Customer feedback:
1. What gets hotter than a volcano and puts out a huge amount of heat? A MacBook G4. So when looking for a “portable stand” for my laptop, I’m definitely looking for something that’s the equivalent of a hot pad, light enough to not smash my leg flat, strong enough to withstand being dropped, “sticky” enough to hold a heavy MacBook in place, and durable enough to make it through the trauma of baggage handlers. From the looks of the portable lapdesk, you might be mislead to think it’s a flimsy little plastic piece that’s about as protective as a wet paper towel. However, after hours of sitting with the MacBook on my lap, I only felt a minimal amount of warmth. If you’ve ever had a hot laptop on your lap, you can understand the gratitude I felt for the little lapdesk. The coating of the lapdesk holds your laptop securely in place – allowing you to shift your position without losing your laptop. Durability isn’t an issue with this lapdesk either. So far, it has withstood being dropped from the lap, knocked off the table (with the MacBook on it) by a hyper dog, tripped over by the non-attentive teen and stepped on by the tween.
2. I’ve used my Logitech Portable Desk for a couple of days now with a 15″ MacBook Pro and an old 13″ iBook. I hauled it in a backpack to and from work. I’ve put the mouse tray to task. All in all, I have to say this is by far the best lapdesk I’ve ever used and at half the price. It’s incredibly light and does a great job of keeping the heat off my lap. The surface area is precisely the same size as my MacBook Pro and grips the computer well. There are also non-skid bars on the bottom of the desk that keep it in place.
The mouse tray has a beveled edge that prevents your mouse from slipping off. It’s pretty solid for a slide out. Note that if you use the Logitech Portable Lapdesk with a corded mouse, make sure you have a USB port that’s not on the same side of the computer you mouse on. There is very little space there and I was forced to use a mouse with a long cable so I could plug it into the other side of my laptop (i.e., I couldn’t use my mighty mouse). Most people can get around this with a Bluetooth mouse, unfortunately my employer disables Bluetooth on our company-issued laptops.
