[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This laptop cooler is pretty good.
Overall it is sturdy, the fabric has a neoprene softness and the weight is low (no sense adding to the laptop)
I was a little apprehensive at first, but the first time I used it I was pleasantly surprised. It made a huge difference in the temperature of the laptop. I have one of those gaming laptops because it has the high end specs i need, but doesn't cost an arm an a leg to buy. The only reason I give it 3 stars is the rubber pads that hold the laptop elevated off the surface of the mesh. Yes they allow for the air flow from the fans but the rubber is small and the laptop can slide especially if you are holding both in your lap and your knees are higher than your hips. I know most people won't be doing that so it probably isn't an issue really, but I did notice my larger laptop slide a little. The chill mat actually looks sort of like a large binder that doesn't open the fans connect to your USB port and are powered from your laptop so if your running on battery it might drain a little faster. Laptops running on battery usually slowdown to conserve so getting hot may not be an issue unless you set you laptop up to run full out even on battery. The chill mat can also be used to angle the laptop on a desk which is a nice benefit. It doesn't adjust but hey its not really for the desktop. I would like the option to add either more fans or enlarge the one already there, but I don,t see a way that can happen o this unit. Also the option to plug it into the wall outlet would be nice so I am not using battery. I would recommend it to someone who has there laptop in there lap it keep you from felling the heat..

Targus Chill Mat

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Targus 16" Fan Chill Mat fits great under my 15" laptop and is keeping it from heating up when I'm using it and also keep my processor safe. All you need to do is plug in to a USB-A port and it turns on, real simple. Very good quality and it has been working as described so I am very pleased.

A valuable product for a common problem

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This chill mat with fan is a very functional addition to my various computer accessories. It's very common for my laptop's fan to start whirring and the machine to get hot. This fan in the chill matt helps to alleviate that.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Keeps cool

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use this chill mat under my iPad to keep it from overheating and so far it’s been doing it’s job. It’s lightweight and you plug it into a USB port to cut the fan on. Being I don’t have a USB port on my iPad I just plug it into the wall and it works.

Fan runs slow

The fan runs too slow, still getting up to 84 degree heat. Will try the dual fan version next.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Great fan chill mat for large computers

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My partner has a larger laptop and can require a lot of power due to the programs and software he uses. I knocked off one star because I don't think this is absolutely necessary for everybody but if you are someone who has a powerful computer, I do think this is important to have so the computer does not overheat.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Verified Purchase:Yes
The fan itself is very quiet. However the way the plastic cover grills were designed causes airflow to become very noisy and whistling. I had to cut away all the plastic covering fan, to have a quiet laptop mat.
I would recommend this to a friend!
