So far the chill mat works the way it was intended to keep the underside of the laptop cool, to keep from over heating , the number of ways I can angle it up for comfort.and I LOVE the quite motor of the fans when using my laptop in quite public areas or in bed while hubby sleeps. The only thing I would like to suggest is. If there was a way to keep the quietness, and add 1 or 2 more fans for the lack of power in which the fans have to blow to keep it quite? Like I said it keeps it cool and from over heating but as laptops go they still get pretty hot.It does not hurt to try and cool them down a bit more to save the hardware inside and keep up on the longevity of the computer. After all we do the same for our desktops.

Recently purchased a new laptop aimed at gaming. Soooo, lots of heat.... This not only solved all my cooling issues but the adjustability and the USB expansion has made my laptop on a desk into a full workstation that Can game, work and maintain all my devices
As a stand, its perfect. As a cooler, not so much.

I have a laptop with a 4080 and 14 core intel cpu. In short, it gets very hot. And this pad only maybe dropped the temps at most by 2°. Usually 1 or none. So again, as a stand, it's perfect. Gets the laptop up off your lap so you're not being cooked alive. But if you were looking for cooling, this one is not it.

I am pleased with my new cooling system that I purchased from Best Buy! My laptop gets too hot, so this cooling base keeps it from overheating. I highly recommend it!

The chill mat works great but when it first starts up it can be very loud and can take some time for the fan to reach speed and become quiet again. If you leave it plugged in it isn't an issue though.
The extra usb ports on the back are nice too. It means you can almost use it like a docking station.

Surprisingly effective. The built in fan is fine. It's a little noisy, but that doesn't matter if you are wearing earbuds. Honestly I think the air flow created without the fan provides most the benefit. Also, it gets your laptop off your lap so you don't burn you crotch

Was ok. But was using it on high end gaming laptop, didn’t make a difference at all because of how much power runs through my machine, tested it on my older thin and light and it did help, should use for “normal” laptops!

This provides a portable stand and an active cooling solution for most laptops. Construction is plastic that seems to be of decent quality. The cooling system provided a small improvement in operating temperature for my Asus TUF F15; 2°C at idle and 1°C under load. The USB hub works but I would prefer a passthrough.

This Targus Workstation cooling mat has certainly lived up to what I need it for. It has two fans that helps keep my computer cooler durin heavy load such as gaming. Cool? No, it is still warm driving the video gpu and the CPU but it certainly reduces the amount of heat. The angles that you can use the computer at are all fine and they do support my 15.6" Acer Aspire V3. The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because this relies on sliding and jamming little yellow knobs on the side into slots to determine the height and viewing angle of the computer, and sometimes the left one on mine slips and the computer sits awkwardly unless I fix it. I would've preferred a "crank and lock" format similar to a weight machine or an automotive repair jack. But this thing works and it does work well.

I was looking for a cooling mat for my laptop, which I use for school and socializing, so it gets hours of use a day. I needed dual fans and multiple USB ports for my various purposes, and this Targus Chill Mat seemed to fulfill my needs. The price was reasonable for the features on this product.

Now this thing is not great. The added USB is great but they do not include a power supply for it, it is a separate purchase. So they are kind of useless since the laptop can not power them all. It sometimes does not hold the angle and one side will pop loose. It works better than my last.

The cooling pad has a lot of versatility and function for it's price. Good angles, good cooling power, and the addition of usb ports are a welcome plus. Good product overall.
