Razer’s new gaming laptop cooling pad really can boost your frame rate

Razer has just unveiled the imaginatively-named Laptop Cooling Pad, which is a laptop stand that the company claims can boost your laptop's performance. It may sound like an RGB-smothered gimmick of epic proportions, but we just got hands on with it and can vouch for it actually working.

While the best gaming laptops of the world should have enough built-in cooling capacity to maximise their gaming performance, the simple fact of the matter is that they often don't, and even when they do, just resting your laptop on certain surfaces can dramatically affect how well that cooling works. Any sort of laptop stand can help to maximise your laptop's cooling potential, but the Razer Laptop Cooling Pad in conjunction with its Razer Hyperboost feature takes things a step further.
