This is by far the most interesting looking laptop cooler I have around. Unfortunately it is in your laptop, so that although it looks very good, it is not seeing a whole lot. The strange shape of this USB cooler is inspired by an octopus. Although I would say it’s incredibly debatable as to whether it actually looks like an octopus. It is at least a draw the attention, while it keeps your laptop much more cool.

It has a double fan, so will hopefully be enough for laptops, which tend to burn hot. If it is not actually used, it can be folded for easy storage. This also means that it is much easier to slip it in your laptop bag and take it with you when you’re on. To the fans in operation, then plug it into the USB port on your laptop. It is a pretty basic gadget, but it makes things much easier for you.
