Laptop Lifts Lift Low Laptops
Posted in: accessories, Today's Chili
Have you ever thought to yourself "This computer is really tricky to pick up" or "I hope my notebook doesn’t scratch this table"?
No? Neither have we. But for those amongst you with this kind of obsessive compulsive disorder, the answer is Laptop Lifts, small, stick-on rubber rails that add precious millimeters to the height of your machine. The blurb lays out all sorts of claims for the Lifts, scratch reduction and handling improvements included. But the one feature that could actually be useful is the extra space underneath, which means that your notebook will stay cooler, keeping the fans off and boosting battery life.
It really works. I have a metal sheet with four rubber nubbins on it which I use for watching movies in bed. Or rather, I did. My old MacBook Pro got red hot even on a desk, but the extra air provided by my home made solution kept it cool. The new unibody MacBooks are way cooler already, but can still benefit from a little extra air.
As is often the case, the FAQ page is the best part of the site, reminiscent of the iconic "How is babby formed?" Some samples:
Are the Laptop Lifts cold?
When I open my screen, my computer is tippy now.
Are they better than fans?
The Laptop Lifts come in packs of six strips (four short and two long) and cost $15.
