    I am looking at getting the Targus Tornado Chill Mat, but I was just looking at the dimensions and they are:
    Width 9.0 inches
    Depth 11.8 inches

    The only possible problem is that the E1505 dimensions are:
    Width: 14.02
    Depth: 10.45

    So my question is does anyone own both and has problems with it not fitting and wobbling around a lot? Or if anyone knows someone or has heard of this type of problem.

    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    I have a 6000 and the mat is much smaller. It is not an issue.

    I have another question for you then, does it vent the air out the back? I would like to set it on my lap while sitting on the couch and such so I wouldn't want it pushing air out the bottom.

    lol, this is basically just elevating the laptop. It doesn't even have a fan. Does it really work very well? Is it just keeping the heat off your lap because it is elevated, but the laptop still is hot? Can you get this in stores?

    I can feel it slightly out the back. My laptop is cool to the touch.
