Page 2 – Closer look

Laptop coolers from the RNC series are packed in a cardboard box, mot much bigger then them, yet still well protected. On the front there are photos of the product in the colour we picked. On the back we can see few more photos as well as product specifications:

Here are the specifications of the two products:

The RNC coolers in their essence are big aluminum slab, raised from both sides (elevation is higher in the back). On top of them are the fan openings that have rather restricting grills. Around the right fan we have a round and on the front is the Revoltec logo:

On the bottom of the cooler id the ban block – respectively two 70 mm or three 80 mm fans and two drawers. One of them is for the extension USB cable, that provides the power for the cooler. The other drawer is empty, but by the looks of it is intended for storing flash drives. According to the manufacturer the fans can be mounted both ways. Be it sucking air from the laptop or blowing it to it - it is for you to choose:

One of the characteristics of there pads according to the manufacturer is that they can be used as stationary or as mobile. Considering the size and weight of both pads, mobile work was a thing I did not attempt – I do not consider carrying a piece of metal of this caliber along with my laptop to be practical.

While testing with 14” and 17” laptops we found out that they fit rather well to RNC-2100 and RNC-3000 respectively – they stick out from the sides very slightly. The pads have low ledge on the front in order to prevent the computer from sliding off. As we said their back side is rather high, thus the laptop screen conveniently raised. On the right side are the two USB ports (of which only one is available should the other be plugged to the laptop) and the fans switch:

We tried a 15,4” laptop too – as you can see the small pad is too small and the big pad is too big. As to how comfy are the pads when in use we'll find on the next page...
