Lightweight, quiet and does a good job.
This works exactly how I wanted it. I always have my laptop on it. It plugs in with 1 USB A cable for power, and runs very quietly. When I am gaming, it dissipates heat very well and keeps my lap cool. Great size for my 16" laptop. It also gives great peace of mind when setting the computer down on my bed and blankets, even on the floor - I know it won't overheat. I recommend you try it.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's As Quiet As A Mouse.
Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2012

I purchased my first Targus (from a major electronic chain store) about 1.5 years ago and it must have lasted about 6 months. It just quit working! It was very noisy and my husband said it sounded like a whirlwind. But it did the job. I am a writer and a lot of my writing is done at night while in bed. The heat from my laptop was becoming a very serious problem (there were times when I would fall asleep and wake up from the heat on my lap from the laptop. I decided to purchase another one via of Amazon. I read the reviews and decided to go ahead and purchase one. The Targus arrived on time and it has been a life saver! Not only does it keep my lap and bed cool, but when I pluged it into the port I seriously thought I had received another lemon. I couldn't hear the fans working, and when I placed my hands on my laptop I couldn't feel any vibrations from the fans. I picked up the laptop, put it aside and then put my ear to the chill mat to see if it was working and by golly it WAS working. I could feel the breeze from the fans. What I like most about the Tarque is that it is sooooooooooooooooo quiet...just like a mouse!!! I of course don't know how long this one will last, but should it quit I will just have to purchase another one. I am very pleased with my Targue. By all means the price isn't bad and you can't go wrong with this little gem. Thanks to Amazon I am now a happy camper. I love it, love it, love it!!!
P.S. Today is 9/3/14 and my cooler is still ticking. Even after two moves and it has received some harsh treatment with all the packing and unpacking it still runs quiet. I still find myself checking to see if it's running and place my hand on the bottom IT STILL WORKS!!!!
My daughter returned to school and she has a laptop. The other daughter will be returning back to school. Guess what they will be getting for Christmas?!!!

P.S. Today is March 4, 2013, almost a year to the date since I received my Targus. Guess what? It's still working and running quietly. I still have to check to make sure the fan is still working. I wouldn't trade it for anything. Can't go wrong with this gem.

Reviewed in the United States on July 25, 2012

If you've owned a MacBook Pro at any point in the last 5 years, you know that those things can get hot enough to literally fry an egg. This is a problem we were having with both my wife's 17" MacBook Pro (Early 2011 model) and my new 15" MacBook Pro Retina... and we were looking for a solution.

There are a few issues that we specifically wanted to address...

1) We wanted something with a fan to help keep the general temperature down (because while gaming, the keyboard could actually burn you).
2) We wanted something that would keep the heat off of a lap. There are plenty of cooling options with powerful fans that sit on desks, but none of them looked lap-friendly.

In the end, we narrowed it down to two items... the Targus Lap Chill Mat and the Logitech Cooling Pad N200. To diversify, we just bought both.

The wedge design of the Targus Lap Chill Mat does an excellent job of keeping heat away from your lap, while conveniently elevating the display. It's also very comfortable when sitting on your lap. My wife's 17" laptop fits flush with the edges as if it were made for it. My 15" MacBook also fits comfortably on the mat, with about an inch of mat left over on all sides. Unlike some of the other reviewers, the rubber raisers on the top of the mat feel very sturdy and I haven't had any problems with them coming loose or popping off. The one problem we DO have with the mat is that the fan is so weak that it's almost useless. It makes no discernable difference in surface temperature at all... and even if you are just holding your hand over the fan, there is very little air movement... but at least it's quiet.

The Logitech Cooling Pad N200, on the other hand, isn't actually all that comfortable... at least not for me (small pad on a big lap), but my wife doesn't mind it at all. That said, what it lacks in comfort, it makes up in cooling power. The Logitech pad has two speeds - and at it's top speed does an excellent job of keeping the laptop nice and cool (or at least tolerably warm when doing something demanding like gaming). Despite what some reviewers say about the Logitech pad, it's actually quite quiet even at it's top speed (it's nothing more than a soft whir - roughly the same volume at the MacBook Retina's built-in fans). However, while the 15" laptop fits perfectly on the Logitech pad (and more comfortably, due to it's light weight), the 17" laptop is just a little too big, and a little too heavy for it. Now don't get me wrong, the thing still manages to keep the 17" comfortably cool (warm) at full load, while keeping that heat off your lap, it's just a bit of an awkward fit.

So here is my recommendation: generally speaking, I would get the Targus for any 17" laptop and the Logitech for any 15". For 17" laptops, the Targus is just more comfortable on your lap and keeps the heat off your legs... even if it doesn't do a very good job of chilling the laptop itself. If you have a 15" laptop (especially one of the new Retina MacBooks), get the Logitech pad instead - it does a much better job of cooling the laptop, and the lighter weight of the 15" means it's reasonably comfortable (though not quite as comfortable as the Targus). If you are more concerned about general heat management for any laptop size, you may want to go with the Logitech anyway... just remember that there will be some awkward overhang.

Have been using constantly for months now .
Works very well at keeping my laptop cool. Very comfortable to keep on my lap while using computer for several hours.
Really like it. It's hard to find lap cooling pads for laptops, so glad I found it.

Leichte und solide Notebook unterlage fürs Sofa oder Bett. Passt genau unterm Notebook (für 17" gekauft) und hat einen integrierten zusätzlichen Lüfter verbaut.
Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nicht so viel sagen aber die Qualität und Verarbeitung ist einwandfrei.

3.0 out of 5 stars Un refroidisseur presque parfait.

Nous avons dans ce cas-ci un bon refroidisseur avec deux ventilateurs, mais il manque quatre petits silent blocs afin de pouvoir le déposer sur un plan de travail. Evantuelement, une petite alimentation USB supplémentaire, à part cela, le refroidisseur Targus reste pratique.

As a laptop gaming enthusiast I was looking for a stand suitable for the lap.
This stand is very comfortable, lightweight and has suitable ventilation to help prevent overheating.

It is just as described- portable and lightweight, and so far working satisfactorily. Used with my Asus Zenbook as well as Lenovo ThinkPad, cooling and airflow all good.
