This is a very nice product… but it smells like a new car. If you are sensitive, please take this into account. I had to return mine because the scent was too strong for me.

The lapdesk by Logitech works great on the table or on the couch. I ordered one for myself and as soon as I got it and we both saw how nice it was ordered a second for my wife.

I am using the Logitech Lapdesk with a 2008 15″ Macbook Pro. It’s pretty, it does keep the hot laptop off of your legs, and it is very light weight and comfortable to use. It’s just not that functional.
It has slightly too much angle. Sitting in a chair with your feet on the floor the angle is acceptable. Except I use it mainly sitting in a recliner or in bed and while the angle is fine for typing, due to the glossy surface the laptop slides. This is with a perfectly clean surface. Right out of the wrapping the computer slid.
Playing with the positioning you can find a fine line between the keyboard angle and preventing sliding. Get the angle slightly off though and you will notice the computer slowly sliding down.
It’s fine on size. You can’t use a mouse with it, but that really isn’t the intention. A 17″ laptop will take up the full surface of the table. It is a bit thick though and I wouldn’t mind if were a bit slimmer to make it easier to type. It is very lightweight, surprisingly so.
This has been the first Logitech product I have been disappointed in. If they reduced the angle, added a texture surface, and maybe make it a bit thinner so typing is easier it would be a better product. At the $40 price tag, I can not recommend this product at all. Even at half that price I am not sure I could recommend it with the glossy surface.

It’s confortable , a bit big for a 15.4″, laptop doesn’t heat, If your laptop is too hot and think you need a cooling fan probably is dirt inside> I had this broblem with a 1 y/o Toshiba, I had it cleaned and worked great, no heat.

I have been using this item for roughly three weeks. I was immediately impressed by how light weight yet how well put together this particular item is. I definitely won’t have to worry about it degrading over time the way my old pellet-filled Computer Lap Desk lap desk did. However, while this unit will definitely last, it has some limitations the other did not.
1) It’s narrower, so not as much room for a mouse in comparison. It’s also more compact and easier to hide somewhere in my house.
2) While the surface keeps the laptop from sliding at all (an excellent feature) that same surface makes it impossible for an infared mouse to work and you’ll need a mouse pad if you prefer to use a mouse with your lap as I do (especially if I am playing a game). Highly recommend those very thin Dell mouse pads they used to (perhaps still do) ship with their computers as a get around as you can slide it under your laptop and use your mouse. While this works out well, its still a get around and I would have preferred perhaps a slightly wider lap desk with a portion set aside for a mouse.
3) While the angle is very ergonomically, if I want to place my Antec USB-Powered Notebook Cooler on it then with the angling, the laptop will slide off as opposed to just using a flat lap desk like the one I mentioned above.
So overall this is an excellent product if you are going to go mouse-free as its light-weight, easy to use however you mgith be sitting, and easy to store. However, if you prefer to use a mouse and/or are a gamer, you might want to perhaps consider a cheaper option like the one above, even though it doesn’t last, but its functional, $20 less, and you can just replace it every couple of years.
