Laptop handle doubles as heat sink
Case-Mate has created three funky new gadgets for Apple Computer's MacBook Pro and PowerBook--an industrial combination handle and heat sink, a transparent stand and a laptop sleeve.
Handle-It is a handle that screws into the existing holes in an Apple MacBook Pro or PowerBook. The handle is made of aircraft aluminum, stainless steel Allen screws and a Napa leather casing. When not in use as a handle, it rotates underneath the laptop for use as a passive heat sink with fins.
The Silhouette is a transparent polycarbonate laptop stand. The three-piece construction of the stand compresses into a 1.5- inch thick box for travel.
Then there's a laptop sleeve called "glovez." The sleeve is designed to fit a laptop up to 15.4 inches. It's constructed out of nylon with leather piping and double Velcro closures. The interior is made of soft neoprene to deter scratches.
The MSRP for the Handle-It is $49.99 and $24.99 for glovez. The Silhouette has an MSRP of $34.99 and is available on April 25. Orders for the items can be placed for Friday at the company site.
