Mx Build Configurations

Selecting Build Configurations
The Mx is a fully modular product line with each model including multiple exchangeable components so that a customer can optimize cooling performance for their current and future laptop models, as well as adapt workstations to their current and future preferences.

Selecting Heatsink Aluminum Supports
The Mx modular system is built around a massive heatsink with three different laptop support types that bolt onto the heatsink. Multiple support types can be bundled together in a single order with a $20 discount for an additional set of supports, and with a $60 discount when bundling two additional sets of supports. This provides customers with the ability to switch supports out for a variety of laptop workstation setups.
See the Compatibility and Workstations sections under Mx Features to learn more about side support and workstation features.

Selecting Aluminum Support Color
The Mx aluminum side supports are available in the following anodize colors with bead-blasted finish:

Silver Anodize Aluminum: A clear anodize with light gray color similar to Apple’s Silver finish available on all Mac laptops.

Space Gray Anodize Aluminum: A gray anodize similar to Apple’s Space Gray finish available on MacBook Pros from 2016 to 2023 and MacBook Airs from 2018+.

Space Black Anodize Aluminum: A dark gray anodize similar to Apple’s Space Black finish available on MacBook Pros from 2023+.

See the Workstations section under Mx Features to learn more about support and workstation features.

Selecting Cooling Systems
The massive Mx heatsink provides silent thermally conductive cooling, and is also available with a variety of fan cooling systems to boost cooling performance. The heatsink includes threaded holes for a 140mm fan to bolt directly onto the heatsink. The heatsink also works with the separate 80mm Fx Cooling Fan accessory. Both 140mm and 80mm fan systems are available with either fixed-speed or adjustable-speed control. Each support type is compatible with the following fan cooling systems, and when ordering multiple support types that are compatible with different fan cooling systems, then both fan cooling systems can be bundled together in a single order:

Dock supports are compatible with both 140mm and 80mm fans.

Stand high supports are compatible with 140mm fans.

Stand low supports are compatible with 80mm fans.

See the Cooling section under Mx Features and see the 140/80mm Fans sections under Mx Tech Specs to learn more about heatsink and fan cooling system features.

Selecting Future Configurations
The Mx product line is a reconfigurable right-to-repair modular system allowing for customers to purchase Mx components and accessories in the future to change their workstation as needed for different laptop support setups, different laptop support materials, different laptop support colors, different laptop cooling, etc.
See Mx Components and the Fx Cooling Fan accessory product pages.
