Favorable Review
No more laptop tanning for me. I got a new chill mat!

Quick View: An inexpensive solution to laptop overheat. My legs and stomach are literally tanned from the heat of my laptop sitting on them. My husband, aghast, bought me the Targus Chill Mat PA248U Laptop Cooler and I have been using it for a few weeks. No more burns, no more super hot laptop computer....

Critical Review
The Mat Works, the Power Cord for It Doesn't!
NOV

2007

I have been through three power cords and many battles with Targus over the poor design of their flimsy cord. The unnecessary switch on the power cord has nothing to keep the wires from pulling loose and breaking, so if you're a mobile user, this chill pad is not for you.

If you use a laptop in a single...

Keep your Laptop Cool
keeping it simple, a techie, interested in comfort

My laptop used to shut off due to overheating, plus my palms and fingers would get too hot...  However, I happenstanced on this product about a year ago and it's been one of the best investments!  It's paid for itself ten-fold.

I've recommended this product to many people and know they are happy to have a cooled off laptop while they work on projects, etc.

It's convenient, simple to use, lightweight, and totally affordable.  Get it at Target, it's less costly there - at Best Buy it was $40 more.

You will be happy with comfortable palms and fingers while doing your computer stuff.

I haven't had any...

this will definitely keep the laptop cool.  i saw temperatures decrease about 10 degrees while working for a few hours with it on.  but its kind of bulky so not very travel freindly.  its also a little noisy for some reason, that could just be because of the way i have it situated though.  Its also contructed of cheap plastic.

A must have for laptops

If you use your laptop on your lap or even on a table top theTargus chill mat will keep it cool. It has two little fans to keep it cooled down and runs off of your computer's power so it is off when your computer is off. It also has an on/off switch and is made to keep your computer from sliding off. It's not expensive and great to have

You can count on this cheaply made chill mat breaking down after the warranty period.  It did it for me during, and later after, the warranty period.  In theory a good idea; but, made too cheaply to hold up in gentle use - imagine if you're rough with equipment.

YOU DO NOT NEED THAT FOR YOUR LAPTOP. I DO NOT KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT LAPTOPS BUT I KNOW YOU DO NOT NEED THAT. SOME LAPTOPS  ARE ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH EVERYTHING. YOU HAVE SO MANY COMPUTER GEEKS IN THE WORLD. THEY COULD HACK INTO ANY COMPUTER. THIS IS ALL I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THIS SUBJECT. IF YOU PUT PLASTIC ON A LAPTOP YOU WILL BURN IT ON THE COMPUTER AND YOU WILL END UP SENDING IT BACK TO SHOP OR THE COMPANY YOU BROUGHT IT FROM.
