i am using this swivel pad under my macbook pro. my reason for buying was to facilitate client meetings. i am a designer and need to turn my laptop frequently for the client to see what changes i have made to a design. so i am glad that it is lightweight & slim--easy to fit into my laptop bag. however, i was expecting less friction. perhaps my notion of lazy susans with ball bearings that offer amazing smoothness clouded my expectations. this is not a ball bearing system, it's teflon that rubs together. so there is definitely drag. i've had better turning results using the cloth coasters on my kitchen table.

also, since it IS slim, a drawback i see is that it doesn't offer much space between the laptop and table (just over 1/8") for cooling purposes. i will use this turn table for client meetings, but i will still use my stationary laptop stand for longer use.

We purchased this product for our new 23 inch flat screen HDTV. We had limited vertical space under a cabinet so the very small thickness of this product was a must. The turntable turns smoothly with little effort. This product was exactly what we needed.

Swiveling this product is not smooth as it has no ball bearings.
For me it is useless.
It is just one disk on top of another disc, without as much as some lubrication to smooth the rotation.

This is a much better one: laptopswivel.com

looks small, thin and not capable to swival a small tv, but it does. This item is good enough for the 19" LCD.

Received product quickly and in perfect condition. It's very thin as advertised and I'm using it for a kitchen-bar laptop that I need to spin 180 degrees depending on where I'm sitting. It's a bit more flimsy than I thought it might be, but does the job if I'm careful spinning the machine (Dell XPS M1530). If I'm not careful, the machine gets knocked off the pad. This happens frequently, although I'm getting better at being more consistently careful to avoid that. The rubber along the edges has separated a bit due to this, but it's easy to 're-stick' it back down on it's underlying hard-plastic substructure. I would buy another one for $10, but not $20.

This item is great! It has a very low-profile and the friction for the swivel is just right. My fairly light 21.5" monitor sits atop. The cables do not cause any movement in any position. I also use the swivel very often. Some other swivels may be too smooth and will not stay in position depending on the cables being used.

If you want a swivel that can spin like ball-bearings this is not it!

By the way, on the product itself there is only a small Lapworks logo on top near the edge. Well that is what mine had.

Fantastic Slim Lazy Suzan for my 20 pound Samsung 22 inch LCD TV.
Smooth operation!

I use this swivel for my flat panel monitor. I have a GateWay 24" monitor that already has a swivel built-in. This swivel I use under the monitor base and it increases ( more than doubles) both the ease and viewing range of the monitor to share with clients and co-workers. Great product!
