On the plus side, BookArc by TwelveSouth at $60 is less than half the price and much better looking.
Such horrible and expensive contraptions only exist because flawed designs from a company that favours style over function.
You do know you can easily monitor if a Mac is throttling due to heat or not right? Or do you just have mouth diarrhea
I mean thats not quite fair. This is a dock made to direct air from a vent. Not just a 12 volt fan

Maybe this should be on front page to know the people even more
It seems Apple will announce an iphone/apple watch charger after years

Apple Silicone won’t fix a thing. My iPhone hits thermal limits and throttles. Apple are useless at cooling their machines.
Amazon have a whole category of this stuff - nothing new: https://www.amazon.co.uk/USB-Fans/b?ie=UTF8&node=9591906031
LOL
Jokes aside, MBPs used to feel bleeding edge and increasingly just feel like a series of increasingly questionable compromises. Ho hum.

reads like an informercial ...
if you really want it, wait for cheap imitations that cost $20
or wait for a real docking station with a cooling fan

Svalt Launches New Lineup of Cooling Stands and Docks for Macs
Svalt, known for its line of docks designed for Apple's Macs, today launched a whole new collection of 2020 docks and stands designed for Apple's latest notebook and desktop Macs. The Cooling Stand S, designed for the 16-inch MacBook Pro and other Mac and PC laptops, features silent passive...

I seriously hope they are referring to Delta Chip-Temp VS Room-Temp. i.e. RT = 20°C (68°F) and CT = e.g. 70°C. As such the Delta would be 50°C. A 60% improvement would mean the CT goes down to 40°C...
A 67% drop IMHO is only possible when the system is basically cooled passively, i.e. in IDLE where the case indeed dissipates most of the heat.
Under full load cooling the case should make a rather small impact on the CT. It will still improve overall temp/performance but never ever anywhere near that ballpark.
Unlike most other laptops the Macbooks suck in Air on the left and right side, not directly on the bottom... As such the fan is really just cooling the case there (on gaming laptops that suck in air from the bottom the effect is usually more significant).
Nevertheless, keeping the case cool is never a bad idea... mostly for the LCD.
Get real about "what's fair". This "rumor" site says Apple MAY be coming out with xx-product with zero proof or any announcement from Apple and this forum starts trashing Apple for something they haven't even announced or released. Is that fair? At least with this gimmicky fan I have a right to express my criticism for it since it actually exists.
Yikes. You need to take a breather. Getting worked up about the quality of rumors on a rumor site is pretty bottom barrel.
Also big fail here - uses a DC plug instead of any sort of USB power. For $200 it could be the loop through power USB-C for laptop power.
Why don't fans with heatsinks work? Isn't that what most computers are using for cooling?
Why isn't anyone making a dock that pulls air out of the rear vents of the Mac? SURELY that's the most helpful thing you can do! increase the airflow of hot air out of the Mac. All these cooling stations I see seem to randomly throw air at the chassis. not even at the intake vents.
Do I need to remind you that you JUST said
Acting like Apple laptops don’t get too hot and need a fan to not throttle. Keep up. I even told you it’s very easy to monitor if one is throttling. Satisfying your oh so important empirical evidence and engineering knowledge.
If using it, will increase by 30% de speed of the GPU and the CPU a price of us$280 is cheap. I work with my Macbook Pro core i7 15" May 2019 to train Deep Learning Networks, when i bought it i didn't know that Apple didn't support external GPUs using Nvidia technology, then i have to work with the slow CPU, the thing is that every time I start training a neural network the CPU gets 100 celsius degrees and when I use the GPU training the same network, the CPU gets 70 celsius degrees, this is a very intensive process, when i bought the laptop there weren't Core i9 laptops on the shop but i needed the laptop in that moment and I couldn't wait for the arriving of a corei9 model more than 2 weeks, and there where no stock in my country (i'm from Perú), when i studied how fast the core i9 was according to geekbench and another artificial benchmark the i9 was only 15% faster, but the core i9 we as us$300 expensive than the i7, then if you get 30% of speed it's better than make an upgrade to your laptop, this is cheap for me, but if it gives 50% or more like the seller claims then it's a bargain, i will wait to see reviews for this cooling systems, and if they work i will buy it.
