A Closer Look

To assemble the unit, you need to align the cooler with the feet and secure it with the thumb screws. The Ninja HS is completely made of metal. The surface is a bit rough, but the paint job is excellent. There are two small logos on the center. The one above is the company logo, while the bottom one lets you know what the notebook cooler series is called. Taking a look at the side profile, the cooler will raise your notebook considerably.


There are three USB 2.0 ports in the side of the Ninja HS. The mini-USB plug is used to power the device, but Vizo has also included a DC in. However, there is no power supply included with the Ninja HS. On the bottom of the feet is a little ledge, which should hold your notebook in place nicely.


Taking a closer look at the fans, they are 70 x 70 x 15 mm. Each of them is rated at 20 dbA and can rotate at 2000 RPM. There is no switch to adjust the speed of these unit, so they will always run at that one RPM setting. You may align the cooling crossbar of the Ninja HS, so that it cools the proper area of your notebook. The small thumb screws need to be screwed in very tight to hold the cooling crossbar in place nicely. You better have a screw driver ready, as the small thumb screws do not offer enough grip to avoid the use of such tools. Traditionally the internal setup of most notebook is similar, with the CPU/GPU located toward the rear and the hard drive located toward the front of the chassis. The Ninja HS is clearly designed to cool the processor and surrounding area.


There is a white roll toward the rear end of the feet. These make moving the unit around your table very easy, Simply pick up the front, roll it around like a wheel barrel. The other end has soft rubber feet. These, in combination with the weight of the unit, are sufficient to hold the entire Ninja HS in place securely.
