I was looking for a tilted mat/base that could keep my 17-inch laptop off my desk and allow it to run cooler. Best Buy had the Targus chill map on sale. It is exactly what I needed. It is raised so the back is approx. 2 1/2 inches higher than the front. It also has two quiet running fans which are powered by a UBS connection at the lap top computer. Very satisfied.

I bought this at the same time as my new laptop as my old laptop died unexpectedly and it always sat directly on my desktop. This fan works great keeping the laptop cool while I work. Only issue was running out of USB ports on the laptop and this mat required a USB-A connection and I already have a printer, external HD, mouse, and keyboard that all needed slots. I bought a mini USB hub port and that solved the issue.

For the price, I honestly hoped for a bit better. The built in USB power cable didn't take long to start doing that "I only work at a specific angle" thing.
I also expected a bit better fan power for what I spent. But the airflow it pulls from underneath is definitely better than just having my laptop flat on the desk.
My advice, if have the money to get something a littler more expensive but definitely better quality, then go that route. But if you're not as flush with cash, this will serve as a "better than nothing option.

I was warned when I purchased my new gaming Laptop that it ran very hot. So I purchased this to help keep it cool. It works very well. And is exactly the same foot print. Does the job.

It's pretty quiet. I'm sensitive to sound but this is a quiet, steady hum. No problem there.
The power cord is USB and I have a MacBook pro so I use a little adapter that I already had to connect to my USB-C.
It does help keep my MB cool enough to run zoom calls all day.

The cooling pad works very well to dissipate the heat coming out of my laptop.
I would recommend this to a friend

Targus 17 in Dual fan mat was a great buy. I use it on my desk at work. Did not work well sitting on my lap so I took off 1 star. I like the included fan that helps keep my dell cool.

It makes it so much easier to navigate on my laptop. It elevates it perfectly where it's more eye level to me, and it makes it easier to type on it too. Highly recommend!

I always love these and they are a must have
I always get the Targus 17" or this model.
I admit I change them out once a while even
it they still work fine as well as power surge protectors.
