Targus Stow-N-Go Chill Mat
Reviewed by Angie Kibiloski
The Stow-N-Go Chill Mat
(Retail $24.99) from Targus is a great little laptop cooling device.
Compact, portable, and pleasingly light-weight, this product is a great
accessory for anyone who is on the go with a laptop. Some coolers are so large
and heavy it is almost like lugging around a second laptop, but the Stow-N-Go
Chill Mat beats the competition by a long shot.
The dimensions are perfect for
slipping in your laptop bag or briefcase alongside your computer. The sides of
the Stow-N-Go Chill Mat slide out to fit laptops with screen sizes from
7” to 15.4” and the legs and cushion pads flip out for use and back in, flush
with the surface of the device, for easy transport. The legs tilt the laptop up
for an easy screen viewing angle and unobstructed airflow. The cushion pads grip
the bottom of the laptop to prevent slipping. The USB powered fan is small but
powerful, and draws heat effectively away from the laptop, lowering its overall
temperature and preventing overheating. When not in use, the USB cord winds
securely into the underside of the Chill Mat.
Targus is a trusted
company with high quality products, and the Stow-N-Go Chill Mat is no
exception. I have already found this product to be indispensable on my recent
travels, and plan to always keep it tucked away in my laptop bag. For a
portable, lightweight, true to its word cooling solution, choose the
Stow-N-Go Chill Mat and you will not be disappointed.
