Obviously, too much heat generated by the laptop decreases battery life, not to mention the hardware. This is where the Xpad's cooling system springs into action, preventing huge heat build-ups in the laptop.

At just 1 lb, it's lightweight - you can simply carry it around in your laptop bag - and it's flexible enough to fit screen sizes up to 17".

The patent-pending three-layer protection works like this: the first layer has risers that increase airgap under the laptop to increase heat insulation and improve cooling at the same time. The second layer (made of ABS) has a lightweight platform with insulative air pockets inside. The third layer has EVA insulation material and offers a padded non-slip interface, so you can keep it even on inclined surfaces.

At US $19.95 (excluding S&H), the Xpad is available online at the Xpad site.
