I am curious... I've a couple different ones, and they don't seem to actually do a whole lot... my poor laptop could use some help

I have this one: https://www.amazon.com.au/gp/product/B00FPR8FLY/

No idea why it's so expensive now, I paid about $50 for it. It works very well, perhaps look for something with similar features?

Did you recently move from the US to Australia?

[–] indomara 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I moved to Australia from the States about 9 years ago, funnily enough, but bought that laptop cooler two years ago.

Oh, okay. I asked because $96.66 is equivalent to $65.27 USD. Beyond that, the ~$15 difference could be from inflation. But I guess that's not the case, since you've been in Australia 7 years longer than you've had that cooling pad.

Yeah, I know. That's why I asked. I know there's a big disparity in the value of Australian and American dollars. Though, the same is kinda true of Canadian and American dollars.
