Product Description

Color Name: Light Gray

From the Manufacturer

More Comfort – on the Sofa, the Bed, or Even the Floor The heat-shielding design helps protect your body from laptop heat, and the stable, lightweight design makes it easy to move around. When used in a seated position, the angled riser positions your laptop to help improve neck and leg comfort. The soft, air-mesh fabric adds an extra level of comfort.
Without a lapdesk, you must lock your knees together to create a base for your notebook, putting undue stress on your lap and legs. This position also forces you into an awkward viewing angle, placing additional strain on your neck and head.	A lapdesk gives you a base for your notebook, increasing leg comfort and giving you more freedom of movement. The tilt elevates the display to a comfortable viewing height and the unique, 4-layer design shields you from unwanted notebook heat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent lapdesk. One of the best., March 10, 2009

By 

I. R. Smart. "Tzu Crazy" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: Logitech Comfort Lapdesk (white/grey) (Personal Computers)

Laptop tested: MacBook Pro unibody 15.4" (late 2008 model).
Laptop tested: MacBook Pro unibody 17" (early 2009 model).
Laptop tested: MacBook Air 13.3" (mid-2011 model).

Normally I'm not a fan of lapdesks. Most of the time they look ghastly, take up way too much room, and have those annoying "peas" in the material that rests on your legs. At first, they're fine, until you wiggle around a bit, the peas get pushed off to the side, and your legs end up against the faux wood. Not fun.

Enter Logitech's Comfort Lapdesk. I was given this as a gift, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to give the lapdesk one last try. The results? Awesome. I love it. And I'm surprised I do.

Why am I so surprised?

1.) It's comfortable on your lap, even lying in bed.
2.) The underside is made of an airy mesh, so it never warms up at all, but remains quite firm on your legs. Not too firm, as I sit in my shorts writing this in bed. Very cushy but sturdy.
3.) It's very light, so the added weight of the lapdesk with my laptop on it is not intrusive.
4.) It tilts forward a little so that it's at a "perfect" angle to type on.
5.) It does actually stand up by itself on its edge, so you can stick it next to your bed without having it slide over and disappear under the bed/sofa etc. Very convenient!

My laptop isn't running too hot sitting on it, and I can't comment on the number of layers Logitech says the top part features, but supposedly it's a 4-layer, heat-shielding design. I can say my laptop isn't running too warm, and while the top of the lapdesk is a little warm, it's nothing unusual.

So, are there any complaints? Well, my only concern with the desk is that it IS white, and the top part FEELS like if you slam it around at all, it will likely pick up a myriad of scratches. Mine came with a few out of the box, though I'm sure it wouldn't have taken me long to do it myself. If Logitech had gone the whole hog and made the top part aluminum, boy would this thing be killer...

Just bear in mind, with my 15.4" MacBook Pro, there's no room for a mouse on the side, though I prefer this, as it means the actual lapdesk is smaller and easier to handle. This lapdesk is designed for 15.4" laptops, though it can handle smaller systems of course. I think a 17" MacBook Pro "might" be pushing it. (EDIT: works just fine with a 17"!)

As it is, it serves its purpose very well, and is without doubt the most comfortable lapdesk I've ever used. I was more concerned with how usable the base is on my legs rather than how astonishingly it removes heat. It does the former excellently, and the latter quite well.

Great job, Logitech.

4.5/5

**EDIT June 17, 2009**

I can report I'm having no trouble with my new 17" unibody MacBook Pro on this lapdesk. I love it! :-)

Some people have reported their laptops slipping of this lapdesk. I've had no such issue with either of my unibody MacBook Pros.

**EDIT August 18, 2010**

Still loving this lapdesk, and it hasn't bowed or shown any noticeable additional wear and tear. Still 100% worth the money!

**EDIT September 27, 2011

And still loving this lapdesk. My wife is using it every day now with her new MacBook Air 13.3", and we have zero complaints about it!

5.0 out of 5 stars comfortable lapdesk of Logitech (high) quality, June 26, 2009

By

This review is from: Logitech Comfort Lapdesk (white/grey) (Personal Computers)

(What's this?)

Having used this lapdesk for a week, I find that this is a recommendable product even though I believe the msrp is a bit on the high side. Let us evaluate the features as claimed by Logitech's marketing literature:

1. Helps protect your body from notebook heat: I totally agree with this.

2. Positions your notebook to improve comfort: This lapdesk introduce a difference of merely 12 degrees and the truth is I could not feel any significant improvement after a week. I was using a light-weight cutting board before, and the 12 degree difference only means I tilt my screen differently.

3. Use your notebook on your sofa, bed, or floor: The claim here is it helps provide a stable platform over your legs. Compared to my board solution, I have to agree that this Logitech lapdesk is more stable. Why? The board is rigid and thus it is very unforgiving in its movemnet. This one has cushion underneath which dampens the movement.

4. Feels comfortable on your legs: The air-mesh material underneath this lapdesk is indeed quite comfortable even on bare skin. However, I would say I still feel the hot spots. (It's MUCH better than direct contact with the laptop though.) I must also note that this mesh is non-removable. I wish the cushion is only velcro'ed onto the lapdesk and is removable for washing.

5. Thin, streamlined profile: I am not sure it is "thin" at about 3 inch at the thickest part. However, the current design, as another reviewer has noted, is in fact very effective---this lapdesk stands on its own when placed on the side. It is indeed very convenient and I keep it right next to my reading/laptop lounger.

As you can see, this Logitech scores very well with me on its features. I must add that these features are all delivered on one nicely manufactured piece of furniture. The fabric seams are tight and there is no loose threads hanging around. The plastic used for the laptop surface seems durable and is well-grinded on the side to make sure there is no hard edges at all. I would say that the quality demonstrated by this product can easily justify its premium price, even though I also admit that I would hesitate to buy it if I were to see it at a retail store. The bottomline is: I am recommending it to my friends whoever come over to visit.

P.S. I must also note that unlike some reviewers, I do not find the laptop surface to be slippery at all. I tested this on a 12in thinkpad, a 14in thinkpad, and a 13in sony vaio. Maybe their laptop's "legs" are missing or getting dirty?

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty and comfortable, but not always practical, July 16, 2009

By 

Jennifer Ray (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)    (TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

This review is from: Logitech Comfort Lapdesk (white/grey) (Personal Computers)

(What's this?)

The Logitech Comfort Lapdesk is slick-looking, and it is definitely comfortable. As far as lapdesks go, it is one of the more attractive units I've seen so far.

When using it in the lap, I can attest to the all-around comfort of the Logitech Comfort Lapdesk. It holds the computer at just the right height, and at an angle that tilts the computer perfectly for viewing the monitor and easy typing on the keyboard.

Also, the lapdesk does a great job of keeping the heat from the computer away from your lap.

My disappointment lies in one area - the surface of the lapdesk is slick and shiny, very pretty. Unfortunately, it means that optical and laser mice don't work on it without a mousepad, Also, they slide right off the lapdesk without something under them to hold them in place. For those of us who prefer to use an external mouse with our laptops and netbooks, this is a huge issue.

That is the only disappointment I have with it, though. If you don't use an external mouse, then this would be a perfect lapdesk for you.
