Overall, interesting status symbol toy, but I don’t think I’ll be abandoning my wallet and “traditional” cards anytime soon.
Now, I needed to be able to post my “notebook” series while I was in Vegas, and I did that by bringing my Dell Latitude D610, which is one of the best Dell notebooks I’ve ever used. It’s powerful enough to fire up Photoshop and light enough to carry on my arm across the airport terminal when the connecting flight from Boston to New York is an
hour late and we’re running to catch the boarding Vegas flight, which we barely made — and our luggage didn’t until the next day, thank you, Jet Blue.
But the laptop isn’t what I’m here to discuss, nor is the worthless 40-minute flight from Boston to New York that took three hours to accomplish.
LapWorks, with the slogan: “When it comes to mobile computing...we've got your lap,” has a few products out there that will make your life easier if you’re a traveler like me who needs his or her laptop in inconvenient places like an airplane or hotel bed.
The company’s public relations efforts are headed by Michelle Moody of Moody & Associates, and she’s been able to generate considerable play for the Laptop Desk product line, including an article in USA Today and a top 10 holiday list on ZDNet a while back.
The product is almost too simple, when you think about it. It’s just two pieces of strong molded plastic that can either hinge on top of each other to boost the laptop to a better angle or fold out flat, creating a comfortable mouse surface. It folds up to about 1.4" thick and fits perfectly in my laptop bag, adding almost no additional weight.
I tested the “ultralight” model on Vegas and tested out the 2.0 model since. I used the products and I’m happy with the products. Good job, LapWorks on creating a buzz for your product which fixes a common inconvenience for laptop users.
