The fans are rifle bearing, and have a speed of 1000, 1500, and 2000RPM for the low, medium, and high speeds, respectively. The Notepal is made of aluminum and plastic materials, as well as a metal mesh surface to allow for optimal cooling. Simply place the laptop on the Notepal, select a speed, connect the USB cord, and hit the power button. There are three levels of fan power that can be selected via a switch, as well as a power button to, well, turn it on. To further help with cable management, Cooler Master has included a thin right-angled alcove on the bottom of the Notepal for the slack of the cord to run through, as well as retractable hooks situated on the back to hold not only excess USB cable but any others, such as a power cord or other devices. One end of the USB connector plugs into the back of the cooler and one into an open USB port on the laptop, powering the Notepal and eliminating an extra power cord. The Notepal can be used for laptops anywhere from 12in to 17in in width, which trumps the usual 15.4in restrictions of most cooling pads. The Notepal Infinite features four anti-slip rubbers that do a great job of keeping the laptop from moving while in use. Unpackaging and set-up is very simple right out of the box. Included is a 500mm, or 1.64ft, USB 2.0 connection cable. Inside, the Notepal is packaged around two foam placeholders to protect it from shipping damage. Whatever use you may find in it, its a great addition. The Notepal Infinite comes packaged in a box that is becoming quite standard these days: a sleek appearance with a convenient plastic handle installed for those hauling notebooks to and fro. Cooler Master has created a solution for both. Extensive use creates stress on the system and many styles' neglected ergonomics create stress on the user. But when a user takes a laptop beyond spreadsheets and blogging, there are certain areas that are left lacking. There are a lot of things a laptop provides: generally low power consumption, connectivity, and portability to name a few.
