QuadCooler Laptop Cooler - This is the QuadCooler. It is strong yet lightweight. It is powerful yet small enough to pack along with your laptop or notebook computer. It is a scientific fact that computers run better at lower temperatures. It is also true that most computers and especially laptop computers run much higher than the ideal temperature where computer function best. In fact, many laptops run at such a high temperature that they might even damage delicate components like processor chips and hard drives. Laptop Cooler

The QuadCooler is a rectangular platform designed to sit underneath your portable computer and it is powered by a special USB cable that plugs into any available USB port on your laptop or notebook computer. One end of the cable is a standard USB connector and the other end is a standard barrel type power connector. The setup is easy. You simply set your laptop on top of the QuadCooler and then you plug the barrel end into the QuadCooler and the USB end into any available USB port on your laptop computer.

There is a power switch that lets you put the QuadCooler on stand bye. There is also a speed control that lets you adjust the fans to the setting that’s right for you.

The toilet paper test consists of placing a single square of toilet paper on either the fan housing or on the exhaust port to test the direction of air flow.

Here you can see that when placed on the fan intake that the toilet paper gets sucked onto the fan housing.

Now we are going to place it on the exhaust port and you can see that it blows the toilet paper away from the port.

It’s hard to see the 4 concealed fans through modern design of the QuadCooler exterior. Therefore, we will remove the top cover to expose the 4 powerful but quiet fans. The fans are used to drawn warm air down into the QuadCooler and then out the sides. The fans are evenly placed to provide balanced cooling to all the hot spots on the bottom of your laptop computer including the processor, hard drive, and battery.

Today laptop and notebook computers are more powerful than ever, but that also means they are generating more heat than ever before and the QuadCooler offers a powerful yet lightweight cooling platform for your portable computer.

Like a Radiator for your Laptop Computer

Like a Radiator for your Laptop

Think about it. Cars and Laptops are similar in the fact that they both generate lots of HEAT. With the automobile you want the engine to be warm, but not overly hot. However, in the case of the laptop computer, you strictly want the temperature to be as low as possible. In other words, you never want to "warm up" a laptop the way you would warm up a car. Computers actually run faster at lower temperatures. The main purpose of a laptop cooler is to protect you and the delicate components of your laptop from the dangers of heat, but a side benefit is that it could theoretically give you a tiny boost of computer performance.

QUADCOOLER IS MOVING

2008-04-22T00:01:00.003-06:00

A Surge of Web Traffic
Due to a recent surge in web traffic and online visitors/shoppers, the QuadCooler website is moving to a new faster, more reliable web server. All this means is that for a couple of days from 4/22/08 to 4/24 08 the domain name QUADCOOLER.COM will be in a transition period between the new and old web servers.

What does this mean for me?
If you type QUADCOOLER.COM and you see a temporary message with a link to the new sever, then that means QUADCOOLER.COM took you to the old server. If you type QUADCOOLER.COM and you see diagram of the QuadCooler, then that means QUADCOOLER.COM took you to the new server. Hopefully by Thursday, April 24, 2008, the domain name will point everyone to the new web server.

Why are you moving?
We are moving to a new server to better handle the surge of traffic that we are receiving from visitors from all over the world. We have noticed that the surge of traffic was causing the old server to be very slow and even lock up at times.

What's so great about the new server?
The new server will feature a high performance Linux based operating system running on a dedicated IP address with multiple high speed internet connections. I have already noticed a big difference in both performance and reliability.

When does the new server become active?
The QuadCooler site has already been moved to the new server. It is only the domain name that takes 2-3 days to transfer over. Click here to test out the new web server and let us know in the comment section.

Toilet Paper Test

2008-04-08T00:01:00.002-06:00

Above is a close up photo of a single square of toilet paper resting on top of the laptop's own internal cooling fan. If the toilet paper blows, the laptop is a "blower". If the toilet paper gets pulled down, the laptop is a "sucker".

Toilet Paper Test

I noticed on your website that the QuadCooler draws air down into the laptop cooler. How do I know if my laptop pushes air out or draws it into the laptop? I want to know so that the laptop fans don't work against the QuadCooler fans. Does that make sense???

My Laptop Sucks

Yes that makes sense. The QuadCooler will still help your laptop even if the fans are pulling air in different directions. However, it does make sense that the QuadCooler should work better if it is pushing air in the same direction as your laptop. To find out whether your laptop is a "sucker" or a "blower" you should give it the "Toilet Paper" test. Simply get one square of toilet paper and place it over the fan on your laptop. If the square blows off then you've got a blower. If the square gets sucked onto the grill of the fan then you've got a sucker. In theory the QuadCooler works best with "blower" type laptop fan. I hope this answers your question.

Truck Month at QuadCooler.com

2008-04-07T09:43:00.007-06:00

THIS MONTH IS TRUCK MONTH AT QUADCOOLER.COM

Don't you just love it when Car Dealers announce that this month is the best time to buy a pickup truck because it's TRUCK MONTH at their car lot, but then you scratch your head and wonder, "Wasn't last month also TRUCK MONTH?". Well, at QuadCooler.com it's always TRUCK MONTH because each and every QuadCooler order gets delivered to FedEx via one of our trucks. And to celebrate TRUCK MONTH we are going to offer Special 5 Dollar Flat Rate Ground Shipping on most QuadCooler orders (You have to live in the lower 48 states of the United States of America to qualify). This offer is good only as long as we can afford it. The price of Diesel Fuel is skyrocketing and so is the cost of FedEx shipping, therefore, we will continue our Special $5 Shipping on a month to month basis. The good news is that April 2008 has been given the ok for Special $5 Flat Rate Ground Shipping. See map of the United States of America

LAPTOP MELTDOWN
Most people realize that laptops get hot, but have you ever seen a laptop get so hot that it actually melts. If you do a little searching on the Internet, you will find photos of melted laptops. Although the QuadCooler helps to keep your laptop running cooler, it cannot compensate for a laptop that has a broken or defective internal fan or a defective battery pack. Therefore, we don't guarantee that the QuadCooler can protect all laptops all of the time, because some laptops are either too old, broken, or just defective.

WHAT IS A LAPTOP COOLER?
A laptop cooler or notebook cooler is a device external to a laptop computer or notebook computer that is designed to lower the overall temperature of the portable computer. A typical laptop cooler consists of a rectangular platform about the same size or larger than the laptop computer. A laptop cooler may have a fan to facilitate the cooling process, but they don't necessarily have to have a fan. The platform by itself helps the laptop run cooler due to the fact that it provides a nice smooth surface which allows air to flow underneath the laptop. Most fanned laptop coolers have 2 fans, but there is a 4 fan laptop cooler called the "QuadCooler" that claims its evenly spaced fans provide more balanced cooling for all the hot spots on the bottom of the laptop. The fans on most of the laptop coolers are powered by a special USB cable that plugs into any available USB port on the laptop computer. Tip: If you want to reduce the power drain on your laptop battery, you can simply power down or unplug your laptop cooler and the smooth surface will still help your laptop run cooler. In addition, it still provides a heat barrier or heat shield between your lap and the laptop.

LAPTOP MAINTENANCE
In addition to a laptop cooler, it is a good idea to perform periodic maintenance on the internal cooling system that's built into your laptop or notebook computer. All this requires is to blow out the internal fans and vents on the laptop using a Gas Duster (canned air). Keep in mind that if the fans, vents, or airways get clogged then your laptop will run extra hot or even overheat.

Above is a screen capture of the new and improved Rolee Polee web site

SMALL FOOTPRINT, BIG PERFORMANCE
Yes, the official Rolee Polee website was down earlier this week because they were in the process of upgrading their web site and web servers. The good news is that the web site is back up and better than ever. The spot light of the website now goes to the new Rolee Polee trackball keyboard. This new keyboard features long range RF wireless technology and a high resolution optical trackball. It's ideal for computer presentations, conference rooms, PC based home entertainment centers, and anywhere a long range wireless keyboard with small foot print and built-in trackball is needed.

And keep in mind that sometimes you need the whole enchilada (keyboard with built-in trackball) and sometimes you just need a PowerPoint remote (just a remote mouse with slide advance buttons). It is a good idea to do a good assessment of your needs before you make a important technology decision.

Evolution of the Laptop Cooler

2008-01-29T10:24:00.000-07:00

The above photo shows the early 3-fan cooler placed over the QuadCooler

The Evolution of the Laptop Cooler
Their first model was called notebook cooler and it was a small and very thin plastic platform that contained 3 fans. The biggest problem with the 3 fan cooler was not that it didn't have enough fans. No, the biggest problem is that the plastic construction was not strong enough or sturdy enough to handle the weight of the modern laptop computer. The plastic would tend to bend in on the fans and you could actually hear the fans rub against the fans. To be fair to the 3 fan cooler, it did work great with light weight laptops.

They Set Out to Design a Better Product
Their engineers analysed the problems with the 3 fan tricooler they recognized that the next laptop cooler had to be made of stronger, thicker plastic. It needed to be sturdy enough for the modern high powered laptop. For example, check out this high powered, gaming laptop by Sager Notebook Computer.

Here you can see the thickness comparison between the 2 coolers

The Dawn of a New Laptop Cooler
When the engineers were done designing the next generation of laptop cooler they came back with a 4 fan laptop cooler that was thicker, stronger, with special reinforcements structures around the fans that would prevent the plastic frame from bending in on the fans. The dimensions of the new laptop cooler were bigger than the original and that was to handle the larger dimensions of modern laptop or notebook computers with their ever increasing screen size. Low and behold a new paradigm in laptop cooling was designed. The makers of the QuadCooler are a good example of how you can learn from your mistakes to create a quality product like the QuadCooler laptop cooler.

GO FOR THE QUADCOOLER

2008-01-23T07:54:00.001-07:00

Above is a photo of the QuadCooler sitting on a desk

GO FOR THE QUADCOOLER

Think about it for a moment. If you want a fancy laptop cooler that comes with everything but the kitchen sink, then go to your local department store and buy the latest laptop cooler gadget combo package of the month. I'm series. Some laptop coolers come with a mini-mouse, card readers, USB hub, and every "bell and whistle" they can think of.

GO FOR THE QUADCOOLER

Now if maximum cooling in a thin light weight, easy to pack, design is your priority, then the choice is clear. You need to go for the original 4 fan laptop cooling platform called the QuadCooler. The QuadCooler features 4 evenly placed fans to provide balanced cooling to all the hot spots on your laptop computer. It is also conveniently powered by your laptop computer via a special USB cable (included).

GO FOR THE QUADCOOLER

The bad news is that you can't find the QuadCooler at your local Big Box Mart or Department Store, because at QuadCooler they only sell directly to the public via their online store. The good news is that you can purchase a QuadCooler any time of the day or night and all from the comfort of your home or office or wherever you do your online shopping. To make the purchase, simply visit QuadCooler.com and then you are only a click away from the secure online shopping cart.

IT'S GOT 4 FANS

2008-01-22T11:10:00.000-07:00

If you want a fancy laptop cooler with a bunch of bells and whistles search the web or go to your local department store. However, if you want maximum cooling in a rugged, but light-weight, easy to pack, platform, the choice is clear. GO FOR THE QUADCOOLER!

IT'S GOT 4 FANS
You might suspect from the name QUADCOOLER that this device must have 4 fans (or 4 of something). Well, you're right it's got 4 fans to provide evenly balanced cooling to all the hot spots on the bottom of your laptop or notebook computer. Therefore, if cooling is your top priority, I would highly recommend you take a look at the QuadCooler laptop cooling system.

The QuadCooler is about half an inch thick (actually .7 in thick) so it makes it easy to pack along with your laptop. Typically, the QuadCooler fits in the big pocket that most laptop carrying cases have.

USED BY THE U.S. MILITARY
Now think about that for a moment. What do you think would be the top priorities for a soldier out in the field (especially in the hot desert climate of the Middle East). They were looking to find a product that met the happy medium between maximum cooling and easy to pack light weight rugged design. The US Army chose the QuadCooler because of those factors. They didn't need a fancy cooler with bells and whistles. No, they needed a practical, no nonsense cooling solution for their laptops out in the field in real world situations.

Now ask yourself, what am I looking for in a laptop cooler? Can those fancy coolers say that they have 4 fans? I didn't think so.

Funny Blooper

2007-10-21T11:16:00.000-06:00

I have to tell you the truth. It took more than one shot to create the famous QuadCooler Crush Test video commercial. The result is that we had some pretty funny bloopers when the production was over. The one above is one of the more humorous clips I got my hands on. Watch the video and please leave your comments if you have any.

This is your brain on a laptop?

2007-10-15T10:02:00.000-06:00

Here's a new TV commercial style video that dramatically illustrates the fact that computers and more specifically laptops generate a lot of heat. It reminds me of the anti drug TV commercial from the 80's that said, "This is your brain and this is your brain on drugs". I think both videos do a good job of making a point. Pleaes leave your comments.

Topless Laptop Cooler?

2007-10-14T11:33:00.000-06:00

Yeah, they show a topless QuadCooler in this video, but it is to illustrate how the fans work and to show all the electronic goodies that are located inside a QuadCooler. Just watch the video.

Truck drives over laptop cooler

2007-10-13T12:44:00.000-06:00

The QuadCooler crush test was performed in order to determine just how strong the QuadCooler really is. In the video a pickup truck drives onto the QuadCooler and then stops and parks on top of the laptop cooler. The QuadCooler does not buckle under the weight of the vehicle that is parked on top of it. This goes to show that if the QuadCooler is strong enough to support a pickup truck, then it should be able to support even the biggest laptop or notebook computers.
