The MxD / MxDW Cooling Dock models pair the Mx heatsink with aluminum and wood dock side supports to take the 4th generation DHCR’s exceptional silent thermally conductive heatsink cooling to the next level.

• 202% increase in thermally conductive coupling area to silently extract more heat from the laptop processor location when compared to the DHCR 4th gen (219% increase over 1st, 2nd, 3rd gen).
• 365% increase in cooling fin surface area to silently remove more heat from the heatsink and to provide more cooling when compared to the DHCR 4th and 3rd gen (579% increase over 1st, 2nd gen).
• New enormous 140mm fan bolts directly onto heatsink to boost heatsink cooling performance with maximum cooling and minimum noise.
• New 140mm fan combines with the 80mm fan’s direct internal processor cooling for even greater cooling capabilities.
• New steeper leaning laptop support angle for increased stability and heatsink coupling efficiency.
• New modular laptop support system for multiple workstation setups with the massive heatsink.
• New wood modular laptop supports for natural aesthetic, lower cost, and increased sustainability with fast-growing and renewable bamboo material.
• New cable management system hides cable clutter and holds cables in place for quick laptop setup.
• New custom anodized aluminum adjustable height feet level uneven surfaces for rock solid laptop support.
• New modular sustainable packaging system made of cardboard and paper-based materials for easy recycling and reduced environmental impact.

The MxS-hi / MxSW-hi / MxS-lo / MxSW-lo Cooling Stand models pair the Mx heatsink with aluminum and wood stand supports to bring silent thermally conductive heatsink cooling to the Cooling Stand product line for the first time.

• Radicle increase in silent cooling capabilities for open-screen and closed-screen laptops.
• Option for even larger and quieter 140mm cooling fan.
• New modular laptop support system for multiple workstation setups with the massive heatsink.
• New wood modular laptop supports for natural aesthetic, lower cost, and increased sustainability with fast-growing and renewable bamboo material.
• New custom anodized aluminum adjustable height feet level uneven surfaces for rock solid laptop support.
• New modular sustainable packaging system made of cardboard and paper-based materials for easy recycling and reduced environmental impact.

The MxD / MxS-hi / MxS-lo / MxDW / MxSW-hi / MxSW-lo models have minor differences, so select the Mx model that best meets your workstation setup and aesthetic preferences. However, when preferences for workstation setups and aesthetics are less of a factor, then the following comparisons may aide in selection.

Mx Aluminum vs Wood Supports

Aluminum Support Advantages

• Aluminum supports include custom adjustable height feet with matching anodize colors to level uneven surfaces with an increased range of adjustment and ability to quickly readjust at different locations.
• Aluminum supports are 0.200 inches thinner, which slightly improves cooling.
• Aluminum supports are available with anodize colors similar to Apple laptops and optional reduced cost raw aluminum supports and heatsink.

Wood Support Advantages

• Wood support Mx models start at a significantly lower price.
• Wood supports are made from FSC certified 100% Bamboo plywood with formaldehyde-free binder. Bamboo is a strong, durable, fast-growing, rapidly-renewable, biodegradable, and more environmentally friendly material.
• Wood supports are available with a warm natural bamboo material and optional reduced cost raw aluminum heatsink.

Mx Dock vs Stand Supports

Dock Support Advantages

• Frees up desk space with a leaning upright laptop position for a more compact reduced desk footprint.
• Accommodates a wide variety of laptop models a sizes with unique patented leaning clamshell support system.
• 140mm or 80mm fan compatibility for flexibility with different laptop models, as well as simultaneous running of both 140mm and 80mm fans for increased cooling performance.

Stand Support Advantages

• Flexibility of operating laptop with the screen-closed in clamshell mode or with the screen open for use of the laptop’s built-in display and keyboard/trackpad.
• Accommodates a wide variety of laptop models a sizes with an adjusting setup from four heatsink mounting positions.
• Near horizontal laptop support position presses laptop weight onto the heatsink for increased conductive heat transfer.

Mx High vs Low Stand Supports

High Support Advantages

• Steeper laptop angle and elevated height (6.5 / 6.7” 16-inch MacBook Pro) for improved viewing ergonomics and improved alignment with external monitors.
• 140mm fan compatibility for extra-large size with increased airflow for a given amount of noise generation and for removing more heat from the heatsink.

Low Stand Support Advantages

• Lower laptop angle and height for improved laptop keyboard typing ergonomics and for a lower profile workstation setup.
• 80mm fan compatibility for heatsink cooling as well as direct internal processor cooling of laptops with a central intake vent.
