At the front of the unit, we can see two small plastic 'clips', which are used to keep the notebook securely in place during usage. However, the mainstay of the CoolStand 2 sits in the centre of the device, with the plastic platform which acts as the actual stand for the notebook, which can be adjusted through a handful of differently angled positions to suit your own work space and viewing/typing position. To complement the unit's stand, the CoolStand 2 also features a small, near silent fan positioned to draw heat away from the underside of the notebook. This is powered via USB (and the cable you can see attached and stored away in our screenshot). This naturally means that it takes its power from the laptop itself, although considering that the CoolStand 2 is aimed towards work or home usage when the notebook will almost certainly be plugged into the mains, this shouldn't be too much of a big deal to the majority of users.
