When it comes to laptop overclocking, there aren’t many choices beyond useless fan-type solutions. Finally, Intel and Embraco have teamed up to develop a cooling system that actually brings refrigeration to laptops.

Apparently, the device works thanks to what is being touted as the World’s smallest miniature compressor. Air is cooled before it flows to the bottom of the laptop and up through the intake openings. Naturally, this will result in a significant cooling of the computer’s internal components. In fact, testing showed that the cooler was able to lower the ambient temperature by 41% (23.1C to 13.6C).

Expect to see the Embraco Refrigrated Docking Station sometime around the holidays for around $150. No word yet on how much this beast weighs though. My guess is…a lot. More pictures are available after the jump.
