• Compatible Apple / Mac Laptops: MacBook Pro 16/14” M1 Max/Pro 2021, MacBook Pro 13” M1 2020-2021, MacBook Pro 16/15/13” TouchBar 2016-2020, MacBook Pro 15/13” Retina 2012-2015, MacBook Air 13” M1 2020-2021, MacBook Air 13” Retina 2018-2020, MacBook Air 13/11” 2008-2017, MacBook 12” Retina 2015-2018, and more based on the compatibility criterial listed below.
• Compatible PC Laptops: Oversized gaming to small PC laptops per the compatibility criterial listed below.
• Compatibility Criteria for Types: Works with laptops operated in open-screen or closed-screen clamshell mode.
• Compatibility Criteria for Fit: Works with all Mac and PC laptops that are at least 9.5 inches wide (side-to-side) and 10.25 inches deep (front-to-back). We are not aware of any laptop made that is too large or too heavy for the Cooling Stand’s substantial heavy bolt and oversized metal support structure.
• Compatibility Criteria for Cooling: Works with laptop built-in cooling system designs and layouts of which we are aware. Cooling performance improves with devices that have the following attributes, where more attributes result in more cooling: 1) Metal enclosures / chassis to absorb heat and then transfer it to passive cooling airflow. 2) Laptop used without customer installed surface covering that traps heat, reducing the ability to transfer heat to surroundings. 3) Larger laptop size for increased surface area cooling. 4) Hot air exhaust vents located along the back screen hinge edge to exhaust rising hot air. 5) Cool air intake vents located on the bottom underside surface, along the front edge, or along the front portion of the side edges to pull in fresh cool air.
• Compatibility Criteria for User Accessories: The Cooling Stand’s solid front panel blocks cooling fan airflow and noise, as well as hides cord clutter and user accessories. When placing user accessory items that generate heat, then some portion of that heat will transfer to the laptop through line-of-site proximity heat radiation, rising hot air currents, and/or fan driven air movement. To lessen heat transfer to the laptop, or when maximum laptop cooling is desired, then avoid placing items that generate heat close to the laptop.
• Note: See Laptops page to learn about Apple laptop’s built-in cooling systems and SVALT model recommendations.

COLORS

• B16/B05 with black frame and black blades.
• R17 with black frame and red blades.
• W20 with black frame and white blades.
• B14 with black frame and black blades.
• G17 with light gray frame and dark gray blades.

• Products use bolted modular cooling systems with bolted and snapped fan assembly so that nearly any standard fan can be used. See this product page specifications for details, and see accessories for replacement fans.

• Gray bead blasted anodize finish.
• Black bead blasted anodize finish.
• Silver bead blasted anodize finish.

• Satin silver and glossy black anodized finishes are brighter than matte anodize.
• Anodized parts are pre-finished by hand and then anodized by hand in small batches. The anodize color may vary slightly between parts.
• Matte black anodize finish may show some finger prints, but can be cleaned with a microfiber cloth, or using a damp cloth with soap and water.
• Anodized part’s bottom and/or back surfaces are considered non-cosmetic finish.
• Cooling Stand arm, leg and cooler cover parts are made from steel and have a matte black powder coat finish. The parts have non-cosmetic conditions around the through holes used for mounting holes.

• The thermally conductive interface is engineered and assembled for technical performance (thermal coupling and preventing metal-to-metal scratching) over cosmetics.
• The interface is not engineered to be perfectly even in color or finish. With exposure to heat from coupling with the device, surface color variations may even out over time.
• The underlying aluminum surface is pre-finished and anodized for improved coupling and not for a perfectly even color finish.
• The color hue varies depending on the underlying anodized aluminum colors of silver, gray and black, with silver being the brightest yellow-orange and black being the darkest.
• Limit touching thermally conductive surface as it easily absorbs oil from fingers and hand. Use a microfiber cloth to cleaning surface, or use a damp cloth but do not allow any moisture to get near edges where it could contact and potentially damage adhesives.
