Heat is the enemy of computer components. Most of us spend quite a bit of time picking out just the right chassis, case fans and coolers for our desktops, but notebooks are often left out of the cooling game. There are, however, a few products out there that try to address the issue of laptop cooling. One such product from Cooler Master is the NotePal ErgoStand, which we have for review today. We have seen several different versions of notebook coolers, most opting to be a bit more portable than the ErgoStand, a more stationary stand. The ErgoStand comes with a fan speed control and a 4-port USB hub built into the stand.

Introduction & Specs

We first saw this laptop at CeBIT 2010. But the laptop model itself has been around for a bit longer than that. I did some research and already found reviews dating from end of last year. But Asus added later down the road the NVIDIA 3D pack, to give it that extra dimension. I’ve never been into laptops, especially as they are in my book, not really intended for gaming purposes. Mobile CPU’s and GPU’s have never been able to convince me. Usually the specs sound nice, but are far slower than their desktop counterparts. And now Asus is promoting 3D gaming on this laptop. Let’s see if this beauty can persuade the skeptics.

Wow, an I7 mobile CPU with 4 real cores hyperthreading enabled. Massive CPU power galore, but how hot will it run ? How long will the battery hold up when running flatout ? The GPU power comes by NVIDIA, a GTX260M. Not a bad gaming setup there at first glance, but sadly it’s hooked up to just a 15.6 LCD screen. Two dimms of 2Gb, totaling 4gb of DDR3 ram and a duo of 7200RPM 320GB Harddisks top off the specs.
