 Computer Kooler July 15, 2008
I purchase 2 of the Targus ChillPads. They do work and now I feel NO HEAT coming from the bottom of both computers. I highly recommend them for anyone who uses a MacBook or Laptop at home.

I was using this with my macbook pro.
This is a horribly designed chill pad. It doesn't raise the laptop up enough to allow any significant air flow, to actually make the fans worth the battery consumption (which wasn't too bad). The two rubber feet on the top edge that raise your laptop up will melt onto the case, and leave black marks. The little dongle switch falls apart, constantly, and you have to push it back together. And WHY is everyone making chill pads out of PLASTIC??? It's called aluminum! Use it!
I had this for about 3 months before it stopped working. You cannot set your laptop on your lap while using this, it doesn't even come close to covering the bottom of my laptop, and the fans are laughably weak. Unfortunately, this seems to be the case with most cooling pads.
 Works Great July 11, 2008
Purchased the product two days ago and it came in the mail yesterday. I've been using the chill pad since last night.
First of all, like others before me have mentioned, the picture of the chill pad online is not representative of what the actual product looks like. The one I received is gray, shaped like an hourglass and doesn't look as sturdy. However, I have an Inspiron E1505 which is quite heavy but it seems to hold up just fine. As far as the wiring goes, it is not made of the strongest material but since I primarily use it on a desk with little movement, it works just fine. The most important thing is that the chill pad actually chills my laptop. My only concern is that my laptop fan still works fairly hard even though the bottom only feels slightly warm. That may just be my laptop's problem though. Oh and also the price dropped by 10 bucks the day after I purchased it. What gives?

I would not recommend anyone to buy this product. The plastic blades which make up the fans starting breaking after two weeks. Then after another 2 to 3 weeks the cord started not to work without me wiggling it around. Then it just stop working altogether. Do Not Waste Your $$$!!!!
Depends on your use July 10, 2008
I have had this since January 2008. It has done a very decent job of helping to cool my Dell 1525 laptop.Which does a decent enough job on its own i must admit. Yes the picture is different and it is made of plastic. If you are a busines user I do not know if this will help, but for Home use on a normal scale, I would say this product helps to keep the Laptop cool.
P.S My brother has an HP Laptop and is a Journalist. he uses his laptop a lot. His Laptop Fan does not do a good job at all of keeping cool. This Product has helped tremendously.
Also Best Buy are selling this for $31.
