I use a vertical laptop stand where I just close the laptop then dock it vertically to help save space. While using this I connect the laptop to a monitor with external keyboard and mouse and speakers/headset. The vertical laptop stand actually is decent for cooling as the temperatures in the vertical stand are actually on par or even better than those active laptop coolers.
@@JosellClark yeah , I also have one of those foldable ones to just leave in my laptop bag when i take it out but thats really the only choice if you need portability.
I used a laptop stand like you mentioned, not recommended at all for gaming/heavy tasks and/or if the vents are at the back of the machine (like gaming laptops). Read somewhere, that most laptops dissipate heat through some vents near the lid and keyboard so it's recommended to use the laptop open.
You need to try out the iets gt500, or even the iets gt300. They allow air to flow directly into your intake vents/ grills. The gt500 is considered to be one of the best (you showed it), it actually lowers temps and stops thermal throttling. You could check the klim kn01 (specifically the 4300rpm version). Check your temps and clock speeds if your going to test one like these. I used the gt300 before and it actually works.
Np, just remember, the higher that wattage your laptop uses, the more heat it creates, so you may need a more powerful cooler. I use an MSI GF63 i5 10500h (45 watts max, hits 50 when rendering) + GTX1650 Max Q (40watts max), with a klim kn01, it works well without thermal throttling unless I'm rendering something (Just that it'll take longer to thermal throttle and by the time it does, the render is completed). Love your vids, I already took some inspiration for a laptop desk setup with placing an SSD and Muktiport adapter at the back of my laptop with velco. Looking to get a right angle type c adapter to angle the multiport's cable along the length of the laptop rather than just having it sticking out. I'm also using a phone as a secondary monitor for smaller tasks, gonna attach it like those magsafe mounts for laptops.@@JosellClark
@@JosellClark i am using gt500 with asus rog strix SCAR 18 with i9 13980hx and 4090 and trust me there is nothing better. and yes it would be impossible to coool this laptop down without it
You gotta get the higher end laptop coolers for it to make a difference. I got the IETS - industrial fan that plugs into the wall and the laptop sits on a foam seal, and it has a cleanable air filter to save the laptops internal fans. It can legitimately cool the laptop down 10 degrees Celsius or more. It was $80. the $20-$40 dollar ones seem pretty useless though. Anyway thanks for the vid, the rest is very informative, looking for a plain stand myself.
At home, my improvised laptop stand is the two foam packaging for my laptop that I would place below the left and right side of the laptop. But at my boarding house, I just positioned the laptop near the edge so that the air vent is sticking out from my very small foldable table.
Generic stands for gaming laptops are a bad idea, they don’t support in the right places and can even block some air intakes. Gaming laptops are designed to sit on all of their feet to stop motherboard warping that causes cracked solder. Do NOT stand the rear feet on books!! It bends the chassis. No stand on the market supports my ROG G18, which is HEAVY and has 5 feet plus several support beams under vital parts of the chassis, all of which need to rest on a rigid surface to keep the chassis and motherboard from bending in the middle over time. I had to build my own bespoke stand in the end which, although not pretty, supports the whole laptop and drops CPU temps by 5 degrees.
thanks for the great tip! Unfortunately, not everyone has the time or patience to build their own stand. Especially when people replace their laptops after a few years or so. But thanks for the insight!
I'm using a 360 rotating stand from Ugreen. I have yet to find a use case for the rotation feature, but it's nice to have nonetheless! Rotation is smooth and tactile, it has a satisfying feeling. Actually I do find myself adjusting it a tiny bit (few mms) depending on how I'm sitting, but that might just be an OCD thing. Quality on the stand is top notch, but that's to be expected from a 50$ stand.
ICE COOREL 8 fan stand/cooler is a great solution to a cooler/stand. I tested during benchmarking and it surprisingly efficient. The bonus is it's not too loud. My SCAR 16 fans are louder when gaming !
Hey I am going to buy an HP Omen or Legion Slim 5 I am getting a metal foldable stand with 5 lvls of height adjustment locally made is it okay for me ? I travell a lot as a college student and i am getting one for travel Or should i get a laptop sleeve like the leather 2in1 with a magnetic part folding up to a stand (fake though 😅)
Thanks for the nice video man. Regarding the laptop cooler. I understand your frustration here. First that is NOT really a stand though it does raise the laptop overall height just about 1-2 inches and a good one like for example the IETS Turbo fan ones would allow the back of the laptop to be raised quite a bit to help move the heat out and lift the screen up. They also have a sealer between the laptop and the stand to increase the efficiency of the cooling and a dust filter to filter the air before its pumped in. This will do its magic in the long run by keeping most of the dust out of the inside of the laptop. Dust settling inside the laptops create & retain more heat. So this is why a cooler along with a good blower to blow out the dust inside is good practice everyone should follow for the computers longevity. A laptop cooler and a stand have 2 different main purposes. If you have used a software like CPUID HW monitor to monitor the temperatures you should see a clear difference when laptops are run for longer periods. When you first start up a laptop obviously it won't show a difference. But as you go on for many hours as many do it will show you a clear difference. This is even more important for gamers and high spec gaming laptops as they tend to produce more heat due to more power.
@@JosellClark I can understand that its your personal preference. Someone using a laptop for some basic stuff may not need it. However that is a necessity for gaming computers. With all the graphics and processing you do not want the laptop you paid too many thousands of USD for to not be taken care of for longevity, stability, less lag etc
One of the criteria for a "good laptop stand" is portability. We can't always use a keyboard on tight spaces like coffee shops or airports when work needs to get done. Not all of us sit at home to work or play bro.
@@JosellClark I'd say that without external keyboard even if you are at home to work or play all day it still might actually be better. I currently have the back of my laptop propped up with a book and I much prefer the slightly angled keyboard to it just being flat.
how to say your a nerd
1. make/watch a tier list for holding a laptop.
that is all
How to tell when someone has nothing going on with their lives
1. talk sh*t on the comments section
@@JosellClark what else is their to do while watching.....ohhh yeah be offended you got that covered tho so the cycle is complete..

I heard the vertical stand is bad for the laptop's monitor because the of the heat
@@hanhan005_5 gaming laptops only, for my laptop the vents and exhaust are both clear when its closed so its fine

bro I feel exactly the same way lol. It's not the best but it's what I use the most at home 😂
6:31 I literally had this same laptop with this same kingston flash drive lol
So generic 😂😂😂
Great video. i use the last kind myself.
the best kind 😂👌
My improvised stand is an old box 🤣😭😂 I thought I was the only one
can u believe it that i had literally a book under my laptop as a stand as i was watching this video
hahaha a true champion indeed

Been using an improvised (glasses case) stand for a year now. About to graduate to an amazon basics adjustable foldable ☺
worthy investment my dude!
I've been useing a yoga block for about 6 years. Works great.
hahaha that's a great alternative

I was wondering which one is the best one I have a kinda small desk. I wanna buy a stand and a keyboard for my laptop
get the one that's available and affordable my g
Where did you buy your Nexstand K7?
hey man I bought it from a local store called Lazada
Bro I think you never tried iets gt series cooler stand and those from llano and klim, it will change the way you think about laptop coolers.
I have one from Llano but it’s too massive for my desk and gamery looking 😂
Take 4 plastic bottle covers. make 2 pairs with them and use them like a mushroom stand. Pretty good and it's free
hahaha that's pretty smart my dude
Great Video Josell!
Do you edit them yourself?
yes man! why lol
@@JosellClark That's Great .
I'm a video editor and will save your time by editing them for you. I can share my portfolio with you. Let's connect:)
Mini riser is straight trash, hardly gives you any lift. You want lift to raise the screen to eye level
try traveling anywhere with a bulky laptop stand bro 👍
wake up babe, new Josell Clark video just came out
😂😂😂 Merry Christmas tropa!
Adjustable standable from ugreen looks good on the photos, I’d rather try it to buy on aliexpress
Exactly lol but most of these doesn’t have physical stores 😩
where's the diy shoebox one! been using the same box since covid lol!
haha I never thought of that one. But it's awesome that you got creative 😂
i love your video, wish success
thanks for the kind words my guy!
Those laptop coolers are for the fabless Macs
haha I love your creativity my guy
tier list of budget keyboard
once I get enough knowledge about it 👌
Thanks mate
you are very welcome mate
just what i needed
happy to help haha
Thank God for this video
Thank God for this comment
🤣 - Free Stand is hysterical! I have built my own with wood and risers for the bottom to exhaust heat better.
haha dang you took the free stand to a different level 😂
i use lego technic for a improvized stand, im kinda broke
Probably the most expensive improvised stand I’ve heard so far 😂
@@JosellClark nah, i kinda used 2$ worth of lego, and its highly customizable, and i have 6 levels of highness for da laptop
Iets and llano are the only laptop cooler u should try. The rest are 🗑️
Llano actually sent me their cooler and it's not that bad! Kinda big though lol
Thanks
This list is so hilariously bad, guy doesn't even realise you're not supposed to use the keyboard on your laptop when it's on a stand 🤡

Lousy video
New law invented guys. It is now criminalized to not fork out extra money for an additional keyboard whilst using your laptop on a stand!
Great content why didn’t you. Engine the 12 high rise on apples website looks really good
I haven't checked it out yet thanks for the info 👍
