    5 of 5 2nd Review Friday, May 01, 2009
    GB from Vermont  
    I wrote previously to say that this lap desk stand was good for reading books, but perhaps not so sturdy for laptop use. I'd like to amend this opinion to say that the stand has worked great folded in half to prop up my 15" notebook. Also, since I just purchased a 9" mini-notebook from Buy.com, I anticipate that the stand will work very well for it, especially when traveling. At the lower price it is well worth the money.

    5 of 5 Unit used for support on the desk. Saturday, April 18, 2009
    Jerry L. from Camarillo, Ca  
    I bought 2 units. One is for a 14" ,the other one for 17" laptops. It is worth the expense. Easy to set up and provides good cooling when elevated. Computer support is good in both cases.

    5 of 5 Inexpensive laptop computer stand Saturday, April 18, 2009
    Jerry L. from Camarillo, Ca  
    This stand is small an collapsible with adjustible incline. This allows for efficient cooling. Very easy to use. I am using it to support a 17", heavy laptop - no problems.

    5 of 5 Works Like A Champ Monday, April 13, 2009
    John from Saint Charles, MO  
    Very versatile and a good value too. I bought 3 of them. Two for mostly stationary laptops on desks that are now slightly raised. The last one is for moving around and watching TV.

    5 of 5 Great product. and excelent value Saturday, April 11, 2009
    Diane from Salem, New Hampshire  
    I found this product at WalMart for more than $20 the exact product. Yes this can be used for a lap top as small at 12" and even smaller or for one as large as my 17" lap top. I love it and it keeps my lap top very cool with the fans that spin. I chose the cheaper of the delivery charge and received my products within a week of ordering it; I will buy more from this company...way to go for the consumer in todays ecomony clinch... love the prices

    5 of 5 Worth the price for $10 bucks Saturday, April 11, 2009
    NeoChase from Slidell LA  
    This is a good cooler for the price. It can be used as flat (as pictured) or folded like "<" sign. Folded way gives you more airflow and keeps the laptop cooler. Remember, there are no fans on this one. So its not gonna eat up your battery. But for those who need extra cooling, I recommend a cooler with 3 fans.

    4 of 5 Good product Wednesday, April 08, 2009
    A Customer from Norristown PA  
    I got this few days back and it is convenient. It hold s up to 16" laptop also (little bit small but still manageable) . Very easy to use and light weight and can be carried easily in laptop bag. The product I got is little bit different from the figure shown .Overall it is good, easily goes on lap and no more laptop heating problem.

    5 of 5 So handy Wednesday, April 08, 2009
    Linda from Massena IA  
    This product places your laptop at a convenient height for the task you need it at. It also prevents the heat factor when using it in your tap.

    Albert Braswell from Cairo, GA  
    This laptop tray is flimsy as suggested, but does the job. I really like it, some people just like to complain. Get real, you didn't pay alot for it. I bought one for me and liked it so I bought 2 more for my daughters.

    4 of 5 good value for money Wednesday, April 08, 2009
    A Customer from Woburn, MA  
    although it doesn't have the fan like other cooling pads. this pad elevates the laptop so that it can breathe easily. since its foldable, its easy to carry with your laptop. can even hold mini mouse if pad is extended. overall good value for money.

    5 of 5 Perfect for travel Wednesday, April 08, 2009
    A Customer from Indiana  
    I was always uncomfortable traveling with my laptop. Never able to find a position that worked. There is enough room to use a mouse. I have a 15" laptop and works well with it. This portable desk is perfect and folds to small and compact size that fits into my laptop bag.

    A Customer from norristown pa  
    I got this last week only and it is very comfortable, easy to carry, easily goes into laptop bag. It holds even 16" laptop(little bit small but still manageable). Can be easily held on lap for long time without any problem.

    5 of 5 Great investment Monday, March 30, 2009
    David from Pittsburgh, PA  
    This portable lapdesk stand is great if you're tired of having a hot laptop sit in your lap, or if you'd like to give your over-worked wrists a break. It folds out to cover your lap [mouse space available], or in it's half-state, you can adjust the elevation to allow your hands a more comfortable typing position. Plus, when folded, it stores easily in a laptop bag. An excellent value if you own a laptop that's less than 16".

    3 of 5 Not as I expected it to be Monday, March 23, 2009
    A Customer from Parlin, NJ  
    It is a lightweight plastic which has advantages as well as disadvantages. My 17" laptop does not fit properly but it is ok for 15" laptops.

    5 of 5 Lightweight but not flimsy Monday, March 23, 2009
    Jim from Penn Valley, CA  
    Very light yet rigid construction provides a decent, ventilated platform for laptop plus left or right mouse. Thin enough when folded to easily store in laptop bag. Bought two with no regrets.

    5 of 5 very useful Monday, March 23, 2009
    A Customer from West Covina, CA  
    It works very well for me. I use this anywhere in my house, when I'm in the kitchen or bed. I like the little mouse pad on the side. It's a simple product and very useful.

    5 of 5 Great Value & Product Monday, March 23, 2009
    A Customer from Sterling Heights, Michigan  
    Given it's light weight/portability it is plastic but non slip grip, opens quite wide and folds for elevation. I love it for elevating my 17" Toshiba on a table. As a lap table, unsupported by anything else, it does seem that I'm stressing the unit but computer cooling is much improved. The weight of the 17" may forfeit some product longevity. I have a Dell Mini 9 that I use it with as well and two kids that use it with 10" MSI Winds and they love it too. I happened to purchase on sale at $5 or $6 with a limit of five. I took the limit gladly. Really a great buy even at $10-12, over that I'd prefer to move to something aluminum or some other metal, maybe a hybrid of plastic & metal.

    5 of 5 portable lapdesk Monday, March 23, 2009
    Mary from Lebanon Indiana  
    Makes it easy to work at home and still relax, alway be careful of carrying the unit on the stand, best to leave on the chair/couch to be sure not to spill, but great stand to hold unit and use usb mouse

    5 of 5 BETTER THAN THE REST!!! Sunday, March 22, 2009
    dalamo from San Antonio, Texas  
    This simply designed laptop stand is far superior in cooling capacity, portability, and gripping ability than any of the three previous devices I've owned. All of the others coolers had either one, two, or even three cooling fans! This stand, when used in it's elevated configuration, allows more airflow than any of the motorized fan coolers. Although simple in appearance, this stand must have been developed using some very complex engineering principles. I like it so much, I've ordered a second one to have as a backup.

    5 of 5 Targus laptop Sunday, March 22, 2009
    Dan O'Connor from Springfield PA  
    Good deal at buy.com. Item is compact and fits nicely in the laptop case. Works well if working with laptop on your lap. Made of lightweight plastic, so I'm cautious when moving the laptop that I support both it and the desk stand.

    5 of 5 great value for $9 or $10! Sunday, March 22, 2009
    Gregg from Waukesha, WI  
    I bought this with the intention of using it on my lap, but the feature that is particularly nice is that it also can be configured to tilt your laptop for use on a table (better access to the keyboard). It's a great value for $9 or $10.

    5 of 5 Simplicity fits use Sunday, March 22, 2009
    Denise from Brooklyn, NY  
    This basically is a piece of plastice that allows for your computer to prooperly ventilate when you have your laptop on your lap. There's nothing fancy about it, but it works well for me. There's also a place for a small mousepad.

    Taya from ECNC  
    I have a 17' dell that fits perfect. I am even able to turn it around and it works great in bed. Also, I was glad for the great under ten dollar deal, I'm sure I would have paid much more at a wholesale store.

    5 of 5 Good for netbooks, too small for laptops Saturday, March 14, 2009
    A Customer from Flushing, NY   
    I own a Samsung NC10 netbook and the targus lapdesk fits perfectly for this and is not too heavy on my lap. Using my 15' Vaio, it protrudes out and looks like its about to fall off. If you turn it horizontally, there really isn't any purposes since its just like a mat so the best reason to get this is for a small laptop or a netbook.

    Lilly from Phoenix AZ  
    I bought when was on sale to use with my msi wind 10" mini laptop and work OK, if you are planning to use this with a full size laptop I don't recommend since is made of plastic, overall I am satisfied with the product because I bought this thinking on my msi mini laptop =]
