Revainrating 3 out of 5

like a table with a fan, it's ok.

Well I've had it for a while now and I think I can speak for it pretty well. I bought it to be able to do my homework in bed and in the car. The size fits the purpose and that was the main reason I chose it, but the legs are starting to get wobbly. Also, the gray edging on the outside edge of the table top has poor quality glue which I replaced with Gorilla Glue as the sections become loose enough to separate from the edge. I'm using this with a MacBook Pro that doesn't have a vent on the bottom, and the fan *kinda* helps dissipate heat. When running heavier applications, my CPU can get as high as 150 degrees Fahrenheit without it, and it usually hovers closer to 120 when the fan is running. Since the MacBook is aluminum, this means the palm rest surface can get warm, but not very hot. The fan speed is also a bit sluggish, but the fan can theoretically be replaced. The MacBook has a very small airflow gap, so having two fans would really enhance the overall experience. I sometimes use a fan to increase airflow in combination with a mesh laptop stand, but the whole combination becomes uncomfortably unwieldy and I don't like it. To widen the legs, they're now twisted a bit, which wasn't before, and even if you put the table in a horizontal position, it still doesn't seem level. stronger, but I'm not like that. The range of adjustment is enough to even out any tilt if that's what you really want. I mainly use it in bed and in the car as a back seat desk for homework. I chose it because the surface of the table allows to place both a laptop and a laptop, and at that time it was the cheapest option for this. If the legs fail I might try replacing them with something other than buying a spare and upgrading the fan as well. The cable that runs the fan seems cheap and I think eventually it will accidentally pulled out and stopped working. If you need space for homework, as a fanless alternative I would probably go with: https://www.amazon.com/Cooper-Folding-Writing-Storage-Reading/dp/B07JZCND72/ref=psdc_490924011_t2_B086WBG56J , it has fewer potential points ( feet, fans, edges) features a drawer, phone holder and book/tablet stand, plus plenty of room for a thin cooling pad.
