    I have a really old beanbag lap desk, REALLY OLD!!(from the 1950s) Its perfect to use when your legs are angled at any sort of angle because you can just shift the beanbags around.

    DO NOT BUY THESE! I bought one for 50 bucks and it is so flimsy and crappy, and doesnt vent, and the mouse pad had edges that are pointless and freakin hurt! gah waste o money. ur better off making one from some wood board and attach a rubber top side so u dont have slip, then put some soft cushy material on the bottem.

    I find Levenger has the most well built looking lap desks out there. The design and materials look very top notch. Though some cost a pretty penny, others are reasonably priced.

    I find that kind of design is a lot better than the really tall ball-y design that Brookstone has.

    laptops placed in tables mainly for safety purpose.. Lot of tables are available for laptops. while using laptops continuously it produces more heat. So when placing in tables we may insert a Collerpad to reduce the heat. This reduces some of risks as hanging.
    Laptop tables are portable one. Hence we may carry to any place along with our laptops.
