Evercool NP-501 cooling pad for up to 17 inch notebooks

Evercool is a pretty known Taiwanese manufacturer that has a focus on cooling solution, so I bet you already know what I’m going to present now: a laptop cooling stand, the NP-501. This particular model comes with two 80 mm cooling fans that are unfortunately non adjustable in speed, but they use a special Ever Lubricate bearing type developed by Evercool that’s supposed to offer long life and adequate noise. I wouldn’t call them silent as both run at 2000 RPM but I bet they’re less noisy than a gaming laptop in full load, which is what you’ll probably use with Evercool NP-501 which is good for up to 17 inch diagonal laptops.

Evercook NP-501 comes in two colors

As of design there’s not much to say here, we have a plastic shell with some SciFi drawings around the two fans but it’s not what you could call stylish. I don’t thing this is an important feature to look for in a cooling stand, as the main function is not to look nice, especially if you use a big notebook that covers the laptop pad entirely. As a side note, the two fans suck air from beneath your laptop and expel it on the left and right side through 4 vent holes.

Being made from plastic there are also some advantages, like low weight: despite its big size, 68 x 43 x 27 cm, it only weights 779 grams. This makes it ideal if you travel a lot with your gaming laptop, to LAN parties and such. Both fans are powered via one of your laptop’s USB ports, which you’ll lose this way, but that’s hardly an issue these days.

Given the under 30$ price on Amazon, I can only recommend Evercool NP-501, either black or silver version.
