Product Description:
The Targus Chill Mat for netbooks features two fans that generate cool air to keep the netbook running efficiently and to help prevent overheating. The Chill Mat can be also used in the office to protect furniture from heat damage, or on the go to protect your lap from heat. Rubber grips keep your netbook in place to provide a sturdy workspace. Ideal for travel, the Chill Mat is highly portable and features built-in cable management. The device plugs directly into the USB port so no additional power is required.

This is one of the best scales i've ever owned. The cooling feature is a god-send, no other scales have them. How are you supposed to accurately weigh yourself when you are feeling apprehensive? the one drawback is that it broke when i stepped on it. the other is that it doesn't actually tell you how much you weigh.

My take:
-thin, light, cheap, cools fine, quiet, low power draw.
-I took off the memory door on my computer to enhance cooling.
-quieter than other coolers I have owned, you can barely hear it.
-Battery life drop is pleasingly small, from 6 to 5 hours usable.
-Fan intakes are on the bottom (blows upwards), not so hot for a bed.
-Fits in my targus netbook case along with my ASUS EEE PC.
-No ball bearing fans, other similar coolers I have owned die after
9 months at 8 hours a day, I expect similar lifespan here.
-It has special fans to make it thin, but I wish it was even thinner.
Overall, unless I could find something more compact, I would
buy this one again.

I was having overheating problems with my netbook, so I looked into buying the Targus Chill Mat. After finally deciding I'd give it a shot, I ordered it and it works really well. It fits the base of my netbook almost exactly, and is lightweight enough to be carried everywhere I bring my netbook. The two fans are very quiet and make no more noise than the computer itself. It has a simple enough setup to be connected to my netbook 24/7, and whereas before I had to keep my netbook off of anything that was not a tile, marble, or wood surface to avoid overheating, I can now set it straight on my bed with no fear of crashing. Even better, the fan runs off of your computer's power without compromising battery life in the least.
The only problems with the product are minor - because of it's light weight, it appears and feels cheap, although it certainly is not that way. Any pressure on the fans causes them to press against the frame and make a slight buzzing noise, so you have to be careful when you grab it.
Overall a wonderful product for anyone who has overheating concerns or wants a cool layer between their lap and their netbook.
