Targus laptop cooling pad for up to 16-inch laptops — Chill Mat PA248U5, dual quiet fans & USB-powered

The Targus Chill Mat (PA248U5) is a slim dual-fan laptop cooling pad designed to keep laptops up to 16 inches cooler and more stable during use.

Whether you work from a desk, a couch, or travel between meetings, heat can slow performance and make lap use uncomfortable. The Targus Chill Mat adds active airflow beneath your device with two quiet fans, rubberized contact points for stability, and a USB-A power cable that draws power directly from your laptop—no external adapter required. Built to be lightweight and portable, it also protects furniture from prolonged heat exposure while helping maintain consistent ventilation for your machine.

How does the Chill Mat improve laptop performance?

Improved airflow reduces the buildup of heat around the processor and other internal components, helping the laptop maintain more consistent operating temperatures. This can help the machine run fans less aggressively and avoid thermal throttling during heavy tasks like streaming or light gaming.

• Two integrated fans create directed airflow beneath the laptop.
• Low-profile design keeps vents unobstructed for efficient cooling.
• USB-powered operation means immediate use without extra power bricks.

Will this fit my laptop and stay secure while I type?

The Chill Mat is sized for laptops up to 16 inches and includes rubber grips on the surface to keep devices from sliding during use. Its slim footprint still provides a steady work surface that supports typing and trackpad use without wobble.

• Compatible with most 15–16" clamshell laptops and ultrabooks.
• Rubber contact pads prevent shifting and protect finish from scratches.
• Lightweight construction makes it easy to move between spaces.

How do I power and operate the Targus Chill Mat?

Operation is plug-and-play: connect the included USB-A cable to any standard USB-A port on your laptop to start the fans. No separate power supply or drivers are required, and power consumption is drawn directly from the host device.

• USB-A connector for instant, tool-free setup.
• No external adapter or software installation needed.
• Fans begin running as soon as the USB port supplies power.

Can I use the Chill Mat away from a desk?

Yes—the Chill Mat is designed for mobile and home use. It protects your lap from heat and can also be placed on desks, side tables, or other surfaces to shield them from prolonged heat exposure caused by running laptops.

• Portable, slim profile fits in backpacks and laptop bags.
• Stable surface for on-the-go productivity or leisure use.
• Helps prevent heat damage to furniture when used on tables.
