The Targus CVR600 Is Versitile, Well Made And Inexpensive
This is the least expensive Notebook Backpack that I could find but it's surprisingly well made and stylish. It looks much better than its picture...MUCH better. I like the numerous zippered pockets. There's a place for everything, digital camera, cell phone, papers, books and even a mouse. I prefer taking an external USB mouse instead of using the touch pad on my Notebook. There's three nice bubble type pockets, one of which fits my optical USB mouse nicely. My big Laptop with its 15.4" wide-screen fits inside the Backpack's built-in sleeve like a glove with no room to spare. Another nice feature is the PVC coated bottom. This will protect the computer if you inadvertently set the pack down on wet ground. Most Notebook Backpacks are considerably more expensive without giving you more. The Targus CVR600 was a perfect fit for my budget. Plus it's easy on the eye with good quality and plenty of compartments. I give it my highest recommendation. (Note: Amazon had the best price after FREE shipping was factored in.)

Excellent for 15¨ labtops !!
It's incredible, I was a littler worried about the size of my 15¨ Toshiba A45 S151 but it fit perfectly!! It has space for other thinks like my camera, books, my cell phone and a lot of extras.
For my use it is better than a suitcase because it is not heavy, it's sport stile and less expensive ... Read more

Well designed but expensive piece of plastic
I found this when searching for something to rest my laptop on during road trips. I couldn't find any "bean bag" lapdesks - kids already in school, all sold out at [local store], etc. This item works fine. Compact (but not so lightweight). Pretty pricey ... for just a piece of molded plastic with rubber skids. Works well on a desktop (or hotel room table) with folding configuration. Keeps your lap cool, protected from laptop heat. If I can find a comfortable bean-bag, kid's style lapdesk for [less money], I'll probably take this back but will sacrifice portability in the process. Targus lapdesk is best for hardcore travelers. ...

Not as great as you think but not too bad
I hardly use my laptop at a desk. This product isnt that great if your looking to place it on your lap and use your mouse on it. I find that its not very comfortable and the mouse doesnt work very well. If you do use a mouse it really needs to be a mini opti mouse! I mainly use this to set my laptop on to keep cool as I usually have it on the floor, the bed, an ottoman, etc and it can get pretty warm. This product does work in preventing it from getting too hot so that your laptop doesnt overheat.

Coool Chill Mat for my Sony VAIO TR3A!
I LOVE my Targus Notebook Chill Mat! The silver color blends perfectly with it, and it is very lightweight & portatble, and ultra quiet. Perfect for small notebook owners. I was amazed at how cool it actually keeps my VAIO. When I first got my notebook, it was running really hot and my dining table was getting hot too. Now I have a place to put my notebook on to protect my work surfaces and more importantly, keep the notebook cool!

A Notebook Lifesaver
Its a rare day when Im willing to give something 5 stars. Today is one of 'em.

I have an Emachines laptop with a 15.4" widescreen and plenty of processing power. Meaning my laptop is about as wide as they come, and runs about as hot.

Summer just came round my neck of the woods, and in my hot little house, my hot little laptop couldnt hack it. I had it on a table, and by mid afternoon, it shut down. And wouldnt restart. The top was hot to the touch, and the bottom just as bad. So I got one of these Targus Chill Mats, figuring a couple little fans would help a bit.

They did more than help. Im convinced they saved the life of my laptop. My once hot-enough-to-fry-a-pie harddrive now tops out at a reasonable warm. Id say the air under my machine went from 95 to 60. Its not cool enough to refresh a beer, but its more than cool enough to allow my machine to stay on and operational all day.

At 11 3/4" by 9" its smaller than my laptop, but the feet on my machine still fit on it just fine. As I wouldnt expect Targus to make these in 3 sizes I think they chose a good route. Slightly smaller means itll fit nicely under any laptop, is more likely to fit in accessory pockets in bags (its only 1/2" thick), and leaves more room for the airflow you obviously need. So I cant fault it there.

Between my machines feet and the little rubber bumpers on the Mat, my machine is stable on it, and its stable on its own feet. I cant tell the difference between typing on it, or on a table. Despite the slightly smaller size.

Only having one little cable (which I keep bundled and twist-tied to the shortest length possible) running between the two is totally unobtrusive and easy to deal with. And dont even think about the sound. I honestly didnt even realise it was on at first.

The best $30 Ive spent on my computer in a long time. And spending that now sure saves the cost of replacing burnt out parts.

Definitely cool!
I have a Fujitsu Lifebook C-Series that I was unable to sit with in my lap for more than a few minutes at a time without my thighs feeling like the skin was about to peel off. This "Chill Pad" has saved the day! ... Read more

Best Laptop Accessory!!!!!!!
I LOVE this little mouse. Its so compact but it doesnt feel too small. Portability is awesome as its cord is retractable. Theres not one downside to this mouse! I highly recommend this for any laptop user. This is also the first time I've owned an Optical Mouse and I will NEVER go back to a track ball mouse. You no longer have to drag the mouse everywhere and when using a laptop thats really helpful!!! You can also use this on almost any surface!

great size and useability
This is a fantastic solution for a laptop. I don't like touch pads or even the stick in an IBM ThinkPad. I used to carry a full size mouse. This is virtually weightless and can fit in any spare part of a laptop bag. I initially found my hand felt cramped because I was trying to hold it with the same fingers I use for a full size mouse, but I consciously just rearranged my fingers and found it to be incredibly easy to use for long periods of time. The retracting cord is ingenious.

very pleased so far!
I have rather sweaty fingers (I tell ya, this is really annoying), so it is essential for me NOT to rely on touch pad too much. This tiny mouse has been a life saver for me. It is rather affordable, and works pretty well with many (but not all; occasionally it doen't work on very, very smooth surfaces) surfaces. There are more expensive chordless models, but in many occasions, I'll be working on my notebook computer with limited amount of space, so having the "retractable" chord doesn't bother me at all.

"Retractable" is indeed the key here. It's so compact that you don't feel that you are carrying around yet another tiny electronic gadget along with your cell phone, mp3 player, shaver, etc., etc. Anyways, highly recommended.

Wonderful - so glad I bought it!
I didn't think I really needed this for my laptop, since the touchpad does a decent job. But this makes navigating the desktop and surfing the web much faster and more comfortable. It's tiny, but feels just right. I don't even like using a regular sized mouse anymore. It is truly plug and play via the USB port - it doesn't require separate software or drivers, or even a system restart for that matter. I just hooked it up and was using it in less than half a minute. Both buttons and the scroll wheel perform admirably. The self-winding cord works like a charm too. It comes with its own carry bag which makes packing convenient. In essence, it's everything I was looking for in a mouse. I'm not usually terribly enthusiastic about gadgets, but this one is without flaw.

Mouse Size is Great; Retracting Cord Broke Quickly
Bought the mouse for a Dell Inspiron 600 because of size and retractable cord. The size fits in a laptop case easily and is far less bulky than others. While very small, it works well on small tables, on the computer itself and on an airplace tray. But, the lock on the cord rewind device broke within one month and I now have to tie a knot in the cord on both sides of the rewind section to keep it from snapping back against the computer when no in use. It didn't really cost that much, but, as it turned out, it was a waste of money. I no longer use it. When it worked, I would rate it a 5; broken a 0. ... Read more

If you are tired of carrying your 17" laptop (Order Now)
I purchased a 17" HP loaded down with features and extra accessories and have been on the lookout for a quality case. I went to a competitor and bought this by trying out several different brands. Targus cases are built to withstand abuse and protect the equipment. The wheels that it uses are in-line skate wheels designed to handle bumpy terrain and the case is soft inside but rigid on the corners to protect the contents. I would highly recommend, the price is higher than the cheaper made brands but it has alot to offer and if you paid over 2k on your laptop it is cheap insurance. ... Read more

Great Device
This is a great product at a great price. I bought one of these for my laptop to add to the number of USB ports available. I liked it so much, I bought another for my desktop to simply make the ports more accessible. The supplied cord is plenty long to reach the desktop on the floor and then I simply Velcro'ed the Targus to my desk to make plugging and unplugging USB devices much more convenient. The Targus works right out of the box, no install required and it works on every computer I've tried -- no problems. I must confess, the blue LED's look pretty cool too!

Absolutely COOL!
I am totally loving this little thing! Very slick design with those blue lights and the ability to put 4 different USB devices all into one super-mini hub. A must have for this price...

Does exactly what it is supposed to, at a good price
I chose this just because I wanted something cheap. I have heard bad things about some other brands overheating or having various problems, but I have been using this a few months and found no problems whatsoever.

It remains room temperature and has had no bandwidth or power problems for me. It appears to have a place to connect a power supply (not included), but that doesn't seem to be listed as a feature so I cannot guarantee it. It has two USB plugs so you can get the power from a second USB port if you need it. I have only needed one. My only complaint with the device is having that extra plug sitting around (attached to the cord), but of course that isn't a problem if you use it.

It's cheap and it works, so I recommend this item.

SImple as can be!
I just got this item after reading just some of the confusing reviews and other positive ones.

It was inexpensive and worth the buy.

Upon getting it I unplugged by Logitech webcam and plugged in the targus. I then plugged in mouse, digi camer and webcam and it worked as smooth as silk. It is most recommended!

Works great!!

Computer Hangs with Targus PA055 USB Hub
The concept is great, use one USB port on the back to connect to the Targus USB Hub, and then from there you can plug in four additional USB devices.

The problem I had with my Win98 SE machine, was when the Targus USB Hub was attached at bootup, my PC would not boot at all. Unplug the connection (either from hub itself or back of PC) and the computer boots fine. Once up, I can reconnect the USB cable to the Hub and use all connected devices, but then I have to unplug before shutdown or right before start-up which is a pain in the arse.

Great so far
Two months with this bag an it's still getting me to school. I haven't had any reliability issues.
The good:
1) It'll hold everything. I carry so many books to school I used to carry a backpack and a laptop case. Now I just have this bag.
2) Big straps to hold the load.
3) Lots of compartments to help devide up and secure the stuff.
4) Padded back
The Bad:
1) Laptop sits between your back and your load. It's padded, but this doesn't stop the weight of the load from resting on your computer. It should be a hard case.
2) Big straps that are too wide to leave much room for flexibility in the arms.
3) Useless little mesh pockets.
4) Deviders aren't flexible.

Thanks for reading

Too bulky
Though this backpack has ample room for what I needed to put in it, it's construction is stiff and it is huge, no matter how much stuff you have in it - it's like carrying a small child wherever you go. Also, the zippers are not the best quality - one is already totally broken and another on its way after only one year. The only plus is the separate laptop compartment - that is handy as I have a relatively large computer. ... Read more

I love this thing!
I own this keypad, and I must say, it is great. It plugs right into your USB Port via a 3 foot USB cable (which winds up inside the keypad). This keypad has two modes: calculator, regular keypad.

When it's in calculator mode, it functions just like one. So, if you want to send calculated data to your document, you hit the send button. Additionally in this mode, it has the memory function of the most basic calculators (M+, M-, MRC). It can also do percent, square roots, and pos./neg.

When it's in its regular keypad mode, it's exactly like the numeric keypad on your regular computer (with Num Lock, etc.). It also has a Tab key and a Backspace key, which function just as they would on a normal keyboard.

One of the best plusses about this is that the keys are "built" like your laptop keys. I'm sure you've noticed how laptop and regular keyboard keys are different. These keys are like the ones on your laptop.

I HIGHLY recommend this for my fellow laptop users!

It Works
I certainly wish it were smaller, but I guess that'd be hard to manage while retaining the feel of a normal keypad. The unit works well and adds some features that would probably be handy for spreadsheet work, like enter and backspace keys.

NOT for Accountants and other Finance types!
If you're a wiz at 10-key, this is NOT the keypad for you. I'm an accountant and the last thing I want to worry about is wondering if the number key I pressed actually registered. My Targus USB Mobile Mini requires me to put the keypad very, very carefully or I'll have missing numbers. I have never experienced this problem on a keyboard numeric keypad -- they all seem to have the tactile response of a calculator. I would not recommend this item, it is sitting in my desk drawer right now. I pulled out my old keyboard and hooked it up to my laptop to get access to the numeric keypad.

Nice key touch, lots of options, not "mini"
I use a laptop. As anyone knows who tries to crunch numbers, laptop keyboards don't have a nice number pad. This keypad can be used as a stand alone calculator. A "send" button can then take your final number and insert it into whatever application you're in. I use it with Excel mostly, to do calculations in spreadsheets. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I still have to go over to the laptop keyboard to start an Excel formula with an equal sign. The keypad has a nice key touch if you like a positive "click" sound as you press the buttons. It has a backspace button and a floating decimal option. It's definitely not a mini keypad, though. If you're looking for a tiny keypad, look elsewhere. It's not a clunker, but I think the description is a little misleading. I looked at a lot of keypads and this fills the bill nicely for me... ...

Excelent wireless solution for both desktop and laptop pc's
When I first thought about buying this mouse, I wasn't impressed by the reviews. Most of them spoke bad about it and pointed a lot of weaknesses. But I decided to buy it anyway, since I had a friend at work who had one and was very pleased with it. The one I bought came with the cradle and I must admit that it's very useful, since you can charge the batteries when the mouse is not in use and also you can plug the receiver and keep working.
The mouse is very accurate and precise, the blue led from the receiver is nice to look at and, to tell you the truth,it doesn't bother me at all or distract me, like some people said it would.
My recomendation is: if you want a wireless pointing solution for your laptop, go for this one. It works fine and it's a lot smaller than some from other brands.
I paied 54.90€ for the whole pack and must say that I'm very happy with my purchase! Great value for money!
The pack comes with:
- Mouse unit
- RF Receiver (USB)
- Rechargeable batteries
- Battery charger cradle
- USB cable extension

Great so Far
I bought this mouse for use with my Laptop. It installed without a hitch on XP and Windows 2000. My only negative comment would be that the wheel is a little "spongy" and has a little more play before registering a click - not the well defined click of my usual MS Intellipoint.

The range is at least 3 foot - as advertised. I haven't noticed any drop outs. The unit does operate on 2 AA batteries and I'm not sure how long these will last. According to the manual there is an optional USB charging station but having talked with Targus this isn't available for 4 months. If you have to carry around the charging station I'm also not all that sure how portable this makes the whole unit.

My recommendation. Great for the money (about $75AU or $40US) that I paid for it. Fits well in the hand. Smooth operation on just about any surface. Very happy so far.

Great improvement over the previous model
This new model is much better than the older unit. The greatest improvement is the on/off switch and power saving functions. The old version would only save batteries when it was left still, which never happens when it's in my bag and always ended up taking the batteries out which was a real pain.

I do not find the switch hard to use as some people have indicated. I have short nails and stubby fingers, but I have no problems with it. It's designed to not be accidentally switched off.

I use 700mAh NiMH rechargable batteries in the mouse and it's been a week now and I haven't had to change them with moderate use. I also find it comfortable to hold and pleasing to look at (important with laptops I think.)

The wheel rolls silently, but the clicking could be a little quieter since it is a laptop mouse that you may want to use in a classroom or boardroom.

The bendable usb adapter is a nice addition and I would recommend this mouse to anyone. I have used it successfully in Windows XP Pro, Gentoo Linux and FreeBSD.

This mouse is terrible
I got this mouse because it is small and easy for travel, however it has many technical difficulties. The battery cover is complicated and hard to remove, the usb reciver blinks when ever you use the mouse, the off/on button is very small and frustrating, and much more. overall....DO NOT BUY THIS MOUSE AND WASTE YOUR MONEY!

Wireless presenter
Unfortunately this item tries to do too many things and that is its downfall. The laser is not bright enough and drains the 2xAA batteries (would'nt last more than a day's meeting). The wireless mouse is difficult to control and will not replace a regular mouse - the only good feature is the powerpoint control for slide advancement and reversal- works great for that with the two neatly placed buttons.
