 The extra features aren't worth it June 23, 2008
Ameet Soni (Madison, WI USA)
I got this for the extra features, but it's very impractical to use as a laptop docking station. It's better to buy a separate device for that. The feet on the stand leave streaks on my desk. The cord is bulky and short, meaning I have to sit within three feat of an outlet and still have a plug to trip over. I like the Belkin notebook stand better since it lifts up the laptop. I gave it a three because the cooling part does work well and even when not plugged in, it was practical to use while watching TV on the sofa.
 Worthless June 1, 2008
Nosebleeder (California)
This product only worked for a few months. I thought it cooled the laptop very well so I purchased two more to replace it and they have all stopped working. The fans won't spin anymore.
Review Of Targus Chill Hub December 5, 2007
James B. Martin
The Fans work fine and so does the USB 2.0 Hub. The Part to watch out for is the connector in Chillhub for the ower witch becomes loose.

 Everything I Needed November 17, 2007
Pyanfar Chanur (Frankfort, KY USA)
This thing works great: the channels in the top help with airflow, little rubber feet on the top lift the laptop above the surface, and the fans are extremely quiet. The USB hub works just fine and the unit can be powered by its own AC adapter, but I typically just let the USB cable power it. Because it's a bit smaller than my Dell Inspiron 8200 (15.4" screen), it packs neatly into my laptop backpack. The cable is short, easy to stow, and easy to connect/disconnect. Last, I've had it for a year now, and although it gets crushed every time I pack it away, it hasn't had any problems continuing to run. Highly recommended for anyone with a laptop that has a 15" screen (anything bigger and you might want a larger size cooler)
 Works, with a few kinks November 8, 2007

Good buy, it worked really well the first 2 odd weeks I had it and then the fans started making a lot of noise (hitting the casing) and its really hard to remedy that - you have to mess around with it for 15 minutes till they stop making the noise and then not move it to make sure they stay like that. Other than that, it blows air AT your laptop, not away from like I expected it to, but maybe thats just what I thought it would do.
All in all the USB hub is really a nice feature to have in here - makes this thing like a dock, just way cheaper. Buy it if you will, but make sure you get some order of warranty or be prepared to send it back soon if the fans start making any noise.
