    Hey.

    I need a Laptop Desk....Any recommendation?

    Should not be that expensive, and shouldnt be too big so it takes up less space (portable) as I just need it for my laptop.

    I would also like if there is laptop desk+chair combo or something.

    Thanks.

    Well I am looking for a desk, maybe something like this? Or is this too cheap? A better looking one would be nice.

    LOL...I though by portable you meant one you can take with you when traveling with your laptop.

    You should try places like Ikea or amazon!! :) They have nice inexpensive laptop desks :)

    They have something like this, or this.

    Or, try your nearby store(s), that way you can get a "feel" for what works for you. Staples, Office Depot, Best Buy, Office Max, Target, Walmart. You can also check these stores online to see what they have!!

    Sometimes you can find exceptional deals out Office Furniture "Outlet" Stores. And, checking your local 2nd Hand Stores, Salvation Army/Goodwill Store..they may even have something "gently used". Sometimes people will drop off new desks/chairs for them to sell at pretty decent prices.

    That one you attached, doesn't look so "comfy", and I wonder how "sturdy" it would be.. ;)

    I recommend the Ikea Flarke. Bought it for $25 and although cheap it is honestly the best bang for the buck desk I have ever owned.

    You might want to take a look at what LapWorks has to offer. Their LapWorks Wizard notebook stand is pretty good. It's fully adjustable to make it comfortable to use your laptop in any position.

    If you are looking for something more for your lap, check out the LapLogic W800 Aerogel Extreme notebook cooler/desk. This product uses space-age materials to keep your laptop cooled passively, while keeping your lap from getting toasty. It's a great product and I use it all the time.

    You can read a review of it here:
