my MBP 14" and Mac Studio Ultra both get very hot under my definition of 'full load'.
The target market for this is all the people who have been filling up the forums with posts saying thermal throttling is the worst thing to happen in the history of the planet, ever. And that if only Apple made their laptops run cooler, their lives would be free of all problems. I may be a bit hyperbolic here, but you get the idea. 
As i said before - hot air has to get sucked out. When hot air leaves the notebook, somewhere will get colder air in and will cool the system down. 100 points for you ;-)
Have you seen the other designs from this company? https://svalt.com/collections/shop-all-products
Like crazy!

Yeah, their MacMini stand... They do realize their fan/cooler is making contact with the Mini in the absolute least heat conductive spot on the entire computer, right?
Not necessary for M series MBPs in my opinion. I can play games on it and the fan will stay silent.
made from aluminium, priced like it's gold
Who asked for this? The processor is insulated from the aluminum bottom. This is like buying a spoiler for your 94 Honda civic with 97 horse power.
Dock and stand accessory company Svalt this month introduced three new cooling docks that are designed for Apple's line of MacBook Pro machines. The Cooling Dock DHCR, Cooling Dock DHC, and Cooling Dock DHCx are designed to be used with Macs in clamshell mode.
Priced between $220 and $280, the docks are carved from solid aluminum to transfer heat away from the MacBook's processor. Svalt says the docks have been designed with cooling fins, deep air channels, and a curving horizontal air channel, all of which pull heat away from the MacBook Pro.
The DHC model has a built-in fan at the back of the dock, while the other two versions have optional add-on accessory fans or can be used without a fan.
The dock is designed to position the laptop at the ideal angle for heat dissipation, and a protective edge and retention pad hold the machine in place. Apple silicon Macs aren't known for their heat, but Svalt claims that the dock is able to eliminate heat throttling and ensure that the MacBook Pro is able to reach peak performance when in clamshell mode.
According to Svalt, the Cooling Docks are built to "seamlessly merge" with the built-in cooling systems of the 2021 to 2023 MacBook Pro models and "all other Apple laptops from the last decade."
More information on the docks can be found on the Svalt website.

Looks just as cool………
$250ish?????????
Is anyone planning on paying $3,000 to bitcoin mine on their MacBook Pro??????
That’s excessive. All you need is a laptop stand and it’ll stay cool.
No. The M1 MBP was the first laptop that doesn’t burn my legs. In fact, my legs never even get warm.
This product is useless.
Very expensive. Don’t know whether it will be a successful product
Haha yes, cases for the AirPods case for example. I just don’t understand. 😂
Those vents in the heat sink reminds me of vents/lines in classic Apple computers, which Jobs was forced to add due to overheating.
Before I opened this story I thought this was the MacBook Air and thought this was rather clever.
However as it is the pro's this doesn't make sense. It also hinders being able to use the MacBook display. My work Lenovo was getting terribly hot (the fan sucks from the underside and vents out the side). I found a generic 3D printable dock that could elevate it a bit more allowing more air under the laptop. It works great, and I can still use the display if I want to.

Many people are worrying that these machines are hot. A quick Google search proves that they worry so much that they post messages on the Internet about it! These people will be missing $240 to $280.
Others calm their fears by investing in designer Thermal Paste.
The most worried do both.
