Customer Ratings & Reviews

This chill mat has been useful, it does the job cooling my laptop but sometimes is a little tricky to use and set up, you have to be careful because some times it fells pretty easy. All the usb ports are really useful.

I have had this for a couple of months now and it has been great, I was hesitant when I purchased it because I had read some reviews where some customers experienced issues with this mat. I havent had any issues at all, I love the 4-port USB Hub on the back.

Over all- It's just okay. Especially, when I have purchased other objects from Targus at a drastically lower price and had exceptional quality. I am very disappointed and really wished I would have returned it and purchased another one. I don't feel it's worth the price especially with a loud fan and weird grid on the bottom. The best features are it is strong plastic and it does help vent with the ability to raise it-if you can keep it on without it slipping over the front- and the ventilated grill top and sides. And that is even without it plugged in, but of course having it on does help. If anything, at least my lap isn't so hot. Detail- I got this in April. I thought it was going to be amazing with two fans and the usb ports and that it adjusts. I originally purchased because my computer would get extremely hot and the laptop fan was working on overload it seemed like with all the noise trying to cool it down. I wanted something with a good fan that was whisper quiet to help. The fans are louder than my laptop fan. I've had a product like this before with my other laptop and it was super quiet and it was from Targus. I also thought the usb ports would be handy since I only had two and one is messed up; so if the mat was connected, I didn't have an extra port. I really wanted to be able to connect my external hard drive, which I have run off a 2.0 port, but i don't have access when I try it to connect it to the mat.The light comes on like it is connected but I cannot even see the icon to connect. Disconnecting the mat and putting the drive in the same port, the icon comes up and I can view files. I figure it's because the power isn't enough and I need to connect the mat to the 3.0 port, but that is the one that needs to be fixed. I was able to connect- a camera and access photos, my phone and charge it and my watch all at the same time. Even when it is only the drive connected to the mat, it won't work. I need to get the 3.0 port fixed and see if it will work then. It is great that it is sturdy and adjusts to make it more comfortable. However, the lip that keeps the laptop on isn't very high and is a weird curve, so when you have it elevated, the laptop can slip off especially when you move. It does have some grip on the back but my lap top is 14" and so my laptop doesn't even rest of those. It'd be nice if the lip was higher. My laptop bottom curves up and so how it hits the lip and how that is curved, when it's raised it's always sliding off. The bottom of the mat has a grid design which tends to cut in and leave temporary marks. If you grab it a certain way with your hand, it isn't comfortable. The other mat I had from Targus had a smooth bottom and four little rubber pads that helped grip most surfaces and if it was on your lap wouldn't cut in. To adjust it up, you pull up on side by the little flap things until it's where you want. Under there, is a yellow knob that moves and will lock it into place into the notches on either side. To make it go down you have to turn that yellow knob towards you on both sides and try to keep some tension or the laptop drops abruptly and if it doesn't, one side is probably stuck and you have to mess with it to get it flat. Overall, it is just ok and I'd probably advise a friend to get a different one.

When I purchased this I wanted a USB hub and my laptop angled upward and taller up off of the desk. It seemed like a nice addition that it had fans. I could only take the fans for about a week and was tempted to return this item. I decided instead to disassemble the USB hub and unplug the fans. The fans have this ear piercing sonic sound that even came through my headphones, the sound was loud and irritating and quite frankly the fans did nothing for my HP Omen laptop. The sound is like a the high pitch noise from a blow dryer. Other smaller complain while build quality as a whole is decent the unit is flimsy but only when being handled especially with the laptop on it. Not a big deal though since it is mostly set it and forget it. Easily a 4 star if had it had a fan switch and was not overpriced at $53 I think it was?

My laptop was overheating and was showing a fatal system crash. I noticed that it was very hot. I was afraid I was going to have to replace the laptop. Instead, I purchased this chill mat and my laptop is working perfectly. No more fatal error notices, no more overheating laptop. The chill mat plugs into the laptop. So when the lap top is off, the cooler is off.

Use it for traveling. I do a lot of work on the road and have a chill mat with integrated USB ports is a plus. I've connected my external hard drives and thumb drives with no issues. I only use it on a desk and not my lap because the bottom of the mat has no pad so it digs into your legs after a while. The chill mat also feels very light and fragile compared to previous Targus chill mats. That is the reason why I'm rating it at 2 stars. See picture of bottom so you can see what I'm talking about. Other than this, it's OK.

We had an issue where the laptop was too low and the results were the neck pains. Targus is a reliable brand so we purchased this to raise the laptop screen to a good position. The solid build makes sure it does not slip. We had a usb hub that was a pain. Well problem solved, The Hub is built in. It also has a good cooling fan. The only downside is that the usb is 2.0 but the external fan and logitech headphone and mouse fob works. I also have an additional 3.0 usb on the computer if I need it.

Great lightweight pad with cooling fans and a 4 port USB hub but... The fans are quite LOUD and the USB hub is as basic as they come, type-1 so don’t expect much more than using as a simple hub for usb dongles, or an additional mouse port, etc... I wanted to connect 2 more monitors through it but... Nope... Not powered. Very nice otherwise.

Works great for basic needs. Material is a basic plastic but should be suitable for situations its needed for. Price isn't really worth it but if you need one as soon as possible and its in stock for pick up then i recommend it.

The cooler fixed my Alienware r3 17 hitting the thermal throttling threshold while running civ6 with graphics maxed on the Nvidia gtxx980m. Very satisfied with the product, no fancy lights but it works.

This works really well because the fan on my laptop sometimes works and sometimes doesn’t work, and they cannot get the screws out to replace it.

Love this thing! The 4 additional usb ports come in handy could be quieter in my opinion and should be able to turn off fan other than that it's an awesome product

My Mother’s MAC was getting hot quickly was the reason for this purchase. We set the MAC on it & plug it in & it now stays cool.

It's very loud but it does adjust, can be a tipping hassle

just what I wanted for a lap top easy to use and real lite weight

This fan keeps my computer cool and it works great.

After reading other reviews, I decided to go ahead with this. A little pricey, perhaps, but it works quite well. No problem with fan noise as others have mentioned. I'm using a small MacBook and it fits nicely. Easy to adjust for the proper angle and great to have 4 USB outlets. I bought a second one as a gift for a college-bound student.

My Laptop would easily overheat and burn my legs. The chill Mat is great for cooling my laptop down. I would rate 5 stars however if you attempt to move the laptop with the chill mat on and you aren't careful you may hear the fans get very loud. Simple fix is to un plug the mat from your laptop and plug it right back in. 9 times out of 10 that works if it doesn't wait a minute and make sure it is flat. Also when first purchasing there are 2 foam packaging discs! Don't forget to take them out or you'll think it's broke... Like I did . The USB ports are useful for plenty of things too! Good product

The Targus Chill Mat is a Pretty decent Cooling Stand, Fans are a tad bit noisy if the room is silent. The Build quality is Good with easy side tabs to adjust the tilt fairly easy. The Main thing that inspired me to purchase this would be the option of having a 4 USB Hub which is a real nice touch. Just make sure you plug the Accessories that you do not need to unplug all the time into the hub as it can be a little tricky to have to reach in the back to plug and unplug depending on your station. Although I love the 4 USB Hub but I do wish they were 3.0 Ports so if you have a Device thats calls for a 3.0 USB Plug you will still have to use the designated spot on your PC, but overall it does do a decent job cooling the system, very Versatile Easy to Use. I would Definitely Recommend. I would of Gave a 5 Star if Perhaps the USB Ports were 3.0 and the Fans just a Touch Quieter.
