Targus - Chill Mat+ Laptop Cooling System with 4-Port USB Hub - Gray

I've had this thing for a few years now and it's absolutely terrible. Tapping the left fan to fix it doesn't work. There's no way to open it to check if something is stuck in the fan. It's been like this since a few months after I bought it. I've literally had to use my fist to get it to stop rattling. There's no way to disassemble it enough to get to the fans and see if they just need cleaning or if something is loose.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Chill Mat+ is really nice! My 14 year old son takes his laptop with him everywhere. The lap board he was using before wasn't very stable and the laptop would slide off and break. Plus it wasn't the greatest for keeping the laptop cool. This Chill Mat is a great size to hold the laptop in place and you can adjust the height if you have it sitting on your lap or if you are laying down looking at it so you don't get a kink in your neck. It's nice that it has the extra 4-Port hub of USBs in the back as it requires a USB plug to run the fan to cool the lapotp, and my son's laptop only has 2 USB ports. That being said, not everything works in those back USB ports. Maybe they only work with USB 2.0 or 3.0 specific devices? Anyway, the fan works well, but it is a little bit loud and takes time to get used to. You can unplug the fan and the elevation of the laptop still helps it to stay cool, but the fan helps more. Overall, my son has enjoyed using this Chill Mat and carries it around the house. It's much more stable and secure and it's nice that it can be adjusted for the position he is using it at.

Could not use PC without it. Makes it soooooooooo much easier.

Excellent platform very stable and when raised easier to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Chill Mat is by far one of the best and most practical inventions out there. This Chill Mat does exactly what is says it will do, keeps your laptop cool. The one and only thing I am not a huge fan of is the fans, they are a bit noisy and when I am trying to watch something or talk to someone on FaceTime it is a bit challenging to hear. I love that there are 4 USB ports so I am able to plug multiple things in and do not have to search for wall plugs or adapters. I do love the rubber pads on the bottom which prevents the stand from sliding on my table. I also am really impressed with the quality of this mat, it is a very durable plastic, so I know it will hold up for a long time. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a high quality and practical chill mat as you will not be disappointed by this one.
