I just replaced my desktop pc with a laptop last fall. I’ve been using the keyboard and mouse from the old pc with the laptop and so far am loving the setup. For me, the keys on the laptop make for slow typing compared to the standard size.

Alienware Laptops are one of the costliest gaming laptops available in the market. If it is difficult for you to get a brand new Alienware gaming laptop you can check out for other options. Alienware Refurbished Laptops come at affordable rates. You may be biased about buying a second - hand laptop. A refurbished laptop is different from a "second-hand laptop."

This product seems a bit too complex and unstable to handle , I would go with some simpler solutions such as ones that can be found here :

Make your own laptop stand following this person’s Instructable (not mine):

It is easy to make (using even cardboard or plywood), customizable to your own specs, lightweight, and portable.

Interesting article. I had noticed myself curled over to work on this laptop while sitting here in bed, which is why I read this article in the first place. However I do not intend to plunk down a pile of cash (yes, $100 is a pile) for a stand, especially one that I can’t easily take with me. So I have just built one, and while it is made of humble cardboard I must say the improvement in comfort is startling. I’m convinced. I shall build something foldable out of acrylic or thin steel.
Nice setup, Joe. I like the desk stand; it looks like you could just slide the keyboard right under it when you need the full desk surface.

It’s a shame that the Apple laptops cannot fold back the screens to 180degrees. For my work Toshiba laptop, I have it practically standing vertically up against the wall, which is just the right height, with a seperate USB keyboard and mouse.
For sofa use, we’ve now bought a Belkin “CushTop” which is good for raising the laptop afew inches to reduce neckstrain looking down. The only bad thing about this, is that cushioning absorbs the heat and doesn’t dissipate it, so I don’t think its that good for the laptop… then again, its work winXP so I don’t really care, haha!

I use a laptop stand and a monitor stand to bring the screens up to eye level, and an Apple keyboard on my desk. It works realy well. I forgot the name of the stand, but it's pretty popular Picture of setup here
