Solid concept. Likes the angle of the green thinking, of conserving the power consumption of the laptop. Also the idea of having it being able to be a pencil case, and can be converted into a pen holder, further suggesting the green initiative; as several products are made into one. The materials are minimal and environmentally friendly, while being durable as well.

It's a good idea as everyone has laptops there days, and as a gift it will most likely actually be used be the recipient. Also as laptops get smaller, it gets harder to cool the laptops internally, so something like this is a good compact choice.

The
concept as a laptop ‘cooler’ is good from a sustainability point of
view
in that it has the knock-on effect of making the laptop more efficient
i.e. charging less often, reduced stress on components thus allowing
longer lifetime – you should ensure this is conveyed well in the
presentation. This aspect helps to cover the point in
the brief that talks of helping the receiver (of the gift) to consider
the reduction of impacts on the environment.
Aluminium,
as you mentioned, is an ideal material to act as a heatsink. Are
there other ways you can look to evacuate heat? Airflow? Structure?
Surface area? Aluminium is commonly produced in ‘extrusions’, so could
this be an area of opportunity to use waste offcuts? Excess stock?
