Feature:
Application for Notebook & Desktop.

"Thermaltake" convenient solution with extremely "Mobile" concept inside.
Perfect accessory for NB & PC.
Directly plug into USB port. Unnecessary additional power supply.
VR knob: Adjust fan speed manually.
One-touch retractable USB power cable box.
Slim USB power cable, only 0.6 mm in depth.
With "Tt" badge fan grille to avoid touching accidentally.

What do you guys think? Stupid or useful?

Seems totally useless to me, unless of course you plan on cooling yourself with it.

I feel its pointless unless running on AC power; if your laptop generates that much heat, it must use up alot of battery power..Using an extra fan will drain more power from the laptop battery

Brilliant, now I can get blow jobs while I work.

There have been times when something like this would be nifty... and then I remember that I have a ceiling fan.

Hell thats an old idea!! PCToys had these several years ago, can't remember what they called them, but it was mainly used and advertised for personal cooling during a LAN party.............It flopped! Thermaltake has had this item, maybe not this exact product, for some time as well.

Watercooling is better.

That doesn't even make sense. It's a personal cooler N()()B.
