    I've been looking into getting a portable laptop desk, but I wanted to ask if any had any suggestions on one ? I've saw some at Wallys Mart ( Wal-Mart) but if there is anything better out there I'd like to know about it. Also I'd prefer if it was a fair size desk for example if they mention it fits a 17" there is an additional 5" in diameter around more space.

    You may want to check out the following thread here at NBR as it offers a pretty good idea of what's available:

    Laptop Desk Without Fan

    Personally, I encourage you to check out the LapLogic products, specifically their AeroGel line of laptop desks. They perform beautifully and are very nice.

    Like the lap desks you see at Best Buy or a foldable desk for travel?

    Oxy - Yeah those ones you see at bestbuy, similar ones I've saw at Wal-Mart.
    I want an actual table that I can place it on, not on my lap. I'll look up the Laplogic products.

    Hrm. Well, in that case, take a look at the LapWorks Futura then. =)

    I checked out Laplogic products, they don't sell any tables from what I can see. I want a table that I can sit at, not on my lap I'll loose all blood circulation with the weight of my laptop, possible even loose my legs altogether :)

    I'm a peaceful dragon :)
    Cin - That second link you posted of a desk, is not that bad. I'm just going to look for a simple little table, nothing specific for a laptop. That will probably suit me just fine. Thank you everyone for your help :)

    You seem like a peaceful Dragon! ;)

    Glad the links were able to help *somewhat*

    You may want to check your local Target`for something, they have nice little *tables* at decent prices. :)

    Rouge, that table is not bad but something I typically see in the retail chains. RedDragon, I have checked out those two stores, although I'm going to have to look again because my memory is foggy on what they have again. Where did you live in Canada ? And is that your wife and car within each of your messages ?

    No, I'm not a sign maker but I'm just suggesting if you needed anything done I could do it and depending on how much your budget for your business is. I'm just throwing it out there !
