LapWorks Launches Cooling Laptop Stands

For those who find themselves using their laptops away from home a little less often than expected, LapWorks introduced two new laptop stands on Tuesday to keep desktop-bound portables cool and comfortable for users. The Attache and Envoy use similar designs to elevate notebook screens and pump hot air away from them.

Both stands feature a concave surface for the laptop to sit on, which allows air to circulate underneath with the aid of two USB-powered fans. While both units are constructed from ABS plastic, the pricier Attache gains an aluminum faceplate intended to help dissipate heat quicker. The stands have four different elevation settings along with four USB 2.0 ports to act as a hub.
