Customer Review: Perfect for bed, couch or chair
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought one of these because I wanted something more stable than a stack of magazines to put on my lap when I was sitting in the living room. After a week i had to buy a second one because my wife stole the first. Now we are up to 4 - one per person in the family. I am typing this with my computer on one right now.
I use mine upside down - 15 inch MBP on the 17 inch side - because it protects any USB devices plugged into the sides. Besides the protection, I like the angle better. And the seam on the 17 inch side caches my laptop just enough to hold it in place even when I am tilting it a lot.
This is by far the best lap desk/cooling pad I have ever used. The fabric is comfortable on your skin and I have had no issues with overheating. It is firm, stable and light. I dont use the middle to store things but I do put my iphone in there when I am charging/syncing. My only "gripe" is that it doesnt travel well but Belkin doesnt say it does either.
Customer Review: So great I bought 2 of them

I originally purchased this item for my mom as a stocking stuffer this past Christmas.. She was always complaining that her laptop made her lap hot. I had worried about her laptop over heating so I thought this would be a cool thing to try.. She loves hers. I had used it a couple of times while working on her laptop and I found it very comfortable to work on so much so I ended up buying another for my laptop.
I recently went back to school and found that I was spending my days sitting at a desk looking at a computer at working and then spending my evenings doing the same for school.. I needed something that I could use that would be comfortable if I choose to do homework while sitting on my bed or sofa without worrying that the machine would suffocate if i sit it down.. This wedge works great. I have not found that my laptop gets any hotter then if it was sitting on my desk when I am working or watching movies.. I highly recommend this item for us sofa surfers!
Customer Review: Exactly what I wanted

I use my laptop early in the morning in bed and prefer not having the heat of the notebook directly in my lap. This stand does just that...no it's not a "cooler" but the flat surface allows air in if your notebook still has the pads underneath. Ergonomically it is very comfortable. I have had no wrist or arm discomfort using it.
Additionally, having the open center, I am able to pick up the pad and the laptop without putting strain on the notebook itself/or the monitor. The fabric surface keeps the notebook in place (no sliding), so I can get up and move around frequently.
Finally, it takes some of the stress off my power cord, as when the notebook is just on my lap, the tension on the cord/notebook outlet was sometimes a problem.
Overall, I got exactly what I paid for and what I was looking for. I am very pleased and would recommend the product. (Oh, and I got it at Target for 19.99).
Customer Review: Tremendous Buy

I can't say enough for this laptop desk. I paid $15(everyday price) for it at Target. It is available only in brown in their stores. I use it with my 10 inch HP notebook and I find it very comfortable. If used with a 15 or 17 inch laptop there doesn't appear to be enough room for a mouse. There is however adequate room for a mouse and my 10 inch notebook. The distance between the bottom of the notebook and desk is the same as it is when sitting on any other surface. The thickness of the rubber feet (approximately 3/8" ) on the bottom of the notebook determines the clearance. I doubt whether Belkin's claim of extra cooling has any merit. I have noticed no overheating of my notebook. The huge storage space in the middle of the desk is very handy. I store my power supply, cords, mouse and notes in there. If one intends to use this laptop desk with a 10 inch notebook I would highly reccommend it.Customer Review: Perfect. Exactly what I needed.

I saw some good reviews on this and decided to take a chance. I like Belkin products generally, and I'm so happy with this stand. It's a bit much to call it "cush top" because it's not at all cushy; it's firm. Bought this to replace my old bead-filled wooden-top lap desk because I could never get a good angle on my keyboard when using it. The angle on this stand is perfect for typing and I love that I can slip the power cord through the opening so I'm not wrestling with it all the time.
This thing is a perfect size for my 16" laptop screen (I use the big side) and doesn't get hot with the laptop on it. Very comfortable to have in your lap for extended periods of time. Almost wish I had another lappy so I could buy another one! Highly recommended.
