Customer Rating:
Summary: It's too noisy
Comment: I bought this item from Amazon about 1 month ago. Firstly it worked great, completedly satisfy with this product. But now it makes too much noise. I cannot turn it on at night or in my office.
Customer Rating:
Summary: still running after 3+ years
Comment: I've had this product for just over 3 years and wanted to chime in because of all the mixed reviews. My Dell Latitude X1 doesn't have an internal fan and runs VERY hot from almost the second you turn it on. This product makes my computer feel (temperature-wise) as though it's not even on! Also, it's so quiet that I can hear the fans running ONLY when it is completely quiet (which is rare), and it's definitely quieter than the internal fan on my old Dell Inspiron laptop! The cord is a bit long, as one reviewer noted, and I don't know if I would travel with it because it does seem a bit cheaply made (which is why I am now looking for a portable fan because I don't want to break this one), but the thing is still working perfectly after over 3 years, so I really can't complain.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Would Not Recommend This, I Will Not Buy Another
Comment: Cheap plastic, poorly designed; Bottom line: After 12 months the cord frayed and it is now nonfunctional garbage; I will not buy another Targus cooling pad ever, and recommend you avoid this model.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Functional but poor quality
Comment: For the price now it's pretty reasonable (I think I paid full price for mine a couple years ago). But... beware the quality of this! It's cheap quality, and pretty flimsy plastic. The USB hub for some reason has never worked on my MacBook. The switch on the side broke free of its plastic holdings and was rattling around inside until I opened the thing up. A couple screws were stripped and were rattling around. The fans also need "coaxing" every once in awhile. Granted, this is after a couple years of use, but I tend to take pretty good care of my equipment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Not too shabby
Comment: Does it what it is made for, helps keep my laptop from turning into a stove, which it felt dangerously close too.
