Interestingly enough, this product was offered on the HP site when I ordered my new DV9000 laptop. As previous reviews have stated, it is indeed made of low grade plastic. I find it puzzling that HP would recommend this item, considering the fans line up in no way whatsoever with the laptop's cooling fans. The USB cord is too long and comes with an ON/OFF slide switch (which failed quickly). I cut the switch and wired it directly; it worked OK for a while. Now the USB plug on the chill pad itself ...

I have purchased two Targus Chill Mats, and while I can say they both work well when they do work, both of my Chill Mats have ceased to function. While the cooling tray does cool my laptop, and it cools it very effectively, the power switch on the Targus Chill Mat is very cheaply made, and the wires have been pulled out of both units I purchased. I was able to splice the cords together and got another three month's use out of the one tray from it, but for the full retail price of this tray, I expected ... Read More

Why?
That's all I can ask. This pad has an on/off switch located on the cord, which is tiny as extremely easy to break. I have owned TWO (TWO!!!) of these pads and BOTH have broken, IN THE SAME SPOT!

I bought this laptop cool pad for about $12.00 US, and it has been keeping my laptop cool for 2 years. I run climate models on my laptop (processing monsters) so I need a way to keep the laptop from melting down.
This product is not high quality - if you move the coolpad around a lot the wires will eventually fatigue and break on you. If you have a screwdriver and soldering gun - it should not be a big deal to fix it yourself.
