An Inexpensive Laptop Workstation

Sometimes I don't feel like sitting in what I call, 'my computer room', while I'm online.Many times I like to be in the livingroom area while I'm surfing the Internet.I have a sofa-table, desk-like, setup in there, but after a while I want to relax on my cushy furniture while I'm using the laptop.Never having a decent laptop desk, (that actually fit over my lap), I used pillows to prop the computer up.However, today I ran across the "My Place" Laptop Workstation" at my local drug store!This was just what I've been looking for!

I took it out of the box and went about setting it up.It's made from heavy black plastic, so it's pretty stable yet lightweight.There is nothing to assemble, which is a good thing since there aren't any directions in the box.By fiddling with the workstation I found that the legs fold out to two different positions, although one of the positions seems too high to use over a lap!It has a mouse pad builtinto the desk on the right side, so if you're left-handed this could be a problem.You can angle the position of your laptop for comfort, by adjusting the bracket under where the laptop sits.Another feature is a small integrated LED light powered by 3 AAA batteries.The light it puts out is very weak though, and the adjustable arm it's attached to seems a little noodle-y.It doesn't hold it's *bend*.On further inspection, I noticed that the mouse pad panel had hinges, so I lifted it and found a small storage place for pens, clips, or maybe even the mouse itself!So other than the useless attached light, I was pleased with this inexpensive desk!

No more propping the laptop on my throw pillows!I even use it on top of my make-shift-sofa-table desk!It lets me adjust the laptop so the monitor is more eye level.This little workstation fits my needs for those times I want to surf the Internet from my couch.Just add an ottoman...
