| [* black] We're used to the innards of devices being dominated by a single component, but those space hogs are usually batteries or power supplies. Over a third of the real estate in the Co-Star is inhabited by the aluminum heat sink. | |
| - | [* black] Why put such a huge heat sink inside a device so small? Well, without fans to provide moving air for forced convection, the Co-Star relies on conduction and natural convection to keep the processor cool. |
