Targus Lap Chill Mat AWE55US Overview

Targus cooling pad is very comfortable and provides efficient cooling to laptops, thus allowing them to function efficiently without getting overheated.

Product Description
The product functions efficiently by distributing the surface heat away from the device. It comes with two fans which help to spread the heat faster and hastens cooling. This contributes to the functionality of the laptop and gives the laptop longevity. The laptop cooler is provided with a soft neoprene fabric underneath so that the user feels very comfortable to keep it on the lap. It comes with a Warranty of one year.

Due to the slope of the chill mat surface, typing is faster and one can get the work done faster. The chill mat has a great ventilation system, which is especially helpful when the laptop is placed on a pillow or some other soft surface. It comes with a USB connecter which has to be plugged into the laptop. The design has many holes and this allows the fans to run without making undue noise and a constant airflow is maintained. The lower surface is provided with four rubber stoppers which help to hold the laptop firmly.

The Good
Normally, smaller cooling pads create a lot of overhang when used with bigger laptops. But this is ideally suited even for big laptops of 17"size. Moreover, the power cord is firmly molded in the stand and cannot come loose very easily, making the device convenient to use. The cooling pad is wedge shaped and this allows it to pull the air from all the sides and not just from underneath. Therefore more air is drawn in leading to greater cooling.

The Bad
It does not come with a power switch, requiring the user to unplug the connector instead of just switching it off. This can be a bit annoying. The rubber stoppers provided are not really very sturdy and tend to get loose very easily. They do not really hold the laptop very firmly either and the laptop keeps sliding.

Bottom Line
It is a totally amazing product and the cooling is just great so the main purpose is served. It works great even on bigger laptops such as 17'. It is very comfortable to use. The USB cable is plugged from the back which means it does not get in the way when one is using the laptop. The laptop actually feels cool even after a whole day of use.
