One of the things I like about using a laptop is the portability it offers. However, there’s a problem. With a lot of larger laptops, especially full-sized Macs and desktop replacement laptops, there’s a lot of power crammed into a small package. Where there’s power, and whirring computer parts, there’s heat. That doesn’t work well when it’s time to take the laptop off of the desk and into bed or on the couch, so that’s why there are lap desks. Mashable has a great round-up of 10 spectacular lap desks for the home office.
I’ve been looking for something like this for awhile now, since a lot of my other work requires me to be in front of a television or DVD player for reviews and the like. I doubt I’d take my laptop on the road with me to the movie theater or anything, but to take it into the living room or to be closer to the television when appropriate would be very beneficial for me. The fact that I can use the laptop as a streaming outlet for Netflix is just an added benefit.
Or, you know, that’s the main benefit.
