IN DETAIL: TACENS TRIO

Like the Tacens Fero, the Trio is made of plastic ABS with a leather finishing which adds to its smoothness and style.

The Tacens Trio has two hinges fastened to the central triangle that allows it to adopt several different positions. It’s the versatility of the Trio that allows it to take different forms and have different functions. When the cooler is unfolded it can be used as a notebook cooler and when it’s unfolded it can be used as an ordinary desktop fan. There is no great mystery on how to use this product as a desktop fan, just connect it to an USB port an put the fan on you desk in a position you like and there you go.

However, the main purpose of the Tacens Trio is to work as a laptop cooler. So let’t take a look at the most important characteristics of the Trio. The Tacens Trio is built around two Tacens Dawn Pro 60mm fans, identical to the fans on the Tacens Fero. The Tacens Fero however, has four if these quiet fans.

The underside of the Trio is not much to talk about. It has some rubber anti-slippers to secure it to the surface it is placed upon. It also has drop down lifters which you can see on the picture below, to enable a higher angle and some ergonomics. Compared to the four settings available on the Tacens Fero, this is not much and leaves us stuck with only two possible positions with little variation.

The dimensions and small weight are what truly makes the Tacens Trio special. I have never before seen a notebook cooler with these characteristics. It’s light and small and fits in my laptop bag and will become a regular companion on my trips. In spite of its small dimensions, the Trio can be used with bigger laptops as well.
