Titan is a company which stayed loyal to their
initial aim; researching and manufacturing cooling
components. Even nowadays, they offer ever single
cooling product that you can imagine, but only cooling
related products whatsoever. Over the past year,
Titan released many new high-class products which
are aimed to the enthusiasts market and they are
discernable by their female names. Today we are
going to have a look on two high end notebook cooling
pads, the Serina series.
The Serina series consists of 2 notebook cooling
pads. Both may look virtually identical, but they
are not, although their cooling properties are.
The G2TB/D is a simple cooling pad, meant only to
keep your notebook cool, where the G2TB/A is more
like a complete docking station, with an integrated
All-In-1 card reader and USB hub. Let us have a
look on their specifications and features.

As you can see from the features and specifications
of the two notebook cooling pads, they are virtually
identical except from the G2TB/A featuring the integrated
card reader, 3 port USB hub and being a little heavier
than the simpler G2TB/D version of Serina of course.
Their design and cooling properties remain the same.
Of course the power consumption specifications are
for the fans only, which are the same in both cooling
pads, however the G2TB/A will consume more power
of course if you are using the card reader and/or
if you attach USB devices to it.

The packaging of both coolers is virtually identical
as well, with minor differences between the two
products. The G2TB/A packaging had a plastic handle
on top, which the G2TB/D did not, and the packaging
of the G2TB/D comes wrapped in plastic. And of course
there is a sticker at the rear of the packaging,
stating the exact model. The packaging is well designed,
considering that the cooling pad does not require
any special protection itself so the packaging is
mostly useful for drawing attention while on a store
shelf. The main theme of the packaging is ‘Serina’
of course, a very charming artwork of a (somewhat
underdressed) lady. I am sure that this is enough
to draw a good amount of attention inside a store.
By opening the boxes, you will find the notebook
cooling pads carefully supported inside a piece
of plastic, separated from their bundled items.

The bundle is a little different between the two
coolers of course, as the G2TB/A requires more power
and an USB connection with the notebook, while the
G2TB/D only requires power for the fans. Hence,
there is only a single cable in the packaging of
the G2TB/D, a USB cable which takes power from the
laptop for the fans. The G2TB/A on the other hand
has an USB data cable and an AC to DC power adapter
included. The USB data cable is meant to connect
the pad with the laptop in order to utilize the
card reader and USB hub, while the AC to DC power
adapter is going to provide the cooling pad the
necessary power. So while the G2TB/A will not burden
your notebook’s battery, it requires an AC
power source to fully function, where the G2TB/D
can be used anywhere as it is powered from your
notebook itself.
