TargusDual Cooling Fan Laptop Chill Mat, Adjustable Cooling Pad for 17-Inch Notebook, USB-A/Mini USB, Black/Grey (AWE55GL)

As I have a one or other laptop on my knee for a lot of the day (both work and personal use) I needed something to keep my legs cool. I was previously using a plain wooden board about the size of the laptop base. It helped, especially as it made sure the laptop fans were not blocked by clothing, but could still get very warm on my legs. I had looked several times for an alternative but the cushion sort still transmit heat to the legs, and I don't have space for a the mini table sort (and also thought they might be too high for comfortable typing for long hours.This is about the width of my 15.6" laptop and a little deeper and so fits perfectly. I don't want/need space for a mouse as I use that on the arm of the chair). I think a 17" laptop would over hang the sides. Even without the fans on it keeps my legs nice and cool as air can flow easily under the laptop. When I've heard my laptop fans spin up faster I've tried plugging in the fans on this and they are quieter than the laptop at that point. I wasn't even sure they were running the first time I tried. When they are running I actually start feeling a slight chill in my hands above the keyboard as the air movement increases. I'm yet to try on a day with several meetings, but I feel confident it will still keep my legs cool.I don't think this would help much if you have a laptop which is struggling to stay within it's correct working temp range. Better to make sure it's own fans are operating correctly and are not clogged with dust. However it's perfect for making the laptop comfortable to use on your lap.The USB cable to plug it in can come out either side to match your laptop USB ports and there is a clip on both side to hold it when not in use. I dislike messy cables about, but this tucks away nicely.All in all, I'm very pleased with this and it's the best solution for the way I use my laptop.

Works fine, nothing great but keeps the laptop to an acceptable temperature. I like its design as it doesn't look tacky.

Definitely lowers temp in laptop. Decent quality, not noisy

I have been using this cooling fan for 9 months and to be fair, it was ok in the beginning, it did its job. It was a little annoying even in the beginning as it is a very loud fan. Over time though maybe like three months, the right side began working less and less. Eventually, it stopped working and now the fan on the left side is the only one working. Unfortunately, that is not enough. I use the laptop daily for several hours and most times I need to have many programmes running simultaneously. My laptop gets really really hot and since there is only one fan working (barely at this point) then the laptop stays hot... I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. I would recommend you to pay a little extra and get a decent cooler especially if you use your laptop every day. Also, whenever I work from my bed instead of my desk, my legs get really hot underneath it. Not worth it...

Does the job well. Keeps my gaming laptop a bit cooler and it's not as noisy as I thought it would be. It keeps the laptop in place well, without it slipping (and my laptop is quite heavy). It fits well and comfortably on my lap, lifting the laptop just right, preventing my neck from getting sore. The only thing that would make it perfect would be if it wasn't made of plastic as it makes it a bit 'flimsy'. When lifting it up with the laptop on I have to do it carefully as the cooling tray feels bendy, with the weight on, but apart from that it's great. For that price you can't really expect some sort of an amazing cooling system anyway.

Is light weight, comfortable to use and does the job.Yes there is a bit of noise, but my laptop stays cool all of the time now - even when in use for prolonged periods of over 6 hours.Being able to use the cable on either side of the lap top for the USB connection is a plus and the laptop does not slide around on the top at all

This is a cheap laptop stand with a basic fan. It functions well to raise your laptop off the worksurface, to prevent contact of a warm/hot device with your lap, and always to provide additional air underneath the device, even when the fan isn't plugged in.If noise and heat are your concerns with your laptop however, this won't solve the noise problems. The fan is not super quiet. It's by no means loud, but it's easily as noticeable as a laptop fan, if not more.My product also arrived with cracks in the stand surface mesh, which I suspect may worsen with time. Fixable with glue, but a shame to receive a slightly damaged product.

I found that my laptop was starting to overheat especially when using certain meeting software for prolonged periods.This product has really helped both lift the laptop to a more comfortable viewing height as well as reduce the overall temperature of the device by improving airflow.It is a little noisy when plugged in via usb socket but it also works quite well without being powered.
