Yeah, so, I've been using my laptop like crazy the past few months trying to get through my giant backlog of client work that really needs to get done. Sitting on a cold, hard dinner table chair ain't all it's cracked up to be, so a lot of times I tend to find myself on the couch.

We all know that laptops stopped being laptops a while ago. Faster hardware usually means an even faster processor to keep up and with memory being as cheap as it is, software developers are able to create more and more complex applications. Well, more complex applications require more CPU cycles and this usually means more heat and we're at a point now, where we can safely say that a burning hot notebook computer should NOT be placed near your reproductive organs. Exploding laptop batteries, anyone?

Yes, FUCK THAT.

So, anyway, I usually place my laptop on a couch cushion and then put the combo on my lap. Not very comfortable, but I put up with it... until I heard about this puppy. Yeah, I know, lapdesks have been around for a while, but it really wasn't something that came to mind during my many hours of frantic coding. I must say, though, that this puppy looks nice and at $40 USD you can bet your candy ass I'm picking one up as soon as it comes to market.

Only thing I'd like to see is a wittle-bitty space to use my mouse, but that's ok. I'm used to the trackpad.

Yep, I can see the future. A future were toasty-warm radioactive genitals do not exist.
