ILap helps!.......2007-06-08

I bought this because I work from home on my iBook and was starting to feel the beginnings of carpal tunnel syndrome. I didn't have a way to hold it in my lap or on the table that was comfortable. I checked into portable desks, etc. and then found the iLap and decided to give it a try. It has been great! I don't have as much pain in my right arm when typing now. The cushion elevates the laptop and gives you wrist support.

No more "Hot Lap"!.......2007-01-10

I have been using my laptop stand by Rain Design for almost 2 months now. I have my laptop computer on a wireless router and enjoy reading my e-mails in the morning while I drink my coffee on the couch. One problem; most of the time I couldn't get through reading my e-mails before my lap got so hot from the computer that I would have to put my computer back on the table to cool off. Not any more; now I can work with my computer on my lap for as long as I want to without any discomfort. I especially like the velour covered pad on the front of the stand. For the purpose that I bought the laptop stand it couldn't have worked out better.

Useful but expensive.......2006-11-05

The most important point of this stand is it will keep a hot iBook off your lap,
that it does very well. But it should be about $20 to get a 5 star rating.
The rubber non-shid feet supplied do a very good job of keepin your iBook
in place but the velcro holding the one pad on seems a design afterthought.
I creeps out of place and requires careful reattachment every couple of weeks.
If you suffer from hot iBook lap this will do the trick but the price will make you
think twice after you see it.

14" iLap - great concept, needs refining.......2006-09-23

I've had this for quite a few months now. In a nutshell, it is an excellent concept, with some design details that could be improved.

Pros:
1. Comfortable on my lap for shorter working periods.

2. Keeps laptop heat off my body.

3. Looks great, I've gotten lots of compliments.

4. Provides improved ergonomics both on my lap and when working on a desk/table. Wrist support cushion is very comfortable.

Cons:
1. Longer working periods on my lap become less comfortable because the surface area of the padding is fairly limited. Wider padding would improve this a lot. The narrow padding ends up digging into my legs after a while. This really becomes problematic after an hour or two for me.

2. Very difficult to transport. It needs detachable parts or some folding mechanism. It is an awkward size and difficult to pack.

3. The larger padded piece at the front of the iLap slips out of its metal casing easily. I find myself adjusting it a lot.

4. Overpriced, and difficult to find a deal.

Overall, it sure beats the heck out of resting my laptop (an iBook G4) directly on my lap, but really needs refining to be worth the pricetag.

I'm very happy with my purchase of the iLap 14 for my Macbook........2006-08-20

I was looking for a product that would allow me to use my 13" Macbook on my lap (the Macbook gets uncomfortably hot after using it alone on my lap for a while). Searching the internet for notebook cooling pads, I found essentially two types of cooling pads- those that require power and cool via small fans... and the iLap. I didn't want to deal with the hassle of plugging my cooling pad into a power source. I liked the iLap for its simple design (less to go wrong) and its elegant looks. After using it for the last couple of monthes, I am very happy with it and would recommend it to anyone who uses a Macbook on their lap.
