If the latest same-old iPad or Samsung Galaxy Tab is boring you to tears, you may have to look to the boutique brands for something unique. RedMagic’s new Astra 2 gaming tablet is supposedly one of the coolest pint-sized devices around. I mean that literally. RedMagic, a company that makes specialized, boutique gaming devices, this week showed off its new Astra 2’s specialized thermal management. It’s one of the first tablets to employ a liquid cooling system alongside a specially designed vapor chamber and liquid metal apparatus. The tablet maker claims it crafted a custom vapor chamber without making the tablet overly heavy. That’s a lot of cooling for a 9.06-inch tablet, but let’s break down just why this is interesting. Liquid cooling is a well-known solution for gaming desktops that uses a liquid medium to transfer heat away from components and to fans where it can exhaust outside the closed system. Starting with its RedMagic 11 Pro gaming phone, the company has managed to incorporate a miniaturized liquid cooling system built into a thin-frame device. RedMagic claims this “AquaCore Cooling System 2.0” inside the Astra 2 leads to better sustained performance, which will prove especially important for gaming.
