Air flow isn’t as good on 14” – 15” laptops. This is mainly due to the fact that manufacturers have fans pull up air from the bottom side of laptops
And not the center
Dock Limited to 500GB. While 500GB should be enough for the...
Notebook cooling pads are made in all shapes and sizes, but Choiix presents an especially interesting solution with the Air-Through Stash. Unfortunately, the haptic isn't completely convincing and the implementation of a solid state drive (SSD) is only be...
And now for the grand finale. The data transfer test. Okay, it's not going to be that grand, but it's part of the Choiix tour, so we have to check it out. Using HD Tach 3.0, I ran a Long Bench test with 32Mb zones. It took about 15 minutes and gav...

Abstract: Laptops are annoying. They are generally slower than desktops, come with less memory and smaller hard drives, and seem to overheat almost at a whim. Don't get me wrong, I don't know what I would have done without my netbook when I was stuck at the Pittsbu...

From a cooling standpoint the Choiix Air Through Stash just doesn’t impress me, however when you look at its other features it starts to build some momentum. For starters having an easy and quick way to increase storage for your laptop is a big plus...

The Choiix Air-Through Stash laptop cooler is a very simple device that expands on the laptop cooler concept by adding a 3 port USB hub and built in 2.5" SATA hard drive enclosure giving you a variety of storage and connectivity options. While the co...
On paper, the Choiix Air-Through Stash C-HL04 Notebook Cooling Pad offers a lot of added functionality and versatility that you may not find with other notebook coolers. For people who want to get more out of their laptops, this sounds like a very so...
Abstract: You’re most likely familiar with Cooler Master, but probably not their subsidiary Choiix. We reviewed another one of their cooling pads a while back. This time around they sent us one of their cooling pads for the ultra-portable bunch. The Air Through ...
I would like to thank Cooler Master for sending us the Choiix Air Through Stash to review. I have to admit I was more impressed than I originally imagined. I really like the built in hard drive port, and installing and using it was a snap. I ran dat...
Having the chance to take a look at most of the Choiix product line it’s clear what they set out to do with the Choiix brand. They product products that do a good job at enhancing your computing experience while also having enough style that you wo...
