Description: The LapOffice is like a giant pillow that you can place your laptop on while sitting in a non-desk situation, such as a hotel room, living room, basement floor, etc. The LapOffice aims to provide some cooling functions for the notebook (allowing airflow between the pillow and the bottom of the notebook), while providing comfort for the user (basically preventing your lap from getting overheated).

My wife and I tried the LapOffice – she thought the LapOffice was too big, she preferred using smaller lap desks that were flatter and less bulky. I thought the LapOffice worked fine, but I also prefer working on a desk or other flat surface. She's more likely to use a notebook running on battery power, while I prefer to be plugged in all the time, as well as have a corded mouse plugged in.
