Hardware Review
Vizo Ninja
Ahhh! The holiday season has just concluded. We here at Unique Rigs received a few cool products during the holidays. We hope all of you had a wonderful holiday. Let's start off the new year with a product from Vizo, the Ninja notebook cooler. This is the first time we will be reviewing a laptop accessory, hooray! We would like to thank the Vizo team for making this review possible.
Vizo Technology Corporation specializes in computer peripherals, ranging from notebook coolers to external enclosures. Many laptops these days have replaced traditional desktop computers for home use. One major concerns home users find themselves with is keeping their laptop cool for prolonged use. The most common solution to this is the addition of a notebook cooler. Vizo has released the Ninja for laptop users to keep their notebooks cooled. Here are a few specifications of the VIZO Ninja:

| USB Bus Power : 5V / 500mA |
| DC Fan Dimensions : 70 x 70 x 15 ( 2 PCS ) |

Let's take a further look at the Vizo Ninja. The Ninja is made up of aluminum housing, for excellent heat dissipation. For airflow, the Ninja uses dual fans which are rated at 2000RPM with a noise level of 20dBA. The fans are powered through USB, so an adapter is not needed for power. It also sports a very ergonomic angle design to give the laptop user a very comfortable feel.

The Ninja is compatible with most common laptops, with size ranging from eight inch to fifteen inch screen size notebooks. Throughout our use, the Ninja was extremely silent. For testing, we turned on our laptop for twenty four hours while sitting on the VIzo Ninja notebook cooler. The alumiminum housing feels very cool to the touch even after twenty-four hours of the laptop being turned on. After the twenty four hours had elapsed, the notebook was only mildly warm. We really like the Ninja's cooling performance and low acoustics.
We can say for sure that a laptop cooler is must if you have a notebook PC as your home computer and if you want to prevent it from overheating. Vizo's Ninja did an excellent job cooling our notebook. With very low acoustics, ergonomic friendly design and very low acoustic noise, we give the Vizo ninja a score of 9 out of 10 and our Unique Rigs recommendation.
