Summary: coolerr
Comment: 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.

Summary: has too many issues
Comment: 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.

Summary: Excellent Product to Cool Your Crappy Laptop
Comment: 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. So I kept the awful bottom of the line (Averatec brand) laptop. (Never heard of it? Didn't think so. There's a reason.)
I purchased the Targus branded cooler after my Antec one died... it is of slightly better quality than the Antec, though not by much. (I waited until after the Antec died because the Targus branded cooler was more expensive).
Amazon has a great price on both the Antec and the Targus, $12. When I needed the cooler (in college, usually on an emergency basis), I had to rush out to Best Buy and sink $25-30 for the Antec or $40-50 for the Targus. So you can see why $12 is a bargain to me.
The Antec and the Targus both have a life expectancy of one year (in my experience... if you get a dud, it can be less...) FYI Targus has a good warranty and will be helpful in making an exchange of your dud for a working cooler.
If you've already sunk your money in a craptascular laptop, then a cooler might be a good idea. If you haven't purchased your laptop yet, you might consider buying a laptop without an overheating problem. Or at least don't buy your laptop from Circuit City.

Summary: Poor Quality! Didn't last long...
Comment: 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.

Summary: keepin' cool
Comment: 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.
I RECOMMEND this product.
