the top of the massive fan, but there’s also a grill on the underside of the laptop cooler for those who may want to place this over their legs or other items that might get caught up in the spinning fan blades. Other then that, there isn't too much more going on the underside of this cooler. From what we can see, you can take apart the fan and reverse it if you want to turn it from an intake fan blowing air towards the laptop to an exhaust fan pulling air away. This, of course, depends on your setup. How it's setup now should be most suited for cooling a laptop.

These pictures demonstrate the profile of the laptop cooler. The angle that the laptop is placed at while resting on the cooler allows it to be more comfortable during use, as well as exhaust the hot air exiting the back of the laptop up and away from the user.

A couple switches at the back of the laptop cooler control the massive 220mm fan. The switch to the left controls the RPM of the fan; high 600RPM ± 150 and low 400RPM ± 150. The second switch to the right controls 4 Blue LEDs that light up the spinning fan blades. The ability to turn the LEDs off while keeping the fan on is a great addition, as you may not always want them on.

Yes, that is our very old, very Dell. Given it's the hottest bed warmer we've got around we figured it would make for the best test subject. As you can see this laptop pretty much maxes out what this cooler can handle so it should make for a fitting test.

It turns out that old Dell was a bit crappier then we thought. That particular series had no sensors for the CPU temperature, so we grabbed a Toshiba Satellite A205-S5803 that uses an Intel Pentium Dual Core CPU and did a few runs.

Normally we make a nice pretty graph but to be honest both the idle and the under load test results with and without the laptop cooler are fairly close, while using the laptop cooler with a low fan setting we saw an average drop of 2 degrees Celsius both in Idle and Load states. With the fan setting at High we saw an additional 1-degree drop from the low fan setting for both Idle and Load states. Overall, not to dramatically impressive; however, when using the laptop on our lap, with the cooler in between our laps felt a huge difference in temperature and was even chilly at times. A cool lap alone was quite worth it. If a laptop with an intake vent on the bottom is used with this cooler some impressive results could be seen.
