This is one of those spur of the moment purchases that I don't regret too much. Mainly because I really need it unlike other stuff I buy that I don't really need hehe. I just got it for a lot more than what is listed at Targus' website... as expected the Duty Free Shop at Kai Tak Int'l Airport in Hong Kong is not really the best place to buy stuff... Anyway I happened by this not by accident my bro pointed it out.

As the name suggests this is a LapDesk meaning it will help you carry your notebook and mouse on your lap. It also works as a mount for your notebook when you are working on your desk, by tilting your notebook it accomplishes the following: 1 it makes it easier to type, and 2 it promotes ventilation of your notebook.

Tilt Stand mode:
I'll be primarily be using this on my desk at work and at home to tilt my notebook. It get's the job done although there is a very slight shake. I don't think it is entirely the LapDesk's fault as my notebook has a pretty weird bottom... When placed on the rubber stoppers prevent the notebook from sliding. It is a better workspace experience overall. It has 5 tilt angles you can choose from.

LapDesk mode:
In LapDesk mode the mouse area is a bit cramped but this is to be expected [note I have a 15.4 inch Wide Screen Notebook and even less space will be availablet with the 17" notebooks] Of course this solution is ok for short periods of time as the plastic will get warm eventually making it uncomfortable.

  2. Yeah I think Targus was playing safe by coming out with just a single color that's very generic. Although of course this targets business persons and 'road warriors' so I guess it's ok to come out with GRAY... :P
