This product did not last that long. within just a month of using it one of the fans broke down. It started working again only this time the fan sounds like a helicopter is in the room. So i had to tape down one of the fans so at least half of my laptop would stay cool. The usb works great and frees up space however. However you could just buy a cheaper cooler and a separate usb hub. I would totally pass on this and would not recommend this product or brand to anyone else. I'm going to buy the Antec cooler now, hopefully it'll last longer.

The Targus ChillHub works as advertised, I use it with a MacBook Pro 15" with the cover closed and can notice a decrease in the temp with the unit on, not very scientific but you can still tell the difference. Very quiet unit, you can tell its running if the room is quiet but with any ambient noise at all and you can't hear it. And the USB hub is an added bonus. Overall a very good product at a reasonable price.
