The Targus Lap Chill Mat affords a functional, comfortable and ergonomic alternative to working with a laptop in your lap or on a soft surface. The Lap Chill Mat not only keeps you comfortable, but it keeps your laptop cool and secure with the Chill Mat's no-slip rubber feet and integrated dual fan system. The Chill Mat rests on your lap and disperses heat, using the two fans to provide ventilation which can be obstructed if the laptop is used on a pillow or comforter. The only power source required is a standard USB connection to your laptop; there's no extra power cables to mess with. The ergonomic tilt makes typing easy and the soft neoprene material provides cushioning. The open design allows the fans to run quietly and stimulates constant airflow, all while keeping you cool and comfortable.

The chill mat does an incredible job at keeping my lap cool when working with my laptop. Not only does it keep me cool, but has been excellent at keeping my laptop's internal fans from kicking on, thus a huge reduction in ambient noise. There is a little whir from the fans when on, but very minor compared to the laptop's fans. Very easy to use as it simply plugs into a USB port and is immediately functioning. The neoprene that coats the stand has some cushion to it and works well at maintaining the cool temperature. The fans are protected inside the stand so it even works well on a soft surface like a blanket.

Pros: HP HDX-16t laptop fit perfectly on the chill mat. You can hear the fan, but it's not distracting. The USB cord is of exceptable length. Although I wished the fan was a little stronger, it did keep my laptop cool. Comfortable to use on my lap.
Cons: The left fan (there are two fans) died after only 4 weeks of use.

Comments about Targus Lap Chill Mat:
I've bought 2 of these. The first one's wiring got broken at the base and stopped working. I figured this was my fault because I tend to be hard on electronic appliances, so after looking around town for a different fan and not finding one, I bought another and took better care of it. A month or 2 later, I discovered it was no longer working, checking the wiring I found no tears. So after a good deal of effort I managed to remove the cover, and was very disappointed at what I saw. There are 4 screw holes holding each fan in place. Of these, 3 of them have no screws. 2 were missing on one fan, 1 on the other. Now, this is the first time I have ever even thought about opening one of these, so I assume that this was simply shoddily constructed. Going to try to get my money back if I can, and am certainly not buying another one of these.

Comments about Targus Lap Chill Mat:
I purchased the product as I was having a problem with my ASUS laptop overheating and shutting down. This occured under circumstances that the machine should easily handle. Local tech rep suggested a chill mat would probably resolve the problem. It did not. Just the same I think using such a procuct can be helpful for CPU life. It now seems the problem lies within the graphics card or drivers.

I use the chill mat everyday for my computer. It works great. It does smell heavily of new plastic, which is not great but hopefully that goes away soon!

The Targus chill mat is lightweight, convenient to use, and best of all, keeps both your lap and the laptop cool. I like the internal fans that run quietly off the usb port and turn on when the laptop needs some cooling. I fully expect that the chill mat will extend the life of our newly purchased laptop.

This Chill Mat is remarkable. It is quiet, keeps the MacPro from heating up., and the slight inclination is very helpful. I highly recommend this product!

Comments about Targus Lap Chill Mat:
This was purchased to extend the life of our home laptop & it works great. Air output is MUCH less warm. Best of all - can't hear the fans at all - - this is so quiet! Love the grippy rubber inserts on the top - there is no slippage of the computer when placed on the stand. But if a person doesn't like 'em they just pop out! The fabric on bottom is nice, so won't damage our oak desk. One thing though, it's a little bulky, so we don't plan taking it when taking laptop to libarary, etc. Very pleased overall.

My husband used to work with his laptop on his lap. He would always complain about the heat. Now he is comfortable and happy. His only complaint is that he cannot put things on top of the laptop because it's on a slant. I love it, less clutter. I would recommend this to anyone who constantly uses their laptop on their lap.
