The Ixoft uses solid state crystals that melt to a liquid state to help disperse the heat from the notebook. As the crystals heat, they become a liquid which, in turn, pulls the heat away from the laptop and on to the mat. The mat then disperses the...
Thermaltake has taken a new approach to notebook cooling with the iXoft and it seems to have paid off. The iXoft is a nice looking pad, available in both black and white (PC and Mac). Thermaltake claims the pad can be used with notebooks up to 17", alt...
