Zalman ZM-NC2000 notebook cooler stand
If you’re into computers and gadgets you must have heard of Zalman, one of the big manufacturers when it comes to cooling solutions, cases, power supplies and accessories. Zalman ZM-NC2000 is a laptop cooling stand made of aluminum and plastic, which uses two fans to keep cool the bottom of your laptop. It’s available in silver and black versions. It’s not a classic desk stand because it doesn’t raise the height of the screen more than a few centimeters, but it can be used as a lap stand, on the bed or on a sofa, keeping heat away from you during prolonged usage.
Features
Being a product from a big cooling manufacturer the ZM-NC2000 comes with a speed adjustment controller that allows you to adjust the power supplied to the two fans, thus controlling noise and cooling. Both fans have the same specs: speed ranging from 1000 to 1500 RPM.
Black always looks good
The part of the cooling stand that makes contact with your laptop is made from aluminum and features a whooping 928 holes that let cool air sucked from both sides of the stand by fans to get where it’s needed. On both sides of the stand there is one USB port that makes it easy to connect other peripherals to your laptop, but one will be taken away as a USB cable, nicely hidden beneath a plastic door, is used to power the two fans. A status LED let’s you know if the system is On or Off (there’s a button for that too or you can unplug the USB cable).
Zalman ZM-NC2000 has a slim profile
The height of Zalman ZM-NC2000 can be adjusted just like in a keyboard, by raising two small legs from behind it. The laptop is held nicely in place by two rubber bands placed on the aluminum contact surface. You’re not limited to the size of screen and can safely use any kind of laptop you like. If you can hold it then the Zalman ZM-NC2000 can too.
Pricing and availability
Zalman is not a cheap manufacturer, and you feel the ZM-NC2000 in your pocket, as it currently sells for about 68$ on Amazon. Alternatively you can go for the ZM-NC1000 that sells for 48$ and is similar built. I guess Zalman is worth the money anyway as it doesn’t compere with the price you would have to pay for notebook repair due to damage caused by heat.
