Your Notebook needs fresh Air – just like you!

Laptops have become much cooler in recent years, but heat is still an operational problem.

Cooler notebooks last longer and too much heat can make your system crash.

Here are some simple tips:

  1. Make sure the vents are not covered up, this is especially a problem when they are at the bottom of the notebook and you put the machine on cloth (like watching a video in bed).
  2. Try to use notebook cooler or under layer made of glass or metal (like a metal mouse pad). If you don’t have neither use some small object like a real book to tilt the computer a bit, so air can circulate better under the machine.
  3. Notebooks are like Hoovers they suck in all the dust around them. After a few months the inside of your notebook is clogged up with dust. The ventilator has to work harder and harder to cool it. That is why many notebooks get noisier over time. Open up the notebook (or let some support guy do it) and use your Hoover or some compressed air to clean out all the dirt.
  4. Some notebooks with high end graphic cards can overheat nevertheless during demanding gaming sessions. A notebook cooler can only blow from below, so it might help to get an additional USB fan to add some cooling air from above.

I highly recommend doing #3 at least every six month – it really helps a lot.

Stuff I love to hate: Swarovski Moon USB Stick

digital_usb_crystal

Unless you are 12 years old, female and own a pair of very rich parents – you shouldn’t own such a piece of crap. A €190 for a 4 Gbyte USB stick is not only overpriced, but will make your "precious data" even more interesting for any thief.

USB Gloves

I actually think this nutty product is a good idea. I haven have cold hands while writing – although my room is heated. The only thing I don’ like are the many cables – I think I am gonna use some old fashioned wireless gloves …

USB-Pedometer

And another great USB gimmick. This one actually keep you fit – or at least helps you to walk a bit more …

The Pedometer tracks how many steps you have made. Via USB you connect the device with your computer and feed the data into a statistic and fitness website. Nice!

Motivation not included.

USB Greenhouse – connect to nature with your computer

Computer Aided Gardening! No shit Sherlock. This thing comes complete with seeds, a program to monitor the growth, a watering reminder (very handy!) and bookmarks for further information to grow a digital green thumb.

I am wondering how many nerds use this to grow their own drugs with this? But it’s a great idea.

I am afraid the plant won’t be enough to offset the greenhouse gases your computer creates. But it’s a start to start your own CO2 emission program.

Microsoft SideWinder Mouse

digital_microsoft-sidewinder-mouse-34-view-2

Full review @ Everything USB

This is not a Mouse – this is a highly complicated input device for 14 year old wankers. It is amazing what some people are willing to buy to prove they have a dick.

Actually some MS mice are pretty nice. This one – nope …
