Intelligent Tools: Laptop Stands
If you’re anything like me, you spend a decent amount of your couch-time with a laptop sitting in your lap. I fully admit that I’m one of those people who is no longer entertained by just sitting around watching TV. However, this seating arrangement creates on rather large problem: hot laptop + lap = burning lap. My laptop gets uncomfortably warm while I’m using it so I’ve discovered the ultimate weapon to combat this little lap bonfire – laptop stands. These lap-saving devices provide a lap desk for you to keep your computer on and keep it from getting too hot in your lap. Below are some of the laptop stands that I’ve personally used and my recommendations.
Allsop 29591 Cool Channel Notebook Platform
This is my top choice and the one that I currently use. It’s lightweight and doesn’t add too much bulk. It’s small size also makes it easy to take with you while traveling.
Belkin F8N044-BRN CushTop Notebook Stand
This laptop stand it a little bigger and bulkier. I only used it briefly because I found it to be a little too heavy. Also, my laptop slid around a lot while on it.
This one definitely gets the award for the coolest looking laptop stand. The brushed metal and cushioned leg and arm rests makes it pretty comfortable. The only problem I ran into was that my computer sat a little lower than the cushioned arm rest and caused me to have to reach down to type. I have a MacBook so I think readers with PC computers that are thicker would not have this problem.
