2. Targus?

Sep 2013

I had a Targus (I think that was the name, could be Tergus) that I used when I had my Mac laptops. My first one heated my legs so badly they looked bruised and then burned my hand when I tried to lift it off my lap. I got another (was trying to fit in with my Mac loving family) and it too was hot but not as much. The fan lasted as long as I could tolerate using a Mac, several more years with my second one. It worked OK, did not fan my legs though so it could still be warmer than I like but it kept my Mac cool.

No need now, my Samsung is sitting on my bare legs and is cool as can be. I don't know what the difference is but my Mac's were hot as could be.

So, Targus (or Tergus) worked for me. Hope you find something.
