Top 5 Lapdesks: Spend More Time in Bed

You know how you put a pillow on your lap so your computer doesn’t burn you while you work on the couch, but then your laptop fan wheezes and sucks in pillow dust? Stop doing that.

Invest in a lap desk. Here are five options that dramatically increase
your ability to work from the couch. Which is what all of us want in the
end.



Portable
Lapdesk N315
, $30
 

For the minimalist, this lapdesk is cheap, functional, and easy to
stow.

Lapdesk
N700
, $80
 

The Lapdesk N700 features an angled workspace and a padded base. It also
has speakers, which is key because you spend most of your day on You
Tube anyway.

    yeah, page two is blank for me. sad, because I really want to see the other suggestions! I totally do that pillow thing and then my laptop overheats, and it never even occurred to me there was a solution for this problem (other than, you know, sitting at a table, but come on. really?).

    Odd. I can see the entire article with all five desks for, like, 20 seconds and then the page refreshes and I see only 2 desks, and the link like this: >

    I click the 2 and…blankness. :(
