As part of Belkin's laptop@home line of accessories, the CushTop Notebook Stand is designed to help you to take full advantage of the benefits your laptop has to offer -- comfortably, economically, and stylishly.

The CushTop can accommodate small or large laptops. View larger.

Versatile Laptop Cooling
The CushTop provides long-term, padded comfort and protects your lap from a hot computer. In contrast to electric laptop coolers that use fans to suck warm air from the laptop's bottom, the CushTop is made of unique materials that allow venting to keep your laptop -- and your lap -- from overheating. And if energy consumption is a concern, this comfortable stand is as green as it gets with no electrical consumption whatsoever. You can use this handy, attractive stand at home on your couch, bed, or floor, and if you need to get work done on the road, the CushTop is the perfect companion for car, train, or air travel.

Comfort and Convenience
Belkin has added many thoughtful design features to the CushTop. This stand is amply padded for extreme comfort and is covered with a high-quality, hand-washable microfiber upholstery that is durable and easy to clean. The stand also features a convenient, slip-in accessory pocket for your power supply and mouse. And since the CushTop features a flip-over design, one side of the stand is perfect for a 15-inch laptop while the other is just the right size for a 17-inch. If color coordination is important to you, you'll be pleased to know that this CushTop is available in a variety of other vibrant colors, including green, orange, brown, grey, and champagne. And for added peace of mind, it comes with a Belkin Lifetime Warranty.

Protect your lap from a hot computer.

Store your mouse, power supply, and other accessories inside.

The CushTop is available in the following colors:
Green	Orange	Silver	Gray	Brown	Champagne

5.0 out of 5 stars A good way to keep you and your laptop cool!, April 3, 2008

This review is from: Belkin F8N044-SLV CushTop Notebook Stand (Silver) (Personal Computers)

When I found this product I was looking to buy a laptop cooler with fans, because I use my laptop on my.. lap pretty much all the time. Unfortunately my notebook like most, has its cooling intake fan on the bottom, so when I put the laptop on my lap or on a pillow on my lap, the fan gets blocked and my computer gets hot.

After looking at dozens of cooling units with fans, and reading many reviews on the same product, I realized that I don't need more fans, I just need to stop covering up the one that's already in my computer.

When I saw this Cushtop Notebook Stand, I thought, that might work. And work it does! Note only does it have semi-hard surfaces for the laptop to sit on, which keeps the fan intake open allowing my laptop to cool itself, but both surfaces (both sides) have a very nice fabric covering with a unique texture that keeps my laptop from sling off. I can tilt this notebook cooler more than 45 degrees to either side, and the laptop stays secure without straps or any kind of fastening devices. This same fabric texture keeps the Notebook Stand securely on your lap, so you never feel like the laptop is going to slide off of you when you move around a bit.

Now I said earlier that this Notebook stand has "semi-hard" surfaces on both sides, so these are the same surfaces that will be against your legs when this is on your lap. The surfaces both have a firm sponge lining that is comfortable, and the unit itself weighs practically nothing so the only weight you will feel on your legs is that of your laptop.

I must say that I bought this product thinking that it would be just "good for now" until I found a cooler I really liked, but I think that this is the perfect solution for people who want to use their laptops on their legs.

Its very comfortable, and it unblocks your fans which keeps your laptop cool. I can't recommend this product enough to people who think they need an additional fan-based cooler to keep their laptops cool. It silent and it works!

1.0 out of 5 stars laptop slides off!, November 11, 2007

I really tried to use this for a day or two but my laptop (macbook pro) kept sliding off and pushing into my stomach. Since I type all day my wrists couldn't take the discomfort of being too close to my body. Maybe not so for all laptops but the picture you see with it sitting on a flat surface would mean a macbook pro sliding off completely.

I ordered 2 of these. You turn the very hard cushion over depending on the size of your laptop. It is just too 'high' for comfortable use of the keyboard. Also, the opening for cord storage is too narrow and it is nearly impossible to get the plug into/through it and there is no way the power 'pak' would fit, so I can't use it. I think I am going to cut it in half, may be more effective. The only plus I see is that my lap does not get hot from the computer, hence 3 stars,although it does not appear to allow the computer to cool, it still gets hot. My husband does not use the one I bought him, again it is to high. it is better than nothing.
wouldn't recommend it.
