I purchased this for my husband's laptop. Spend the extra money on this one with the extra USB ports - it's worth it. It works great, is super light, doesn't take up much space and is durable. Laptops grew in size but this can still be used under the larger models to keep them cool. Not really useful if you actually have it on your lap.

I've only had this about 4 months, but so far it's been great. One thing I would definitely recommend is plugging it into an outlet if you can rather than using the USB port. Apparently, plugging it into the USB port uses a lot of power and makes the additional USB ports not strong enough for use. When I had it plugged into the USB port, and was using the additional ports on the chill pad I was getting errors left and right. Since it's been plugged into an outlet, the ports on the chill pad are working great.

This is the second one I owned. The first one, I had the pieces of the fan broke and eventually stopped working. I really thought 6 months to a 1 year passed but I could be wrong. I am a power user - online 8 hours a day with my laptop. I purchased another one 1/6/09 and today - 2 weeks later - a blade of the fan broke and fell through the vent. Let's see how long it takes Targus to replace it and if they do how long will that one work. Update: I received notification yesterday from Targus and they are either going to repair or replace however shipping is at my cost. As my mother always says - what do you have more of time or money.
