this cooling pad is amazing. I bought one for myself 3 years ago and it still works great. just recently bought one for my brother...however, this cooling pad is mainly good for laptops with the hard dives in the middle. If your laptop hard drive is on the side then this cooling pad isn't exactly what you may want to invest in.

I have gone through three of these coolers. All with the same issues. Either the wire stopped working or one of the fans. It is made very cheaply and isnt meant to last long. It does keep your laptop cool but its durability and reliability are very poor. Go with the antec laptop cooler, excellent unit that has worked great for me for over a year. The antec is built much more durably than the targus so go with that one.

I bought a POS laptop from Circuit City for college. It had severe overheating problems and Circuit City wanted to take 30% of the purchase price as a restocking fee, which I couldn't afford.

I've had this for about 6 months or so. A couple of months ago, I noticed that my laptop wasn't cooling down anymore and that's when I realized the USB wire was disconnecting and therefore preventing the chillpad from turning on. To work around the issue, I would have to fidget with the cable so that the unit would actually turn on. Well today it finally died. $20 is not a lot of money but it sure is a waste if the product only works for a few months.

I was nervous about getting a chill pad. My friend has owned several because she said they broke frequently and had to be replaced. I have had my chill pad for over a year now and couldn't be happier. Other than the fans being a tad rattly from frequent use, it's a great product. It helps divert the heat from my laptop and keeps my lap nice and cool.
