Intel works cooling tech for the thinnest future of laptops

Many laptops today are all hip and clean. When the challenge is to produce the lightest and the thinnest of them all, some graver issues remain hidden below the beauteous hood. Technology has brought batteries a long way, now more efficient Li-ion batteries rule the roost, yet maintaining even temperatures is serious concern still. Notebooks blast, people complain, but zilch has been done to address the problem. The world’s largest chipmaker, Intel, has worked a solution finally, as the developer has unveiled a cooling solution for notebooks that could let them live up to the purpose of their existence.

What’s Innovative:

When a laptop is placed on the lap, it often feels uncomfortable in a while; the machine can really get hot. This happens because the cooling technology only focuses on keeping the internal components cool and not the outside. But Intel plans to employ the cooling technology that jet engines use to un-heat for the laptops, which is called the laminar airflow cooling, which keeps walls of the jet cool.

Watch This:

What Intel showcased at Develop forum in Taipei, was an excerpt from the laminar airflow cooling technology; it was used in a process that kept the air flowing in parallel layers, to avoid heat seeping to the underside of the laptop. Intel’s concept technology could benefit upon the efficiency aspect of the notebooks as well, and may be seen in their forthcoming Calpella notebook.
