Colorful has launched an external liquid cooling dock that raises its gaming laptop’s combined processor power budget from 150W to 210W.
According to VideoCardz, the Star Wind S1 attaches to the Hidden Star P16 Pro Star Wind Edition 2026. The product names alone could use a cooling-down period. The dock is now available separately, after appearing alongside the liquid-cooled laptop earlier this year.
The 60W increase gives the CPU and GPU a shared power allowance 40 per cent above the air-cooled configuration. It does not promise 40 per cent more performance.
The laptop uses an Intel Core Ultra 7 251HX and Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 5060 Laptop GPU. The graphics processor has a stated maximum power of 115W.
That makes the headline 210W figure a combined system budget. Anyone expecting a mobile RTX 5060 to consume all of it should put the calculator down.
Colorful’s external unit contains a pump and aluminium radiator, with two fans and a 250ml reservoir. A dedicated quick-release connection joins it to the laptop.
The dock weighs 1.1kg, and the laptop weighs 2.05kg. Together, they weigh 3.15kg before adding power equipment and other travel necessities.
Colorful claims average core temperatures fall by about 10C in the same performance mode. It claims noise can fall by up to 5dB(A) under equivalent workloads. Lower temperatures may help sustained clocks, although gains depend on the workload.
The laptop has a 16-inch, 2,560 × 1,600 display running at 300Hz, alongside 16GB of DDR5-5600 and a 1TB PCIe 4.0 SSD.
The dock costs approximately €133, while the laptop and cooling bundle starts at roughly €1,629 in China. These are converted prices and exclude European availability assumptions. The Star Wind S1 only supports the relevant Star Wind Edition laptop. Colorful has announced no international release.
