TOILET PAPER TEST

QUESTION: I noticed on your website that the QuadCooler draws air down into the laptop cooler. How do I know if my laptop pushes air out or draws it into the laptop? I want to know so that the laptop fans don't work against the QuadCooler fans. Does that make sense???

ANSWER: Yes that makes sense. The QuadCooler will still help your laptop even if the fans are pulling air in different directions. However, it does make sense that the QuadCooler should work better if it is pushing air in the same direction as your laptop. To find out whether your laptop is a "sucker" or a "blower" you should give it the "Toilet Paper" test. Simply get one square of toilet paper and place it over the fan on your laptop. If the square blows off then you've got a blower. If the square gets sucked onto the grill of the fan then you've got a sucker. In theory the QuadCooler works best with "blower" type laptop fan. I hope this answers your question.

 


LAPTOP MELTDOWN
Most people realize that laptops get hot, but have you ever seen a laptop get so hot that it actually melts. If you do a little searching on the Internet, you will find photos of melted laptops. Although the QuadCooler helps to keep your laptop running cooler, it cannot compensate for a laptop that has a broken or defective internal fan or a defective battery pack. Therefore, we don't guarantee that the QuadCooler can protect all laptops all of the time, because some laptops are either too old, broken, or just defective.

WHAT IS A LAPTOP COOLER?
A laptop cooler or notebook cooler is a device external to a laptop computer or notebook computer that is designed to lower the overall temperature of the portable computer. A typical laptop cooler consists of a rectangular platform about the same size or larger than the laptop computer. A laptop cooler may have a fan to facilitate the cooling process, but they don't necessarily have to have a fan. The platform by itself helps the laptop run cooler due to the fact that it provides a nice smooth surface which allows air to flow underneath the laptop. Most fanned laptop coolers have 2 fans, but there is a 4 fan laptop cooler called the "QuadCooler" that claims its evenly spaced fans provide more balanced cooling for all the hot spots on the bottom of the laptop. The fans on most of the laptop coolers are powered by a special USB cable that plugs into any available USB port on the laptop computer. Tip: If you want to reduce the power drain on your laptop battery, you can simply power down or unplug your laptop cooler and the smooth surface will still help your laptop run cooler. In addition, it still provides a heat barrier or heat shield between your lap and the laptop.

LAPTOP MAINTENANCE
In addition to a laptop cooler, it is a good idea to perform periodic maintenance on the internal cooling system that's built into your laptop or notebook computer. All this requires is to blow out the internal fans and vents on the laptop using a Gas Duster (canned air). Keep in mind that if the fans, vents, or airways get clogged then your laptop will run extra hot or even overheat.

TRUCK DRIVES OVER LAPTOP COOLER
Do not try this at home folks. Here is a YouTube video I found where someone actually tries to test the strength of a QuadCooler by driving a pickup truck on top of the laptop cooler. The video shows that the QuadCooler holds up under the weight of a vehicle. Later they said that the QuadCooler only suffered minor damage. We DO NOT recommend that you perform this type of test with your QuadCooler product, because it will void the warranty and it's not safe to be running over objects with a truck or automobile. In addition, here's a funny blopper I found of the making of the QuadCooler video. - Check out the BigDog vs Asimo remixed edition - Big Trucks, Smart Cars, and Motorcycles - Xofos - World History Backbone - Definition of word Xofos

COMPATIBLE WITH MOST LAPTOPS
The QuadCooler is compatible with most laptop or notebook computers that have USB capability. The size of the laptop or notebook computer is also a factor when buying a QuadCooler. Please check the dimensions of your laptop and compare that to the dimensions of the QuadCooler (12.8in x 10.5in).
