Product Description

Does you notebook over heat? I know mine does. Sometimes notebooks laid on a flat surface can be an obstruction to the fan that's located at the bottom of the notebook. The Laptop Legs/Mac Feet attaches to any notebook at the bottom with a peel n' stick adhesive. Each weighs only 7 grams or 1/4 of an ounce.
Don't shorten the life span of your computer. Allow increased air flow under the notebook so there is no heat build-up. Other uses for the Laptop Legs/Mac Feet include elevating desktop keyboards higher than their built-in legs allow to reduce body fatigues from the back and shoulder muscles.
It is packaged as 1 pair, a total of 2 Legs/Feet per package and have a 1 year limited warranty against defects. Supports weight of 15 pounds indefinitely.

2.0 out of 5 stars fatal flaw -- poor adhesive, March 12, 2006

great idea, poor execution.

the anti-skid patches only contact the surface of the desk when the legs are closed.

the fatal flaw, however, is the adhesive used to attach the legs to the laptop itself. remember: these legs are touted as the solution to the computer getting too hot, solving the problem by letting more air circulate under the machine. great idea!

now check out how you're supposed to remove the legs if you decide to take them off: first heat them up with a hair dryer, then peel them off. here's an interesting point: a laptop that gets too hot will produce just as much heat as a hair dryer, ergo the fatal flaw. when the computer gets hot, the adhesive softens up and lets go, and the laptop slides off the legs. even if the legs are not extended, the computer will slide off the legs, leaving it uneven and unstable.

maybe i can find some other kind of adhesive to use, one that won't be totally undermined by the very heat it's supposed to alleviate. if i can find something that works, i'll change this rating to a 5.

3.0 out of 5 stars Great for large laptops, but before you buy..., December 1, 2005

Consider buying it elsewhere.

The legs are perfect for large laptops. My own is a 17" widescreen. And although there are three vents on its underside, making placement asymmetrical, it is not so much so as to affect the stability of the laptop resting on a surface. There is a definite improvement in airflow and typing elevation (Two different elevations). Good airflow keeps your processor and hard drive cool, improving the life of the machine.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a relief! Great for laptops and desktop keyboards, too., March 15, 2005

I've been using my Laptop Legs for several weeks now and don't know how I got along without them. It's much more comfortable typing on a laptop when you can angle the keyboard up a little.

If you own a desktop Macintosh, you've probably tried jamming something under the keyboard to tilt it a little higher. I know I have. With the Laptop Legs you get two pairs in each package, so I use one on my iBook and another on my Apple keyboard. Finally, I can adjust my keyboard more than the meager 1/4" I get with the built-in height adjustment.
