Handy addition to a laptop

Post by charlese »

Just saw there are laptop computers' support tables that help cool the laptop computer.

I was always worried about the build up of heat while my laptop was used for any length of time. Bought a fan support table that is powered by a USB port. works real good!

Bought mine in a office supply store for $27. They are a little less on the Internet. It fits on my lap real good.

Local Office Max has an after Christmas sale on them for 9.99 with the purchase of a rheem of paper.. Otherwise 12.99.

Too bad the laptop computer design has to have assistance to keep cool!

Now if you really want a first class top notch way to enjoy your favorite chair and your laptop all at the same time, you need one of these. We have two in our living room and love them. http://www.airdesks.com/

Of course isn't that what all senior citizens do:D Friends and family got a kick out of us sending house listing links across the room when we were looking for our new home. Truth be known we had a wooden one that fell over if looked at. I found the first one of these online and my bride took one look at it upon arrival and said something like, "So where's mine." fjimp

I am on my second one. The first one still works but the plastic broke. I want to take the fans out of it and make one out of wood. Would want to use light wood so it would not be too heavy. That has been on my TO-DO list for a while.:(
