5.0 out of 5 stars Overall the best lap desk I've seen, February 22, 2010

I've wanted a product like this for some time, but I'm picky. Some I've seen were too flimsy, others too heavy, still others too small or too pricey. When I saw this one on Amazon I took a chance and bought it. I'm glad I did.

To me it's the best of all possible worlds. It's surprisingly sturdy yet also quite light. It's got room for my 15" laptop and could easily accomodate a 17" model without a problem. It's got two padded cushions on the bottom, one slightly thicker than the other so it slants upward as it sits on your lap, just right for a book or PC.

The really great thing about it is the set of zippered pouches on the bottom. They have plenty of room for pens, a mouse, sticky note pads, etc. It also has two deep crevices on top near the handle that can hold tons of writing instruments or whatever. The pouches have Velcro strips to hold them against the bottom of the board, but they can hang down if you prefer. Whoever designed this item put some real thought into it.

Unfortunately the picture here on Amazon doesn't show the top of the board. That's a shame, because it really should be seen from both sides to be appreciated. I heartily recommend it to anyone looking for a great lap desk.

When I was first looking at lap desks to put my computer on while working in bed, I found one, but it was out of stock. So, when looking at this one, I thought that it was very similar and had the same features as the other. However, I am a bit disappointed because it doesn't offer the two built-in mouse pads on the left and right of it. Plus, the picture online is the underside of it--how much help is that? Overall, I am glad that I purchased it, but it wasn't really what I was expecting. It doesn't have a grip pad on the surface, so if you are trying to work on anything besides your laptop, it can be annoying, because whatever you are reading or working on slides towards to you. But if you wouldn't mind it, then you will find it acceptable. To its credit I must say that the pillows on the underneath side sit on your legs very comfortably, and the pockets are sort of a bonus. When the desk is right side up, the pockets are good places to put pens, discs, flash drives, or anything that is not bigger than two baseballs. Also, the surface of it has two miniature pockets built in it, and I have found them helpful for storing pens, post-it notes, flash drives or MP3 players. Another good thing that this desk has is the ability to keep the computer from overheating.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect lapdesk, March 20, 2010

I needed a lap desk for my 17" laptop. This one has filled the bill.

It it comfortable. It has room for my 17" laptop PLUS a mousepad. There is zippered storage underneath where I can keep my mouse and cords when I travel. There are 2 deep organizers on top for pads, pens, cell phone, etc.

I am very picky about how I want things to be, so the fact I am pleased with it speaks volumes.
