Hardly new - there are 4 other lap top ramps/coolers out there that I know of, some with useful quasi-docking station facilities and adjustable tilt (I like 8cms minimum raise at the back of my LT, so this MS offering is a too low) for half this price. True, none I know has a fan, but how essential is this really? I seem to be always looking for more USB ports (I have 4 and they are not always enough) Giving up one just as a power outlet is not attractive.
Surely by now they could have designed a solar powered fan for something this size?
Also, the photos confuse me - there appears to be two completely different products shown?
