Targus’ Chill Mat For Macs Designed to Keep Your MacBook and Knees Cool

10:30PM Kit Eaton | Generally I think “laptop coolers… meh” when I come across them, but the new Chill Mat from Targus—part of the new range for Macs—is actually a fairly sweet device. Mainly because it’s just a simple mesh-top gizmo, that tilts your Mac to a more wrist-friendly position and it looks like it’d sit quite well, stylistically speaking, next to a MacBook (and yes, I’m one of those people who’d think about that.) It’s got dual USB-powered fans to keep your Mac and knees chilled, and fits all Macbooks up the 17-inch Pro. Out now for $US50. [Targus] More »

Targus’s Mice for Macs First to Have 4-Way Touch Scrolling

10:30PM Kit Eaton | Targus has been making peripherals since before sliced bread was invented, but as part of its first line of notebook accessories specifically designed for Macs it’s come up with two mice that are the only ones to have four-way touch scroll controls for Macs. They’re ergonomic, and both have 1200 dpi sensitivity: the wireless version uses 2.4GHz RF tech, with a micro-receiver that slots into a USB hub or the mouse base for travelling, and the laser mouse connects over Bluetooth. Both are out now, the wireless mouse for $US50, and the Bluetooth one for $US70. Press release below, alongside news about the Bluetooth presenter that’s in the same line. More »
