I normally use a trackball, so i was actually just looking for a lapdesk with a pull out tray. I first opted for the Logitech N315. It came damaged and I couldn't exchange it, so I just returned it. Just as well. Didn't like it very much. Just didn't seem sturdy enough. But, enough of that. this is a review for the N600. When I saw the N600, I thought for just a little more, having a nice touchpad with a few other features like volume + and - with mute and home page for the browser would be worth a try. Even if the other features didn't work well.
I was pleasantly surprise with this. I'm using this with my Lenovo W510 (which has a touchpad and little eraser tip mouse). The Logitech Touchpad works much better. I also have a MacBook Pro and I've been looking for a similar touchpad. I actually tried the external apple touch pad with my W510 (which was supposed to work on Win7 but I couldn't get it to work).
I like the 2 finger scroll, and 3 finger swipe, and 1 finger move the mouse (and mouse click). Wish it had the 1 finger double tap to lock and scroll/select. And a 2 finger tap for the right mouse click. The right and left mouse works well. I find all the ergonomics are good and weighting of everything works well. Set up was very easy. Just like it says...just plug in the USB plug, pull out the tray, switch it on...and away you go. There's software to download to customize.
*Home button to open web page, launch program, application switcher, document flip, keystroke assignment, or other (lots of options, so I won't list them).
*Scrolling
*Pointer speed
*Game detection
*Touchpad setting to turn off the 1, 2, 3 finger options.
*Battery Notification
After you open the software, it sits in the task tray. Haven't had it long, so I don't know how long the battery in the pad lasts.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with this. I could see getting alot of use out of this as just a lapdesk, or with the touchpad, or with my trackball if I like (turning off the touchpad), or just as a lapdesk for writing on or just using it for a flat surface. It fits my laptop 15.4" perfectly and fits into my backpack well.
Really nothing bad to say. Just would like to be able to double tap to lock and then select/scroll....and 2 finger right mouse click.

Great for a couch keyboard
Marketed as a passive cooling pad for laptops, this lapdesk's innate purpose was completely missed by Logitech's marketing staff. It doesn't make much sense that many people would need a peripheral wireless touchpad for a laptop that already has an integrated touchpad -- at least in numbers that would warrant mass production of this lapdesk, right? Laptop trackpads simply don't go bad often enough to create a large market for a lapdesk such as this. And that's where Logitech's marketing missed the mark. This lapdesk is not for laptops: it's for keyboards.Coupling this lapdesk with a wireless, tenkeyless keyboard, something like the Royal Kludge Sink87G (pictured #1) or the Corsair K63 or Keychron K4 (pictured #2) or similar, the N600's true purpose is revealed as the pointing device half of the perfect couch keyboard. Unfortunately, the perfect couch keyboard does not exist on its own. Sure, the Logitech K830 and Corsair K83 both come close, but those keyboards have membrane keys. Rii, Rapoo, and others offer similar layouts employing scissor keys -- less spongy but more fragile, and still not as responsive as mech. Wireless illuminated mechanical keyboards with integrated pointing devices are exceedingly rare. The Tex Yoda II might fit the bill if it were wireless and had arrow and function keys. The Ajazz Zero looks pretty interesting at first with its integrated pointer nubby, until you discover its driver is not easily downloadable, and its tragic key layout makes the right shift and other modifier keys a nightmare for a touch typist. Ultimately, in order to get the perfect mechanical couch keyboard, you NEED the Logitech N600 lapdesk.Sadly, this lapdesk appears to be discontinued. Searching "n600" on logitech.com yields 0 results. (You can still find its support page via a Google search, though.) Anyone on the fence ought to go ahead and grab one while you can.The N600 touch pad reveals its age with a lack of support for modern touch pad gestures. Although you can tap to click and two-finger drag to scroll, the touch pad will not allow tap-and-drag, nor two-finger tap to right-click, three-finger middle-click, nor three-finger vertical swipe to minimize / maximize. The touch pad does feature physical buttons for left and right-click, and middle-click can be assigned to the Home button using the SetPoint software. It's primitive, but workable.In any case, the N600 has no direct competitors as far as I'm aware, which is why it gets the full 5 stars. It is the absolute best in its class. There do exist standalone wireless touch pads, probably with more modern swipe behaviors; but none integrated into a lapboard, and none easily found for less than 40 bucks. Compare the price of the Logitech N600 to the Apple Magic Trackpad or the Dell TP713, either of which would be profoundly more cumbersome to wield on a couch with a mech keyboard.

The Logitech laptop tray is great, but the packaged AAA batteries were terribly corroded and glopped up the mechanism.
