Targus - Dual Fan Chill Mat Cooling System - Black

My Microsoft Surface was constantly overheating, particularly when I had to lay it flat to use the drawing mode. The Chill Mat completely solved the problem, I now have a cool running machine. I am an online instructor so this Chill Matt really saved the day.

Best cooling fun ever. Keeps my laptop cool at all times.

I AM COMPLETELY SATISFIED WITH THIS PRODUCT!! THANKS TO BEST BUY..

I read reviews of others. I’m glad I got this one. The hum of the fans is barely noticeable. It’s helped with my video editing. My system doesn’t heat up like it used to. Good to go.

Pros: Laptop cooler is quiet, lightweight, durable, and has nice design. It is able to fit 15 inch or smaller laptop nicely. It is composed of black plastic shell. two fans and a plug in usb cable. You can place the laptop cooler on you lap, if you desire. The cooler has four fixed feet that elevate the base by 1/4 of an inch allowing air to flow from the bottom of the cooler through the fans and grill to the bottom of the laptop. There is an ample amount of air flowing from the cooling pad, to cool your laptop, air from the cooler up to the bottom of the laptop's ventalation. The cooling pad air blows upwards. The cooler is small and light enough to travel with L13 1/4" X W 9 1/2".X H 1" It is affordable. I got mine on sale. Cons The usb cable is short at 18 inches. It has no on/off switch and no indicator light. The two fans are fixed. You cannot re postion the fans to align to the vents under the laptop. The fan speed is not adjustable. There is no place to store the cable in the cooler base. There is no storage bag to carry the cooler. Height is not adjustable and unable to change the angle of the cooler.

This mat cooling system is relatively quiet compared to noisy ones I’ve had in the past. It is flat and no angled, so you laptop will stay in place! It’s easy to install and uses one USB port.

I bought this for my Surface Book 2 (13.5" w/ core i7 processor) as it had some heating issues when remotely logging into my work desktop from home; it got so bad my computer would shutdown and not turn on until it cooled. Desperate for a solution, I came across this at my local Best Buy and it has done everything I need it to as I haven't had a single issue since buying it. However, I think it needs to have a bit more height in the back (making it angle down towards you) as my surface book is too heavy and keeps tipping back/off of it when using it away from my monitors; if it was slightly angled it wouldn't be an issue. In truth, I would give this a 4.5 if I could as the issue is minor relative to the price and the original problem that lead to my purchase.

My laptop was suffering from overheating issues and I was looking for an inexpensive way to restore its performance. I saw this product and I thought I would give it a try...and my laptop is back and running smoothly again! It has been 7 months since my purchase and the chill mat has not given me any trouble. The fans are not loud - they are about as loud as the fans on a older laptop - and the plastic casing has not cracked. The chill mat can slip into any additional sleeve in a laptop carrying case so I can take it wherever I need my laptop. I only have a few things that could be issues for someone else. The increased height this system brings can cause wrist pain for people who use their laptops intensively. I remedied this by adjusting the height of the chair I sit in. Also if you have a large laptop (>15.6in) I'm not sure if this mat would be big enough. It works fine with my 15.6 inch screen laptop. So overall, if you are looking for an inexpensive solution for an overheating laptop and you are fine with the system using a USB port, I would recommend this.
