    I'm very interested in this but I think I need some reviews first. Is the currency in Chinese Yuan? If it is, it's really cheap for that 20 C decrease in temperatures. And international priority shipping is only 30 yuan extra!

    It's like one of these.

    You basically attach it to your laptop vent.

    You should see some short term improvements but in the long run, adding one of these devices is ultimately bad for your laptop fan. The external fan you attach to the vent will most likely be running at a higher RPM and moving more CFM of air than your stock laptop fan. This will make your laptop fan spin at a higher RPM than it was designed for.

    The description is in Chinese and not everyone here can read it.

    Also, there is no technical specs on this cooler. eg CFM, RPM, dimensions, weight etc.

    All the website says is it's hand-made by a father & son (company?) and are different from factory produced coolers. The website also lists a few notebooks that are compatible with the cooler. The Q&A section is a bit misleading as some of the answers are not true. For example, regarding the power consumption of the cooler, the seller is stating that the cooler only uses several Watts pulled from a USB port, laptops using a 90W power adapter will be fine because " laptops will use only 50-some watts".
