  • Aluminum design, Foldable makes it easier to travel with, Fits all laptops up to 19inches!, 4 port USB hub
  • None!
  • Knowing NZXT as mainly a maker of cases and power supplies I wondered how well the Cryo LX would perform. After seeing the quality they put into it and the performance I am impressed. Not many companies use aluminum in notebook coolers, I am glad to s...

  • While the NZXT Cryo LX's size and large carrying shape make it impractical for the road warrior with the ultralight notebook, it does do an excellent job of serving as cooler, stand, and additional USB port source for 15-inch and larger notebooks. If y...
