I can vouch for the greatness of this product. It’s very handy both in lap when unfolded for mousing, and folded in lap or on a table top to help provide a little bit nicer angle for typing when using a larger laptop.

The above poster linking some sort of plastic office furniture obviously doesn’t understand that people use their machines in more than one place. The Laptop Desk fits perfectly in either of my bags that I carry my laptop in, so I can use it at home, work, or anywhere else.

I have one of these and therte great stops me getting fried from my macbook pro i use it folded in half on my lap as out flat the shape is not the most comfortable so if you fold it in half and have say on notch three and facing so the narrow part is towards you its quite comfy great idea works a treat on the lap and on the desk either way round ;-)

I have had this exact same laptop desk made by Targus back in 2004 when I first got my Dell XPS Gen 1.

Exact same design. Same Price too. I have it elevating my macbook as we speak. Its a great little deal. I probably wouldn’t have bought it for the mac, I would wait for the iCurve 2, but my dell laptop had a 3.4 ghz Intel in it and would nearly burn my lap.

Also worth a look is the Lapinator available from http://www.lapinator.com for the US, or in the UK and rest of Europe http://www.pocketpc-solutions.co.uk

Okay…apparently when I submitted the URL, the web programme removes the percent sign. So the URL for the homepage of Iris is:

http://www.irisusainc.com

Then select Drawers > Table Chests

Of course, Iris is not the only kind of plastic table chests available. Shop around at your office supplies store.

For those who will be using the laptop on their desk, I say that if you can, forgo the expensive lapbook/notebook desk stands like Laptop Desk 2.0. Go to your local office supply store (or one of the big box kinds) and look for a desktop drawer chest for about $12 to $15 that you can prop your laptop on.

I use one of those Iris plastic chest drawers. See this URL: http://www.irisusainc.com/drawers table chests.htm
Scroll down towards the bottom to “WVTC Table Chest Series”. My model is the 2-drawer one. My 15″ MacBook Pro sits comfortable on this table chest.

Costs only $12 at OfficeMax!

Definitely an example of function before form.
