Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is the third, exactly identical lapdesk I purchased (had to let go of the first two while moving), and it's way cheaper than the previous ones made by different brands. While it is correct that these things are not very sturdy and stable, the identical, three-adjustable-jointed ones on the market, regardless of the brand, have exactly the same level of sturdiness/stability in my experience. So while I definitely can understand people complaining about a) having to remove your laptop and use two hands while adjusting b) the thing always being slightly wobbly, After intensive research, I did not find any alternatives that are either made of stronger material, or that are easier to adjust, while offering everything this model offers. Using this particular model of lapdesks has the advantage of versatility, and if that's your priority, you'll have to accept them for what they are. You can place them on the desk to hold books open and reading without hurting your neck, use it on the floor with your legs under, or use it as a stand next to your desk if you rarely need your computer while studying and want to save desk space. And wobbliness or no, I have never experienced any accidents (joints giving way and my laptop dropping etc) with these stands, during 5 years I used them. To repeat myself, as these particular model of lapdesks are the most versatile ones in the market, and this particular product is as cheap as it'll ever get, I'd still recommend it without qualms. PS: The fans work just fine, though if I really needed cooling, I'd definitely go for a more powerful alternative.
