Logitech Cooling Pad N100 Improves Airflow Around Notebook,
Logitech Notebook Riser N110 Raises Notebook to Improve Comfort
FREMONT, Calif., Mar 18, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- You love your laptop. But you're worried about how hot it gets. And you
don't like hunching over to use it. Logitech (SIX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI)
today introduced the Logitech(R)
Cooling Pad N100 and the Logitech(R)
Notebook Riser N110, which extend the company's line of notebook
essentials that help make the laptop experience more
comfortable around the home.
While the laptop is now the form factor of choice for around-the-home
computing, Logitech research revealed that many people who feel that
what they gain in convenience, they lose in comfort. For example, more
than 60 percent of people surveyed reported using their laptops on the
couch. However, more than 50 percent of them are concerned about laptop
heat and 43 percent believe that excessive laptop heat can slow, or
damage, their computer. Among people who prefer a more structured
computing environment, more than 64 percent use their laptop on a desk,
but 41 percent report concerns about how this affects their posture.
"We've identified two ways in which people use their laptops around the
home - in structured spaces such as the home office, and unstructured
spaces like the living room," said Denis Pavillard, Logitech's vice
president of product marketing for keyboards and desktops. "Logitech now
offers a range of solutions that enhance the laptop experience with
designs based on our deep understanding of how people use their laptops
around the home - and their desire to enjoy the convenience of a laptop,
without sacrificing comfort."
Logitech helps address these needs with the Cooling Pad N100 and
Notebook Riser N110, as well as the previously introduced Comfort
Lapdesk.
Logitech Cooling Pad N100 - Improves Airflow Around Your Notebook
When you're using your laptop on the couch or bed or at a desk with your
favorite external keyboard and mouse, the Logitech Cooling Pad N100
improves airflow around your notebook. To help protect you from heat the
Cooling Pad N100 features a slotted surface, which allows the
USB-powered fan to distribute air quietly and evenly.
To create a steady, unobstructed airflow, the Cooling Pad N100 uses rear
air intake, unlike other cooling pads, which generate airflow from
angles that are easily blocked by the laptop itself or loose articles of
clothing. Plus, the enclosed, durable construction protects the internal
fan from dust and damage.
Designed for efficiency, the Cooling Pad N100 includes a low
power-consumption USB cable that connects to your computer with minimal
impact on your notebook's battery - while still delivering enough power
to improve airflow around the laptop.
Logitech Notebook Riser N110 - Elevates Your Notebook to Improve Your
Comfort
To help increase comfort when you're working at your desk, or any other
table around the home, the Logitech Notebook Riser N110 features an
ergonomically designed riser that elevates your notebook display to an
optimal viewing position.
You can use the Notebook Riser N110 with your favorite external keyboard
and mouse - such as the Logitech(R) V550 Nano and the Logitech(R) diNovo
Keyboard for Notebooks - and arrange each peripheral individually to
enhance your typing posture. The Notebook Riser N110 also features an
adjustable tilt - with 20-, 30- and 40-degree angles - and a
rubber-soled swivel base, so you can choose the position that feels best
to you. For your convenience, the Notebook Riser N110 flips open and
folds flat for easy setup, transport and storage.
Logitech, however, offers more than just a comfortable notebook
experience. Both the Cooling Pad N100 and the Notebook Riser N110
feature colors and a shape that fit seamlessly into your life. With
light gray surfaces, Tuscan green accents and rounded edges, the Cooling
Pad N100 and the Notebook Riser N110 will look good in any room you use
them.
Logitech Comfort Lapdesk for Notebooks - Offers More Comfort Anywhere
in Your Home
Announced in December 2008, the Logitech Comfort Lapdesk is designed to
shield you from the heat of your laptop and give you a stable base when
you're working on the couch, bed or even the floor. Unlike makeshift
solutions and other lapdesks, the Comfort Lapdesk features a four-layer,
heat-shielding design to protect you from the heat from your laptop.
When you're done using the computer, the Comfort Lapdesk's thin,
streamlined profile makes it easy to slide under a couch or bed, or it
can stand upright for storage next to the sofa.
