Coolink Lapchilla Super-Quiet Laptop Cooler Review

A Closer Look
Taking the product out of its packaging we get our first sight into the cooler. From the top, we can see the bulk of it consists mostly a fan-grill.
Beneath this we can see the large 220mm fan which is made up of 11 translucent blue blades, although they are spaced out quite considerably and have a shallow angle of attack, thus they spin quite freely.
We can also see that this is designed to work at two different angles to help make it more suitable for a broader spectrum of consumers and a majority of laptop designs . You can have the Lapchilla either at 15 degrees from the base or at 32 degrees.
The following picture shows the Lapchilla positioned at 15 degrees.
This picture shows the Lapchilla positioned at 32 degrees which is surprisingly steep.
On the sides we can see how the mechanism works and it is simply a case of sliding/tilting the Lapchilla to the desired locking point along the side to get the desired angle. At first this looks fairly easy but will take you several attempts when performing for the first few times.
On the bottom there is a solid plastic plate and four slightly raised rubberised feet. At the front of the bottom section, we can see a curled section which completes the product when closed up and stops your laptop from sliding forward when in normal operation.
Of course this is a USB powered device and as such the cable is hidden in the internal frame and just pulls out when needed. It is on a nice coiled cable allowing it to be stretched while returning to its original length after use. It can easily be pushed back into place and is stored in the top right of the main section.
