Overheating: How hot is too hot?

Untitled-1 copy A common question we receive is “Is my notebook overheating?”. However, whether or not your notebook is overheating should not determine whether or not you should keep your notebook cool. Heat is the enemy of any electronic device, notebooks included even if the temperatures are within a somewhat acceptable range.

Vizo EZSurf Passive Notebook Cooler Review

image034 As we stated in a recent review of the Tacens Trio, the supply has begun to catch up with demand in the portable cooler market. Today we will have a look at another one of these portable notebook coolers, the Vizo EZSurf. The EZSurf is a passive notebook cooler, meaning true silence. Moreover it features a “patented” curved based design and has a thermally conductive interface pad. Making things even juicier is its compact size and durable build.

At first thought one may be questioning the usefulness and effectiveness of the product. “A silent cooler, with no fans, a patented curve base design and a thing called a thermally conductive interface pad?”; heck it may even sound downright sketchy to some. Others may overlook the product and miss its potential. To us the EzSurf looks like a viable cooling solution given the right circumstances.

Tacens Ferolite Notebook Cooler Review

image031 Thinner but larger than the Tacens Trio, yet far smaller than the Tacens Fero, the Tacens Ferolite fills in the middle space in the Tacens lineup. Much like the Trio the Ferolite was designed to maximize portability but rather than the fold up design that Tacens used for the Trio, the Ferolite has a cool looking slide design.

Though however cool a notebook cooler may appear, it should still remain practical and effective. Throughout our time with the Ferolite we were able to test these qualities and we will report our results in this review.

Tacens Trio Notebook Cooler Review

image016 Since the launch of Notebook-Cooling.com, our visitor trends have showed that over a third of our traffic comes from mainland Europe. Although we have generally been concentrating on products available across the globe, a few of our products have left out our European readers. So today we have a review of a company more or less exclusive to Europe: Tacens. Founded in 2005, “Tacens” (which is the Latin term for “silent”), operates under the motto “Feel the Silence”.

In their line, they feature three notebook coolers, the Fero, Ferolite, and the Trio. Fortunately for us, we were able to get our hands on all three coolers. Today we will be focusing on the Tacens Trio.
