NZXT Cryo LX Notebook Cooler

NZXT is a company that started out by producing unique computer cases designed for computer enthusiasts and gamers that were built well, were not based off designs from other manufacturers, and carried a distinct set of features. We have reviewed several NZXT cases at Phoronix, but with time they have expanded to produce other products. One of their first non-enclosure products was a NZXT power supply, which has now led to a complete series of NZXT power supplies, and a thermal controller that can be installed into a 5.25-inch drive bay. Their latest venture, however, has led them to producing a notebook cooler. The NZXT Cryo LX is a large notebook cooler made of aluminum, has an integrated four port USB 2.0 hub, and uses three 120mm fans for active cooling.

Features:

- Built with thick aluminum for sturdy construction
- Brushed aluminum finish
- Raised design allows for less heat pockets and better airflow
- Three adjustable 120mm fans
- Four USB ports
- Folding design for easy storage and transportation
- Support for notebooks with 15", 17", and 19" wide screens
- 16.6" x 11.6" dimensions
