Desperate times call for desperate measures, and while we can't say with any level of certainty that Microsoft Hardware engineers weren't toiling away on this laptop cooling stand back in the heyday that was 2005, we highly doubt that's the case. For whatever reason, Microsoft is boldly entering a new category of accessories with the introduction of the USB-powered Notebook Cooling Base, which sports a built-in fan and cooling channel to prevent overheating. The whole thing is just 1.16 inches thick, and there's even a cable management clip if you find yourself in need. In somewhat related news, we're also being greeted by a new Special Edition line of Arc Mouses (mice?), which arrive in frost white, eggplant purple, deep olive green and marine blue. As for pricing, you can expect the breezy pad to land this July for $29.95, while the critters are available later this month for $49.95 a pop.

For $29.95, I would definitely buy it. My laptop is an inferno in the summer, lol.

That thing is bigger than my entire laptop - not for me.
We really need a way to cool laptops more. Until then, all hail pads like this.

Definitely. My sister got this Zalman cooler for Christmas and she really likes it. Seems to work really well.

More fans would be nice, but regardless this is a good price.
i hope it's better than the fan they put in the first-gen xbox 360's.

Although a bigger fan could have fixed it. The heatsink would have been the better choice to upgrade. God knows the 360 is loud enough already.

I have that one too, using it as I type this. It does work well, and it's quiet.

Looks a lot like something apple would have made though

Not at all. It's the colors of the 360. That 360 white and grey.
