How has this not been done before? This gaming laptop's innovative integrated stand helps keep the CPU cooler — and helps with ergonomics too
New Japanese laptop boasts a clever cooling innovation that might catch on elsewhere.
Iiyama PC, a Japanese PC manufacturer, has unveiled a unique gaming laptop that features an integrated, fold-out stand. The stand elevates the 15-inch notebook slightly, allowing for improved cooling and better ergonomics. By lifting the device off the surface, the stand creates additional space for air to circulate, potentially reducing the CPU's operating temperature by up to 3C (5.4F) compared to when the laptop is flat.
The Level 15FX167 laptop is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 9 Processor 185H, 16GB of RAM, and an Nvidia RTX 5060 GPU, along with a 1TB SSD. While similar integrated stands exist in the laptop market, Iiyama PC's design is distinct from traditional kickstands found in devices like Microsoft's Surface laptops. This innovative approach raises questions about whether other manufacturers will adopt this idea and if it will be available in markets outside of Japan.
A potential concern is the stand's durability, and a review of the laptop should assess its strength and reliability.
