By Margaret Mason (from Mighty Girl) on April 5, 2010
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
Lapdesk
N700, $80
Euro
Wooden Lap Desk, $38
Blends nicely with your actual desk when you have company. Once you wipe off the Cheeto
dust, that is.
e-Pad
Lap Desk, $40
The e-Pad has a travel handle and storage pouch for papers and office supplies. When you're not using it, you can flip it over and use it as a dog bed for your Chihuahua.
LapDawg,
$90
The LapDawg is so adjustable you could practically use it while you're rock climbing. But why would you go rock climbing on a Saturday morning when you could be watching Hulu in bed?
