Review on πŸ–₯️ LapGear Smart-e Memory Foam Lap Desk in Black Carbon: Perfect for 15.6 Inch Laptops and Tablets - Style No. 91338 by Marvin Short

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Probably great unless you have short arms like mine.

I have to give this 4 stars because it has a lot of features that non-me people will want. But this comes with an IMPORTANT WARNING. Don't buy this if you're short and don't keep your tablet in a case or you'll get terrible back strain trying to touch the screen. Let me preface this by saying what if I were a big guy. with long arms I would probably like this lap table. If I were to store my iPad in a case, I'd love it (there's plenty of room for a case in the slot unless you're using, say, the most powerful case available). For me (short, short arms, iPad Pro 12" with screen protector but no case) it's almost unusable. Here's the problem. See how much space this cute wrist pad takes up? Then there's plenty of room for the keyboard. Then there's a nice wide slot that folds back PERFECTLY when you put a thin tablet in. Now the screen is REALLY WIDE. Like a few inches from the bottom of your knees. The only solution I've found is to put something in the Tucking the slot behind the iPad to narrow the slot and allow the iPad to sit more upright helps a little, actually I would have preferred a version without a wrist rest - believe me, when I'm typing on my lap, the wrist rest isn't ergonomic enough Advantage to compensate for the severe back pain.

Pros
  • A smooth, flat surface keeps your laptop well ventilated
Cons
  • I'll write back
