Conclusion
In many ways, you could say that NZXT is doing more of the same with the Cryo S notebook cooler. It’s not terribly different from the other Cryo notebook coolers, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The build quality and choice of materials are positively fantastic and those 120mm fans are quite impressive compared to many of its competitors.
The NZXT Cryo S notebook cooler certainly isn’t the cheapest option on the block, but it could be one of the best built.
The Good
- Super solid construction with 3mm thick aluminum
- Rubberized plastic surface is very grippy
- Fan speed control dial
- Bonus two-port USB hub
The Bad
- Non-adjustable height
- Cannot be folded for easy portability
- USB hub and fan speed control may be better on the side
- No power switch
