Didnt like it . . . flimsy ) :
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this chill pad is bad for big laptops. maybe good for net books, but deff not my 17'' laptop. constantly thinking its gunna brake. Good brand but get the solid pad if you have a big or heavy laptop
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLess than satisfied with this purchase
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The unit is bulky and positioning adjustments are either too high or too low. Fan is noisy and doesn't seem to cool as well as I would expect.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot that great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This product is just fair at best. After trying several different products, I find that it is probably easiest and best to just make sure your laptop has adequate ventilation and turn it off as possible.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendVery Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Almost immediately after the return period ended, the left fan would only turn slightly with a terrible loud noise making the entire thing unusable. Very disappointing.

Does the job but annoying sound
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Has a high pitched oscillating whirring sound that comes from it. Very loud to the point where I thought my houses heater was making the sound, just for me to realize the noise went away once I unplugged the fan.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Targus Team
Posted .We are sorry to hear that your chill mat appears to have a high pitched sound. Our chill mats come with a limited 1 year manufacture warranty.

More durable than other similar products
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have had several chill mats but this is the first one I have owned that raises the computer up. I am finding screws that appear to have fallen from the bottom side of the mat. My computer still seems to be quite hot to the touch.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendDO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don't waste your money! This thing is a cheap pice of junk,the built in fans literally do nothing other than restrict airflow and make your laptop hotter. I will be returning this thing

Cheap Plastic!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cheap plastic! Says it will accommodate up to 17" laptops, but don't even try it. Your laptop will be substantially overhanging on all sides, if it could actually handle the weight.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Targus Team
Posted .This chill mat is compatible with most 17" laptops as long as the dimensions do not exceed 14.00" x 10.50" x 1.00" (W x H x D). Although, made of plastic there are some metal supports to help with weight of laptops. If you have questions or concerns about your chill mat please reach out to our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST.
Worthless
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Does nothing at all. Scared it will fill my computer with chinese spyware if i plug it into it so i plugged it into to wall. Still gets my laptop hot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Targus Team
Posted .We are sorry to hear that the chill mat does not seem to be helping to cool your laptop. We are also very saddened to hear that you will not plug it into the laptop itself due to spyware fears. Though somewhat understandable we feel that you may find it works better and you will have more options that way. If you have any questions please contact our customer support team at 877-482-7487 Monday thru Friday 10 AM to 7 PM EST. They will be happy to help.
Cheap but not good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a bummer when I tried to use it! It didn't cool my laptop at all and is this cheap plastic! I was disappointed in purchase and returned it to store!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendOverpriced, small, cheap build
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The concept is great, should be priced around $15. The plastic is so light it feels fragile, there are no pads or anything to keep the laptop from sliding around.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot my PC
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really not using it much and sticking to my PC. Not much I like about it. Screen not adjustable to my desk. Not user friendly. Sorry I wasted my money
No, I would not recommend this to a friendit's okay
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for my husband and have used it a few times. It doesn't keep my computer cool and after 6 months the fans make a lot of noise.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAwful pad.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It seemed like such a grreat deal. then it began making tons of noise and I cant seems to get it to stop. It is now pretty much useless
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot a good idea
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I found this actually blows the hot air back into the laptop. It was getting hotter then normal.
I would recommend this to a friendBrand response from Targus Team
Posted .Hello, the fans are designed to circulate that air around the laptop. They are not designed to blow cold or hot air on the laptop but to circulate what is already there. We are sorry to hear that this fan is not working out for you. Our customer support team would be happy to help you find an option that would work better.

Chill Mat fan very noisy and was returned
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to replace a Targus chill mat that had gotten noisy after over 5 years of continuous (24x7) use. Some reviewsof this chill mat complained about fan noise for this item but based on my past experience I bought it anyway. The amount of noise from 1 of the 2 fans was worse than the noise from my old chill mat. It could easily be heard from other rooms. If I could have given it a rating of no stars, I would have.
