4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best accessories I bought to go with my new iBook, March 25, 2004

I had seen this item elsewhere described as the MacAlly Icepad. Amazon's price was good. And the item was just what I wanted it to be. Lightweight, sturdy enough, able to fold fairly flat and slip inside my computer bag. Sets the laptop at an angle allowing air to circulate beneath the bottom. It still gets a little warm, but nowhere near as much as when I use the laptop without it. The rubbery surface on both sides keeps the computer in place on the Icepad and also steadies them both on your lap or in bed. Something else I really like is the elevation the angle gives the keyboard. Not only does it keep the iBook from overheating, it gives a more comfortable typing position, whether on a desk or on my lap. My iBook has a 14" screen. The Icepad is perfectly adequate for that.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good, December 17, 2003

I am very happy with this device. My computer does slide a bit when I am lazily lying in bed, using my 12" PowerBook, which isn't really heavy, but I like the cooling feature. My computer still gets warm, but it's better than before.

I'd been using a similar product, the Targus Lapdesk, for years, until it finally broke. They redesigned it and the new model was/is junk so I went looking for a replacement. Found this and I've been very happy since. It's not as thick or sturdy as the Targus, which concerns me somewhat in terms of durability, but functionally it does exactly what it's supposed to. Note: the 'folded' position is for table, not lap use, it's too narrow for that. The 'unfolded' position is good for lap use and provides just enough space to work while remaining portable. Highly recommended.
