5incredibleJan 17, 2005
By Lynne
I got this for my husband who would put empty boxes or folded clothes under his laptop so he could work with it on his lap. It's been 3 weeks that he's been using the ChillHub, and still exclaims how wonderful and amazing it is every time he uses it - which is almost every day. He worked from home one day that he couldn't get to the office, and for 8 hours sat on the sofa with it on his lap. He couldn't get over the fact that he felt no heat from the computer after being on all day.

Doesn't use the AC adaptor it came with, has it plugged into his laptop, and has his laptop plugged in.

4Works well but not sure about how effective it isOct 17, 2005
By S M "firepepper red"
I have been using the Targus chillpad for about a year now and I must say that it works really well but unfortunatley I cannot vouch for its effectiveness in keeping my laptop cool. I use a program called Everest to monitor the temperature of my latop and there is really no difference between the temperature with the chillpad on or the chillpad off. The laptop is noticeably cooler to touch on the underside but the fans still kick on all the time and the temperature readings are still the same. I give this 4 stars because the product is well designed and works well but because there is no measurable difference in internal temperature I cannot give it 5 stars. It might work better for you if you constantly use your laptop on a bed or similar surface or if you actually use it on your lap.

*** Plus points of the chillpad include: ****

- very quiet fans that move out air to the back

- a handy on/off switch so you can turn it off without unplugging it from your USB

- very nicely located USB ports that can be powered with the included ac wall plug (useful for high power usb devices).

**** Negative points include: ***

- slightly small size that may not work effectively for larger laptops

- fans do not turn off with the laptop if you leave the ac adapter plugged in (although this won't be an issue for the non USB hub model)

- you have to be careful about positioning your laptop if you have fans underneath so that the chillpad's fans do not interfere with the laptop's fans

- the ac adapter seems a little on the cheap side

By Nosebleeder
This product only worked for a few months. I thought it cooled the laptop very well so I purchased two more to replace it and they have all stopped working. The fans won't spin anymore.

5Great!Jun 17, 2005
By R. KENNEDY
I bought this item for myself. This was a life saver. I am in the military, stationed overseas, and it tends to get a little warm here at times, especially with no AC anywhere to be found! This item worked like a charm, keeps my laptop running great, and the fact that it is also a USB hub makes it worth every penny.

By dirtypanda
fans stop working after awhile. you have to cut the top part off of the grill to get them to work again. really not a good product but you can mod it if you take it apart. horrible product and not worth 20 bucks
