Computer Lap Desks Are a Good Idea

We were at Office Depot the other day for home office floor lamps (by the way- they don't carry them) and I saw a display for Computer Lap Desks.  Each one was $19.99.  I sit in the evenings on the couch a lot with my laptop, so I decided to buy one and see if I liked it.

And I do.  It is wonderful if you find yourself sitting, banging away on your laptop, on the couch.  The one pictured is the e-pad Travel Laptop Desk By Brookstone, for $29.95 (there was no picture of mine available on the Office Depot site).

In fairness to my readers: my husband did NOT prefer to use the Lap Desk,

He does, however, have a much bigger laptop than I do.

In Googling 'Computer Lap Desks' I realized that most of the soft bottom, hard top ones,

like I bought, 

are designed for small laptops (I own an Apple MacBook)

and the smaller 'netbooks'.

My husband has the 'big-corporate-like' laptop,

so the above may explain why he just preferred 

to have his laptop on his lap.

So, if you're like me,

and own a smaller (newer) laptop,

and want a more comfortable way to do things on your laptop,

while sitting on the couch,

you may want to look into one.

Like I mentioned above-

mine was $19.99,

and for that price-

you can't go wrong.

Let me know if you have a computer lap desk that you like... or dislike!

Thanks, and

Happy HouseHolds!
