Title: There are 2 different PA248U models
Review: The chill pad in the picture (silver rectangle) is NOT the model that's shipped today. The model pictured is the older model (item #21) and it was great. It was made of very sturdy plastic and VERY quietly cooled my laptop like a refrigerator. My only complaint with it was that the switch on the cable got broken.The new ones have the exact same model number PA248U (only the new one is item #22) but is a brownish gray, curved like an hourglass, and the switch is on the pad not the cable. Targus was either dumb or deceptive on the model number. This model is a piece of junk: it apparently uses less rigid plastic, runs very loudly until the plastic heats up. Then the fans hit the inside of the housing and either quit working or make even louder scraping sounds. I bought two (thinking I was getting the original pads) and thought I'd try them out. Oddly, they both become defective right after the Amazon return date. Don't waste your money.
Is the review positive or negative?
