3 out of 5 stars Where's the Targus Advertised   June 8, 2010
Charles A. Toro
Targus seems to be a very well made laptop desktop, however I've counted four different models so far with the same model number. Had to return the one purchased through Amazon because what I received was not what was pictured. The last one I picked up at Walmart was all black, smaller vents and had a high gloss finsh. Very nice - it's a keeper!



1 out of 5 stars Buyer beware, this is not the product shown.   March 23, 2010
DiG (South Jersey)
I should have read some of the more recent reviews, this product has indeed been redesigned and kept the same part number. It is strong enough to support my laptop, but only just. The quality just isn't there anymore. It keeps a bit of heat off of my lap when I'm on the go, but the laptop slides around on the surface. It also does a very poor job holding the laptop in place when used as a stand. Do yourself a favor, keep looking.


2 out of 5 stars Disappointed   December 8, 2009
A. Burris (Illinois)
I was surprised to find that this item didn't stack up to it's reviews I read. Maybe the design has changed....

It folds in half for easy storage... we it does this while you are trying to use it to support the laptop if you are moving it at all.

It has a, for lack of a better description, flap that I have no idea what it does - this product was new and in the package, but came with no directions. This flap is attached at the center (where it folds) and can be flipped to either side. What it is for is a mystery to me.

The ad I read stated it had room for a mouse. There is no room for a mouse as I have a 17" screen and even if there was room for a mouse, there is no flat surface to use it or a mouse pad on - it is all slatted for air circulation, which it actually does do well.

I use this product on my lap, as it was listed as a laptop lap desk when I searched for it. It is uncomfortable as it has zero padding, and as I mentioned above, tends to fold at the center while it is being used.

The moral of this story is you get what you pay for... I got mine for under $20 with tax and shipping. Money I wish I'd used towards something else.



4 out of 5 stars Better than the USB-powered cooling devices   November 9, 2009
Patricia L. Ehler (IA United States)
I bought this for my son. It is lightweight, easy to take along anywhere, and easy to use. Previously, we had tried USB-powered cooling devices but they caused to computer to overheat and shut down. Since this needs no power, it's the perfect option. It allows air to circulate well. My only complaint is that the little "kickstand" is flimsy and its hinges broke easily. We used an Altoids tin to replace it. However, I didn't hesitate to buy one when my daughter got a laptop.

Product came on time and was in excellent condition. Makes it very easy to put my laptop on my lap and room for a mouse/pad without overheating my lap either!
