 The folks at ThanKo sure love the USB port, they have a new USB device, this time a humidifier (Japan) that will make you go cool or never. According to SorobanGeeks, many people in Japan have heating problems & use their air conditioner for heat, which results in the need for a humidifier. ThanKo is to the rescue for those folks, you plug the humidifier into your PC USB port and you are on your way to a very moist PC place. Why does that laptop pictured look like it belongs in a museum ?
I would have never guessed heat was a problem in Japan, one would think that with all the developments in technology they could develop some type of heat paper or something.
Humidifier is 4,980 Yen.
