The stylish Notebook Cooling Base provides reliable cooling with a built-in fan and efficient cooling channel to prevent overheating of notebooks. The base is easy to use with any notebook and is contoured to rest on both desks and users’ laps, providing a comfortable typing angle. The Notebook Cooling Base is just 1.16 inches thick and is USB-powered. So, no need of batteries and a cable management clip is there to allow the cable to be neatly stored when not in use. The device will be available in white and black. It is expected to hit the stores in July for an estimated retail price of $29.95 (U.S).
Microsoft also announced that it has updated the Arc Mouse with frost white, eggplant purple, deep olive green and marine blue colors. The sleek, collapsible design of Arc Mouse folds to reduce the mouse’s size by almost half. The Arc Mouse in special edition colors is available this month for an estimated retail price of $49.95 (U.S).
