EVO LAPTOP ARM

I was telling you yesterday about a winning laptop accessory from Innovative Office Products, which received a honorable mention at the Red Dot Product Design Awards 2008. It is a stand for laptop computers, with the highest adjustability level from all models we encountered on the market, and you can use it in any position, with the possibility to carry it with you wherever you go in your bag.

The laptop arm i want to show you now comes from the same US manufacturer and its main characteristic is that you can suspend it over the desk at any height you feel its most comfortable. EVO is designed to be easy to attach on the desk and remove from it when needed, while using a multi-use bracket matching both laptop computers and tablet PCs. It provides a high flexibility level as well as the possibility to adjust it in space in the right position, allowing free access to jacks and ports.

You can extend the aluminum-casted arm up to 18 inches and +/-5 inches vertical from horizontal, and use the integrated cable management to free space on your desk, arranging the wires in a smarter way.
The floating laptop arm features mount clamps for the desk or grommet, and you could benefit from using it especially in cases when you need to find an ergonomic position in the most complicated office space, and even in situations when you are not allowed to get up from bed having to continue your work on the laptop.

TARGUS LAPTOP REMOTE

A laptop remote control would be useful especially for presentations when you’d need a fast-responsive small device for exposing your projects, fast-switch between applications to quickly find what you are looking for, launch the Internet for showing examples related to your work, and one-button e-mail access to not lose precious time.

Targus provides such a solution with its AMP01US Wireless Multimedia Presenter, a small remote measuring 1.3 x 2 x 4.7 inches, with a 4-pin detachable USB receiver, featuring wireless transmission at up to 50 ft, and powered by two AAA batteries.
It comes with a 3-inch USB extension cable and is available at $67.24.

You can control your laptop from distance using buttons (left, middle, right, trackball, power switch, alt-tab, mode select, Internet and e-mail) for page-up/down, ESC, volume up/down, play/pause, watching the green LED for mouse mode, red LED for presentation mode and yellow LED for multimedia functions.

Targus AMP01US is a 4-in-1 device combining the functionality of a trackball mouse, laser pointer, multimedia controls and presenter.

HOW TO PREVENT YOUR LAPTOP FROM OVER-HEATING

Laptops are machines, and they do overheat. No matter what any company says about their laptops, it is an inevitable fact that all laptops do tend to overheat at some moment or the other. Now firstly, let us understand how laptops work.

Laptops have an internal system of functioning, just like any CPU or for that matter, any other electronic device. Now since a lot of electricity passes through these internal parts, and a LOT of processes take place every second of you operating the machine, as a result, these circuits and systems tend to become hot due to all the activity.

Before you start blaming your laptop manufacturer right away, you must understand that most laptops manufactured after the year 2003 tend to have prevention measures in place for overheating. These laptops have certain vents on their lower body (on the sides and bottom) which allow the hot air to pass out of the laptop after it is blown away by a fan inside the machine (or a blower)

I know certain tech geeks who insist on taking off the lower covering of their laptop whenever they go hardcore gaming or into any other process that requires a lot of CPU usage. This helps a LOT in fact but for most normal people this isn't the obvious *way to go* solution. So what can you do to prevent your laptop from overheating then?

- Don't use in high temperatures
Don't use your laptop when the temperature is high (Above 40 degrees). This might cause your laptop to overheat very quickly (as normally the laptop is hotter than the outside temperature, which is called the base temperature).

- Prevent use in humid conditions
Don't use your laptop for a very long time (exceeding two hours) or for gaming when the conditions are above 60% humid. Because this causes the hot air blown out of the laptop to find it difficult to escape (Since vapor is generally denser than normal air and the molecules find it pave their way out)
