Great solution!

"I'm on my laptop 10-16 hours a day doing work, and I've tried all kinds of cooling devices with fans. None of them work that well after awhile, and many are bulky and uncomfortable on your lap. Not so with this pad. It sucks the heat right out of the laptop, is very comfortable against your legs, and keeps the laptop cooler. in addition, it is just weighty enough to keep the fabric from your clothing from bi..."

Good Concept, Poor Result

"The idea of pulling heat away from computer is great. This pad does not require power, which does not drain the computer battery. This also keeps the USB port available. Unfortunately, the surface is slick, and computer slides all over the place. Contents are hard and lumpy--computer would not sit flat, making it hard to type. Would be better if it was made from material (neoprene) that resisted sliding, held co..." Read Full Review »

Fantastic and Practical for Laptops

Targus HeatDefense Pad for Laptops Review

Great for MacBooks!

★★★★☆
4.0

"I bought this for my 17 inch MacBook Pro because it would get so hot that it almost hurt to use it while it was plugged into the power adapter. I understand this is a common thing with MacBooks.



The main reason I decided to get this instead of one of the cooling pads with fans was because on the Ma …"  Read Full Review »

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT

★☆☆☆☆

"I seriously cannot tell you how much I hate this product. I read everywhere online that this product would help reduce heat and help maintain a healthy temperature, but boy was I wrong. Not only does this not work, but when I put it on my lap, my lap gets hot as well. I bought my laptop back in Marc …"  Read Full Review »

Not what I expected

★★★☆☆
3.0

"My aunt bought this for me because she bought one and said how well it works. When I first set my 17" laptop on it, the crystals were so bulky that I had to warm it up by laying a towel over it and using my iron to soften it up. As it was, my laptop was rocking all over the place and it would not se …"  Read Full Review »

"This is the 2nd of these coolers I have purchased. I bought one for another laptop and it really is great, so I bought this one for my new computer. The new computer cools from the side, so I don't really need this, but I keep it under the laptop, just in case. It is the most portable of any prev …"  Read Full Review »
