Coolink LapChilla Notebook Cooler Review

Posted by: David Mitchelson (Mishima) on: 05/06/2009 08:19 PM [ Print | 0 comment(s) ]

Testing and Conclusion
To test our notebook cooler we will be giving it a thorough examination on a 15” laptop. How the test will work is quite simple. The notebook will be left idle for 30 minutes and the temperature of the CPU and Chipset will be read and recorded. Next the system will be loaded 100% with OCCT benchmarking tool. After 30 minutes of stressing the system, the CPU and Chipset temperature will be read and recorded. After both sets of temperatures are obtained we will then proceed to placing the notebook under the exact same test criteria except this time we will be plugging in the LapChilla fan and reporting those temperatures and this will ultimately determine how effective the gigantic 220MM fan is at dissipating that unwanted heat.

Notebook Dell D630
Processor Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz
Memory 2GB DDR2
HDD 60GB SATA-II
Screen 14.1"

The Dell D630 I tested the LapChilla on sat very comfortably on the cooler, I applied the rubber mountings to further secure the notebook. It's fair to say that a 15" notebook is a perfect fit for the LapChilla.

Results



The above results certainly show us that the Coolink LapChilla has brilliant cooling attributes. It was able to reduce temperatures significantly, I should say for the record that the LapChilla is very quiet whilst under operation. It's hardly noticable that the giant 220MM fan is even spinning. So, as far as performance is concerned, the Coolink LapChilla has definately impressed.

Conclusion

The Coolink LapChilla is a brilliant cooling solution for notebooks and laptops. Having tested the LapChilla we can clearly see that the enormous 220MM fan does just what is intended, it knocks off those valuable temperatures and this can only be welcomed. Heat causes problems, as I mentioned at the beginning of this article, reducing these temperatures will definately prolong the life expectancy of this notebook, it will also prevent system crashes and problems occuring in the future. As the statistics state, the fan operates at 600RPM giving out just 16dB/A and I can verify that the noise from this stylish looking fan is whisper quiet. You will suffer no interruptions at all.

What I like about the LapChilla is the functionality. No matter where you are, you can take it with you and it will adapt to the environment/position that you require and it looks great too.

The only improvements or suggestions that I would make are that the materials used can feel quite delicate and whilst this isn’t terrible it would be of more benefit to use stronger materials. I would like to see the LapChilla available in different colours also. Whether this is Coolink’s intention, I do not know.

Coming in at €29.90 the LapChilla is priced to sell. For the functionality and performance this is probably amongst the best coolers you could invest in today.



We would like to thank Coolink for providing us with the LapChilla. To discuss this review please click here.
