Features

• Prevents overheating: Two-fan cooling system pulls heat away from the laptop and prevents the CPU form overheating during use.
• Protects your workspace: High-heat generating laptops can damage furniture surfaces; the ChillHub protects furniture from heat damage
• Expands your capabilities: True plug and play for up to 4 USB 2.0 devices lice mice, keyboard, memory drives, lights, PDAs, etc.
• Limited One-Year Warranty

Specifications and System Requirements

• Dimensions: 11.75” x 9” x 0.8” (29.85 x 22.86x 2.03cm)
• Net weight: 19oz (510g) without AC adapter
• Windows 98SE, 2000, ME, or WP
• USB Port

Conclusion

Retailing for $59.99 USD it’s a pretty good deal, but I am not completely convinced necessary. My portable Laptop Desk seems to do the job of cooling my computer and protecting work surfaces just fine by simply letting the air flow through at a much lower cost. But the extra USB ports are an advantage and something that I will use whenever I am home.

Pros

• Easy to set up, light, space efficient
• Extra USB ports. Perfect for a tablet PC that has limited room on its own.
• Don’t need to unplug everything when its time to go, simply leave the mouse and keyboard plugged into the ChillHub and only take what you need.
• Prior to using a Portable Lap Top Desk, my overworked laptop would overheat constantly, since I have had the Laptop ChillHub, it hasn’t froze once.

Cons

• Has to be plugged in to work, may not be as useful for the laptop users always on the move.
• Noise, the constant sound of a fan turning can get on some peoples nerves.
