Laptop tested: MacBook Pro unibody 17" (early 2009 model).
Normally I'm not a fan of lapdesks. Most of the time they look ghastly, take up way too much room, and have those annoying "peas" in the material that rests on your legs. At first, they're fine, until you wiggle around a bit, the peas get pushed off to the side, and your legs end up against the faux wood. Not fun.
Enter Logitech's Comfort Lapdesk. I was given this as a gift, so I figured it wouldn't hurt to give the lapdesk one last try. The results? Awesome. I love it. And I'm surprised I do.
Why am I so surprised?
1.) It's comfortable on your lap, even lying in bed.
2.) The underside is made of an airy mesh, so it never warms up at all, but remains quite firm on your legs. Not too firm, as I sit in my shorts writing this in bed. Very cushy but sturdy.
3.) It's very light, so the added weight of the lapdesk with my laptop on it is not intrusive.
4.) It tilts forward a little so that it's at a "perfect" angle to type on.
5.) It does actually stand up by itself on its edge, so you can stick it next to your bed without having it slide over and disappear under the bed/sofa etc. Very convenient!
My laptop isn't running too hot sitting on it, and I can't comment on the number of layers Logitech says the top part features, but supposedly it's a 4-layer, heat-shielding design. I can say my laptop isn't running too warm, and while the top of the lapdesk is a little warm, it's nothing unusual.
So, are there any complaints? Well, my only concern with the desk is that it IS white, and the top part FEELS like if you slam it around at all, it will likely pick up a myriad of scratches. Mine came with a few out of the box, though I'm sure it wouldn't have taken me long to do it myself. If Logitech had gone the whole hog and made the top part aluminum, boy would this thing be killer...
Just bear in mind, with my 15.4" MacBook Pro, there's no room for a mouse on the side, though I prefer this, as it means the actual lapdesk is smaller and easier to handle. This lapdesk is designed for 15.4" laptops, though it can handle smaller systems of course. I think a 17" MacBook Pro "might" be pushing it. (EDIT: works just fine with a 17"!)
As it is, it serves its purpose very well, and is without doubt the most comfortable lapdesk I've ever used. I was more concerned with how usable the base is on my legs rather than how astonishingly it removes heat. It does the former excellently, and the latter quite well.
Great job, Logitech.
4.5/5
**EDIT June 17, 2009**
I can report I'm having no trouble with my new 17" unibody MacBook Pro on this lapdesk. I love it! :-)
Some people have reported their laptops slipping of this lapdesk. I've had no such issue with either of my unibody MacBook Pros.
**EDIT August 18, 2010**
Still loving this lapdesk, and it hasn't bowed or shown any noticeable additional wear and tear. Still 100% worth the money! |
comfortable lapdesk of Logitech (high) quality | | Review Date: June 26, 2009 | | Reviewer: fatmav, | Having used this lapdesk for a week, I find that this is a recommendable product even though I believe the msrp is a bit on the high side. Let us evaluate the features as claimed by Logitech's marketing literature:
1. Helps protect your body from notebook heat: I totally agree with this.
2. Positions your notebook to improve comfort: This lapdesk introduce a difference of merely 12 degrees and the truth is I could not feel any significant improvement after a week. I was using a light-weight cutting board before, and the 12 degree difference only means I tilt my screen differently.
3. Use your notebook on your sofa, bed, or floor: The claim here is it helps provide a stable platform over your legs. Compared to my board solution, I have to agree that this Logitech lapdesk is more stable. Why? The board is rigid and thus it is very unforgiving in its movemnet. This one has cushion underneath which dampens the movement.
4. Feels comfortable on your legs: The air-mesh material underneath this lapdesk is indeed quite comfortable even on bare skin. However, I would say I still feel the hot spots. (It's MUCH better than direct contact with the laptop though.) I must also note that this mesh is non-removable. I wish the cushion is only velcro'ed onto the lapdesk and is removable for washing.
5. Thin, streamlined profile: I am not sure it is "thin" at about 3 inch at the thickest part. However, the current design, as another reviewer has noted, is in fact very effective---this lapdesk stands on its own when placed on the side. It is indeed very convenient and I keep it right next to my reading/laptop lounger.
As you can see, this Logitech scores very well with me on its features. I must add that these features are all delivered on one nicely manufactured piece of furniture. The fabric seams are tight and there is no loose threads hanging around. The plastic used for the laptop surface seems durable and is well-grinded on the side to make sure there is no hard edges at all. I would say that the quality demonstrated by this product can easily justify its premium price, even though I also admit that I would hesitate to buy it if I were to see it at a retail store. The bottomline is: I am recommending it to my friends whoever come over to visit.
P.S. I must also note that unlike some reviewers, I do not find the laptop surface to be slippery at all. I tested this on a 12in thinkpad, a 14in thinkpad, and a 13in sony vaio. Maybe their laptop's "legs" are missing or getting dirty? |
Works great for Macbook Pro 17. | | Review Date: March 28, 2009 | | Reviewer: Scott, Henderson, NV United States | After just a few days of using the Logitech Lapdesk, we love it, and just ordered a second one. The Macbook Pro 17 fits on it perfectly, as if it was made specifically for it, and while my girlfriend uses a much smaller laptop she is equally happy with it.
It seems to work best when sitting normally, and is comfortable even on bare leg. Because of the "lip" bends away from the board's surface, it even works passably while sitting "indian style," and works surprisingly well when not on your lap at all! As I write this, I have the lapdesk and laptop next to me on the couch.
I haven't noticed any scratches on the smooth whiteboard-like surface, but it does seem to be an electrostatic magnet for lint and dust, which fortunately wipes away easily. The surface doesn't feel tacky, but holds the laptop well in normal use. The laptop will slide if you increase the angle too much beyond normal, but it hasn't been an issue.
Not only is it useful, but it's stylish. I haven't used any competing lapdesks to compare, but I would buy this again. |
Wonderful Product! A little pricey though. | | Review Date: July 4, 2009 | | Reviewer: Lance Tullis, Kansas | | I have a "desktop replacement" laptop with high powered graphics and a 7200rpm hard drive on the bottom so this thing is a MUST for deflecting the heat! It has a hard top that keeps my laptop from sliding around and it's wide enough for my widescreen 17". Nothing else that I looked at came even close to the quality on this thing. :D |
TOPS!! | | Review Date: January 30, 2010 | | Reviewer: Nadine M. Bass, Sierraville,, Ca. United States | I do not comment on an item unless I really like or hate it.
After much research/reading reviews I decided to go ahead and order since if I really didn't like it I could return it. My biggest concern was the comment of many reviewers who stated their laptops would slide off this laptop desk. That certainly has NOT been my experience. My laptop feels very secure and does not slip or rock, even if it is at sitting on an angle. I have a 17" Dell XPS which is heavy gaming type of laptop, weighing in at 8-9 pounds. My Dell does have 4 small rubber feet on the bottom which I am sure contributes to this secureness. This desk is also very comfortable on my legs as compared to the hard plastic type I had before. My red and gray Dell really looks nice setting on this desk, displays it very well. It provides safety, comfort, functionality and appearance, in my opinion, covers all the important areas. |
