Review on πŸ’» LapWorks Laptop Desk Bundle by Jonathan Suarez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Definitely a useful item.

The LapWorks Notebook Desk is a must-have when using tablet PCs like the Motion Computing LE1700, or just jotting down notes on a notepad or wired notepad. in the boarding hall at the airport or in Starbucks - everywhere, away from home or in the office, but also there. It's light and sturdy enough. I usually use it in the folded position, with one or two prongs raised - either with the built in plastic twist lock, or with a small book, magazine or even a block of rigid foam if I need a very shallow angle. This slight elevation helps me write on a handwritten virtual page with a pen, pen, or pencil, like in Microsoft Journal or Microsoft OneNote. It's easier on my wrist and my lousy handwriting is a little better. However, you shouldn't overexert yourself. If you're seated, you can open LapDesk, lay flat and place it on your thighs, then place your laptop on it and type. The computer won't slip off and burn your flesh because the wide grooves embossed into the LapDesk's faceplate hold it in place and allow for proper ventilation. The plastic is thick enough to insulate. I fold my coat or travel blanket into a small square and place it on my lap to lift the laptop a few inches. It also helps with stability. Just don't try to carry your laptop around by grabbing the LapDesk's wings and lifting it up like a tray. It's not designed for that and will likely fail. And the little mouse pad in the sidebar isn't physically part of the build, just a handy addition. But since I rarely use a mouse or trackball, it doesn't matter. I have never encountered any problems. I own several. I think I bought my first one in 2003. I think I saw it at Best Buy or Staples. Eating is understandable. He's still going strong after fifteen years. I've since bought four more. I use a lot of computers at work. Five computers is more than enough, but if I need more, I'll buy a few without hesitation.
