The Mx product line is designed for precise fit and maximum cooling efficiency with the latest generations of Apple laptops. The heatsink’s dimensions and features have been tailored for seamless integration with the current generation of 2021+ 16 and 14-inch MacBook Pros. The heatsink’s array of 28 cooling fins and air channels match the MacBook Pro’s processor location and built-in cooling system layout for improved heatsink cooling performance. The heatsink’s corner cutouts align with MacBook Pro vents for reduced heat gain and improved cooling performance. The heatsink coupling plate’s length and width provide optimal MacBook Pro heat extraction, along with stable laptop support.

The Mx’s high-degree of optimization for the 2021+ MacBook Pro laptops combined with the Mx heatsink gigantic size increases the MacBook Pro’s bottom surface area by up to 639% to help silently unlock the MacBook Pro’s peak performance potential. The Mx heatsink increases the MacBook Air’s bottom surface area by up to 679%.

DOCK SUPPORT COMPATIBILITY

When the Mx heatsink is paired with the dock supports, a number of innovative features improve the MacBook Pro’s built-in vent airflows when operating in closed-screen clamshell mode, such as deep cutouts along the back half of the laptop support shelf and a large opening behind the laptop support shelf. The dock supports use a leaning laptop position instead of a straight vertical position to maintain contact pressure on the heatsink’s thermally conductive coupling plate for improved heat transfer. The leaning position accommodates a wider range of laptop models and sizes, as well as tablets and other devices.

STAND SUPPORT COMPATIBILITY

When the Mx heatsink is paired with the high or low stand supports, the angled support system with padded front laptop tabs and four heatsink mounting positions offers compatibility with a wide range of laptops, tablets and other devices. Two of the heatsink’s mounting positions have been optimized for the 16-inch and 14-inch sizes of the 2021+ MacBook Pro, and the other two positions for the 2023+ 15-inch MacBook Air and 2022+ 13-inch MacBook Air. The stand support uses a laptop support angle close to horizontal, which maintains contact pressure on the heatsink’s thermally conductive coupling plate for improved heat transfer. The laptop can operate with the screen open or with the screen closed in clamshell mode.

EXTENSIVE COMPATIBILITY

The Mx heatsink’s dimensions are set to provide maximum silent heatsink cooling while simultaneously offering maximum modular flexibility through universal support design for compatibility with a wide range of laptop models and sizes, including compatibility with all prior metal Apple laptops. The Mx is also compatible with many other metal PC laptops, iPads, tablets and other devices.
