Cooler Master MasterNotepal

Top-notch aluminium laptop cooler

No one likes having a hot laptop, even when the weather outside is frightful, which is why a laptop cooler is a great Christmas gift. When laptops work hard – especially gaming ones – the hardware inside a laptop can get quite toasty. The Cooler Master MasterNotepal is a slick and solid laptop stand gets its strength from aluminium – and that’s not the only bonus that comes from the MasterNotepal’s metal design. Meanwhile, the bottom of the stand is rubberized and has clasps for keeping cables tidy, and the top of the device has an anti-slip strip – perfect for keeping the laptop secure.
