-8 Degrees C?!

[jorweeck]

I came across this product when I was at an Apple Store in HK. I asked the clerk if it really does work. All he said was: "I think so."

Not very convinced with what he said, I opted to get the BT mouse instead of that since they cost the same.

But... I've experienced the horror of my warping 12" PB, I think I need this to avoid it.

Is there anyone in the forum who has this? Any review from a website? Does it really work?

Thanks!

Is it an active cooler of some sort? Any link to the product page? Looks interesting.

Oooooh.

I saw that on this great Japanese Mac website with fantastic accessories somewhere, but I couldn't read the page. I'll try to find it.

Always wanted to get one. How much was it, do you remember?

Saw that too in a shop here in Causeway Bay. Yup, it's a cooler of some sort. Unfortunately, they only had stock for the 12 & 15 inchers (books, that is). Here's a link to the product, though the description is kinda short.

Found the link I was talking about.

I've tried using babel fish's translation with the site but it comes out even more uncomprehendable. The price is at HK$ 500.00.

Trivia: pawasapo is actually short for Power Supply. Japanese just love their own abbreviation for things.

Somehow, I think the manufacturer's exaggerating, especially with the -4 deg Celsius claim. I doubt it can even lower the temperature to 20 degrees, hehe. :-)

Baka Power Support, as in support products for PowerBooks?

I saw this PB stand but I think spending for it will not be very practical specially when we can use existing gadgets at home to do the trick.

In my case, I took my lonely pair of speaker spikes, wrapped it with blue tack to keep the spike and the holder in place to become my -10C IT WORKS!
