The RoadTools guys sent me a couple Podium CoolPads to play with a few weeks ago, and I gotta say, I’m in love. The CoolPad is just a tilted stand for your laptop, with risers to provide an ergonomic keyboard tilt (and to allow the machine to cool itself by passing air beneath the exhaust) and a hinge to allow the laptop to be easily swivelled. After just a couple weeks, this thing has become indispensible to me. The cool air keeps the fan from switching on, which preserves battery life, and the swivel makes it easy to shift in my chair and keep the keyboard pointed at me. My wrists are thanking me, too. This is a really clever little idea. Link Discuss
