Ironically, laptop computers are not designed to be used on laptops, but on hard, flat surfaces. Nor do they work well on a bed, the lawn or many other places you might take them.

The answer is the Logitech Comfort Lapdesk for Notebooks. The padded, angled bottom feels comfortable on your lap, a sofa, a bed, or the backseat of a car. The surface is solid, so the computer stays stable and proper airflow is maintained.

Did you ever put a notebook on a bed? It may overheat because the ventilation gets blocked. I'm writing this on the living room sofa. Even though this notebook (a Thinkpad Z61p) is a big and heavy model, the use is comfortable because of the padded underside of the Comfort Lapdesk.

The Comfort Lapdesk sells for $39.99 at online and local retailers.

ThermaPAK has a really nice cooling pad that works great on your lap. It works via organic cooling crystals that phase change and dissipate the heat away from your laptop. Visit www.ThermaPAK for more information.
