Customer Ratings & Reviews

This product by Targus is okay, I would say a little above average than other similar products you may see elsewhere. I've always trusted Targus for any laptop accessories and this Chill Mat gets the job done when my laptop gets hot. It's very quiet and not obtrusive - depending on how big your laptop is, mine is an older 15" 2011 MacBook Pro. For laptops that are 13" or so, the Chill Mat will most likely stick out and make your laptop look smaller, but the two fans will still keep your laptop cool. I would like a product that pushes more airflow out which is why I gave it four stars, but I purchased this knowing what I was getting (two fans). Very quiet, would recommend for those planning to put this on their desk!

Purchased this because I noticed my MacBook getting hot when I kept it docked at work all day. Now, since I have the new iPad, I don’t even take it off the dock to go to meetings. It does help somewhat with the heat; I notice my MacBook doesn’t get as hot. It isn’t very loud like some people mentioned in their reviews. I actually find it to be somewhat soothing white noise in the background of my office. My only complaint (and why I didn’t give it 5 stars) is it does not have an off switch. Since it plugs into my Mac Cinema Display, it never turns off. So every night when I leave, I have to unplug the USB cord for it to turn off. Other than that, it work like it should.

Bought this to keep my lap top cool. Does the job very well. Glad I have it.

Easy to install, did the job right away. Great price and my laptop no longer over heats.

I am very happy with this Chill Mat for my 17.3 inch laptop! It is quiet and draws its power from the laptop via a USB port. The Mat provides steady air circulation from beneath the laptop which is very nice since when I use my laptop it is usually for many hours at a time and I'm sure that without some type of cooling mat I would run the risk of frying the motherboard in my laptop. I am very happy with this Chill Mat!

Previously, I have been using the same brand of an old fan to help cool down my Samsung Galaxy Book Flex. But the problem was that my laptop was not efficiently cooled (its built-in ventilator was still rolling even with that old fan!); not to mention that it was too loud like an old diesel truck. That's why I purchased the new Targus fan as a replacement. A new version of Targus, in comparison with the old one, was "whisper-silent" and strong enough to cool my laptop. Even after strong work such as an edition process of motion pictures, my laptop was kept cool.

Very quiet, good cooling, light weight, easy to use

I find that the fans are very quiet and it cools my laptop sufficiently.

Keeps my MacBook cool during hours of editing. Perfect size and weight.

Ok so I was skeptical on buying this because of the reviews mentioning the product being “cheap” like sturcture but honestly it’s not as much as I think it’s perfectly well made and it does not make that much of a noise i’ve been using it for 3 weeks and it’s working so well especially as well cooling my laptop while i’m gaming

Bought this to extend the life of my laptop. I appreciate how lightweight and easy to use.

The chill mat does what it is supposed to do. It is fairly quiet, plugs into the laptop for power via USB. No USB ports on the chill mat for other devices, cables or drives. I am using a DynaDock from Toshiba for peripherals and the 2 empty ports on the laptop itself.

I learned the hard way about the need to keep your laptop cool. I once burned one up and lost all my data as a result. This cooling system is for a 14" laptop and is virtually silent but effective. Thanks to the crew that brought it out to my car during the pandemic. You have solidified a loyal customer.

Quiet, works noticeably well. Would reconmend this product

Surprised by how well this works. Using with a Razer Blade 15 that has fans on the bottom pulling up into the laptop and this pushes extra air towards the bottom of the laptop and really seems to help with temperatures. Not very loud at all.

Great at keeping the new laptop cool while it is in use and usb plug in is also a great feature.

So this is a super handy "tool" to have for your laptop. We were traveling and had work that had to be done on the compter while driving. We were worried because we have an Apple and they are not designed to be used in your lap at all so we were concerned with overheating and burning the lap. This thing not only kept the computer cool, it actually kept the lap cool as well which is nice in the heat of summer. I'd definately recommend this is you have to work when you travel

I have a Netgear R7000 WiFi Router sitting on top of this, When there is a lot of internet traffic it gets hot and slows down. Not any more, cool as a cucumber. Plugs right into the USB port on the router and is barely audible when running.

The chill Mat is easy use and provides air circulation for my laptop when on a flat surface. Keeps it cool so it doesn't get very hot.

Having had to obtain on short notice a Windows 10 laptop with optical drive included for some work related video production, I picked up an inexpensive 15.6" laptop to use at the office in the ad hoc video production space I had set up. Since my Toshiba Satellite 15.6" i5 processor Windows 10 laptop did not have an optical drive and I wanted to avoid cluttering up its hard drive with video files, purchasing a second laptop for a specific purpose made sense and space limitations precluded using an external optical drive at the designated space at work. Much to my chagrin, the under $400.00 bargain computer (with an i3 core processor) had both a shorter than expected battery life and it ran hot after two hours of continuous use. Enter the Targus dual fan Chill Mat cooling system. A USB powered hard plastic mat that keeps my laptop cool during video production sessions at the office. There is nothing especially fancy about this product and it is USB 2.0 only. But it keeps one's laptop temperature down and that is what it's supposed to do. This a a no-frills but efficient cooling mat affordably priced. By plugging it into an external USB 2.0 hub I now have a cost effective video workstation where I can transfer video files from the digital camcorder that I use for work to the bargain laptop where I can burn DVDs on an as needed basis for clients.
