Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I would give this product more than 5 stars if I could. This portable desk was exactly what I was searching for. I had very specific criteria, I have a 17" gaming laptop that can run a bit hot, but I'm never home & would constantly suffer back pain leaning over to deal with the laptop that was resting on my lap, overheating me. The table itself is metal with cut outs for the fan. The metal alone keeps the laptop cool, the fan is just a wonderful bonus, with the added bonus of cooling my legs under it as well! The fan is quiet and powerful. The adjustable legs are easy to operate and have 15 degree increments on them so you can make sure both sides match one another. The legs are also metal, the buttons you push to tilt the legs are plastic. The only issue would be if my nails were longer, since the button has to be depressed pretty far(I see it as a safety feature, like child-proof bottles). The fan on the bottom is connected to your computer by a detachable cord(usb) and has a power button conveniently located so it doesn't always run, even if it is always plugged in. Honestly one of my favorite things about the lap desk is that when compared to other lap desks this one combines quality with value. I was comparing lap desks for my laptop for about three months and found lots of plastic and beanbag like pillow things, all for much more money than I thought was reasonable, even if they were slightly cheaper than this one. Every desk I saw that was wood or metal or made to hold larger laptops or had a designated spot for the mouse or had a fan was well over $100. And then this one came along. I almost didn't order it because the price was only about 15% higher than the cheap options that looked and sounded so disappointing. At double the price it would still be a good deal.
