    Hello everyone. My name is Jarred Cool. I am a senior at Greenfield Central High School Indiana. I am in the PLTW Engineering Design and Development class. For our capstone project, we are required to conduct large scale market research. For this, each person in our three person group is posting our survey on our respective forums we use. So, if you would please do this short, multiple choice survey for us, we would greatly appreciate it. The survey is for us to know exactly what the consumer of an entirely new laptop cooling device would want.

    THIS IS NOT SPAM! THIS IS ENTIRELY FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES!

    If anybody choose light and thin at the cost of performance please disregard their answers. They clearly don't understand the point of a laptop cooler. :D j/k

    It's not intercooler, it's a laptop cooler. It won't do much if 99% of the bottom cover is blocking the airflow anyways (which is what 99% of what mainstream laptop manufacturers do).

    An intercooler would pass the air through a radiator first before allowing it to be used to draw heat from the heatsink fin array. Which would be really big and complicated to manufacture.

    Not taking the survey until you explain to me what the heck a laptop "intercooler" is.
