Lightweight, quiet and does a good job.
This works exactly how I wanted it. I always have my laptop on it. It plugs in with 1 USB A cable for power, and runs very quietly. When I am gaming, it dissipates heat very well and keeps my lap cool. Great size for my 16" laptop. It also gives great peace of mind when setting the computer down on my bed and blankets, even on the floor - I know it won't overheat. I recommend you try it.

The adjustable Chill Mat from Targus is perfect and exactly what I was looking for. It works great at keeping my gaming laptop cool. The pads on the bottom make it nice to use on your lap but you also have the option to use it on a desk. I would definitely recommend this product to anybody needing a cooling mat, especially if you like using it on your lap.

4.0 out of 5 stars Died after 2yrs. Hate the newer Model design
Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2011
Size: TiltedVerified Purchase
I checked with several merchandisers including Targus prior to buying this. I wanted this design because I WANTED TO TURN IT AROUND, as I type approx 140wpm and with just a laptop balanced on 1 knee but I could never get it as flat as I wanted it to be. I can now type at my normal speed with the large end in my lap and the narrow base on my knee and still have a slight pitch going upward.

THE NEW DESIGN OF THE AWE55US HAS THE USB CORD COMING THROUGH THE TALL SIDE (normally the back). THE USB PLUG WILL NOT FIT THROUGH THE CORD GROMMET. NOT HAPPY. So I unscrewed the 4 screw with a jewelers screwdriver making 4 small holes in the foam. That gave me enough room to cut out the USB grommet and move the USB fan cord through the slot. Then I strung it through the middle of the 'binder' (that's what it looks like to me from when I went to school). So all my cords are up out of the way except for the power cord. It's too thick to run through the small grill opening. Took me about 30" to get it all done and it's still usable if someone wants to flip it the other way.
I do wish these fans were a little higher speed, as my brand new laptop has all the undercarriage vents only on the left side, from front to back. My older unit, which fans died after 2yrs were more powerful.

You do need to be careful where you place the 4 rubber grips legs in the grill/grid. The fan brackets will stop them from going down all the way. You need to make sure all the grips legs are set in all the way. They help the laptops stay in place.

It is so nice not to have a hot leg any longer. If someone wants to state that the fans are noisy then they are being very picky. I've had other brands before that lasted less then a month. If people don't want their fans running all the time they can either unplug the USB port or turn them off through the BIOS. I've had the 'U' shaped console with 2 fans, the flat board with dbl fans also. This is my favorite design of them all. The bottom is solid so there is no hot/cold air hitting your legs either. The fan wind comes out through the sides (or top and bottom of your school binder). Use your imagination on how you wish to run the cords through the middle/inside of your Chill Mat. It's almost like you were able to rehook-up all the USB parts so that you no longer have cords that are 3x longer than you need and everything is nice and clean again with no extra cords hanging out.

I wish the grid was 1" longer and the fans were movable since 80% of the heat from my 2-2yo laptops is in the back. Since I have it turned around though at least my wrists do not get as hot.

If your rubber grid grips happen to come out, Targus can get you new ones. You may have to do several written complaints before they escalate it to a Supervisor, who can do the extra work and order replacement rubber grips for you. Main problem is they believe you are looking for leg grommets NOT ones that fit in the grid/grill and they are not listed anywhere in their computers. Since this is my 2nd AWE55US I knew the grips come out of their holes easily, even though they are a bear to get set in correctly. I lost 2 the 1st week and another one 2wks later. Therefore I couldn't type anything b/c my laptop was sliding all over the place.

It took about 5 letters before my letter got escalated to a Supervisor that could help me. The Service Reps kept telling me they were going to RMA my Chill Mat. I told them it was not worth the cost of the S/H. They said the parts department did not have any extra grips. I stated then the Chill Mats you are getting back are being thrown away and you're just shipping out new Chill Mats for replacements if you don't carry the rubber grips in the parts/repair department. Just have someone go take some off a returned unit and send them to me, it's not a hard concept. My letter got much more into facts and figures about their repair practices. The waste on how they run their repair department had to be astronomical.

Truthfully I believe people only CALL asking for replacement rubber grips and get told "no don't carry those as extra parts". I don't take 'no' very easily and just tell them to forget about it and that will just go buy Velcro with tape on the back to hold the computer on their Chill Mat, which will block the airflow. At that point my letters got escalated to a wonderful lady who made the calls and got me the my replacement rubber grips.

Another nice thing is the MS 500 compact mouse fits nicely inside the large end.

On a different note I did get a fungus infection from the 'foam' on my stomach (I'm auto-immune to fungus'). After seeing the Dr. b/c my other Rx wasn't working to clear it up and getting a different Rx, it cleared up fine. So every now and then I take rubbing alcohol to the front 'foam' and haven't had another outbreak.

I pray they don't do away with this model as I won't be able to use it turned around since it's 2 pieces of plastic made to hold the weight of the back of the computer. When your wrists rests on the front panel where the yucky glidepad is inset when you type the newer style, beside leaving marks on my body, would not be able to hold the weight.

I think it's funny how the newer models prices are falling drastically. I don't believe they are working as well as Targus hoped.

This cooling pad works very well. We are using it with a Toshiba 17.3 inch laptop computer with 1TB SSD. The laptop fits perfectly on the top surface and does not slip once it is in place. The fans are very quiet and do not distract in any way. Remember, we purchased the Targus 17 inch chill pad--this is all you need for most 17 inch computers. This one IS NOT made entirely of plastic. There is ample padding on the back so it will feel comfortable on your lap/legs when using your computer. It is not heavy and looks very nice.
Just be aware that you must be careful of the power cord that comes attached to the unit. It is VERY delicate and thin gauge. So, do not yank on it or fail to store it properly when not in use. Also, you do not always need to plug-in the pad. Oftentimes if the computer is just up off of one's lap (or other things) the lower vents of the computer can get need ventilation from the bottom of the unit through the vent holes in the chill pad.
The pad is nice. You will probably like it. We do!

This works exactly how I wanted it. I always have my laptop on it. It plugs in with 1 USB A cable for power, and runs very quietly. When I am gaming, it dissipates heat very well and keeps my lap cool. Great size for my 16" laptop. It also gives great peace of mind when setting the computer down on my bed and blankets, even on the floor - I know it won't overheat. I recommend you try it.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cheaply made. Better than nothing

This has that 1990s cheapo feel to it for sure. I bought this because the basic design works for on the lap, in bed, or on a desk. Reason being is that the hot air is forced out of the sides, rather than the back or bottom which can get blocked by blankets / your lap (i travel a lot and use my laptop in hotel beds). At a minimum, this lifts the laptop up and gives it a means to cool itself in situations where the laptops underside fans would be blocked. The fans on this are quieter than my laptop, but clearly aren't very powerful. They move the air which is still helpful, and at least prevents my laptop from overheating.

Overall, if you want something that will drop your gaming laptop 20 degrees C, this isn't it. This is simple and cheap.

Have been using constantly for months now .
Works very well at keeping my laptop cool. Very comfortable to keep on my lap while using computer for several hours.
Really like it. It's hard to find lap cooling pads for laptops, so glad I found it.

Leichte und solide Notebook unterlage fürs Sofa oder Bett. Passt genau unterm Notebook (für 17" gekauft) und hat einen integrierten zusätzlichen Lüfter verbaut.
Über die Haltbarkeit kann ich noch nicht so viel sagen aber die Qualität und Verarbeitung ist einwandfrei.

3.0 out of 5 stars Un refroidisseur presque parfait.

Nous avons dans ce cas-ci un bon refroidisseur avec deux ventilateurs, mais il manque quatre petits silent blocs afin de pouvoir le déposer sur un plan de travail. Evantuelement, une petite alimentation USB supplémentaire, à part cela, le refroidisseur Targus reste pratique.
