LAPGEAR Ergo Pro Lap Desk with 20 Adjustable Angles, Mouse Pad, and Phone Holder - Black - Fits up to 15.6 Inch Laptops and Most Tablets - Style No. 49408

This is pretty amazing.I'd tried a couple of these portable desks. One was a narrower lap desk, with a cushion in front of my laptop, one was about this size, but with folding legs.This one blows the others out of the water.If you care about looks, this is arguably not the nicest, as the top is basically just a slab of plastic with some foldy parts and an integrated foam mousepad, unlike some other offerings with wood or fake wood, faux marble, or some other textured surface. However, this plastic desk is lighter, and I'd say more functional than most wood versions I've seen, as those generally don't come with provisions for adjusting the angle of your laptop.And despite being made out of plastic, this one is surprisingly solid.It also turns out that the "phone" stand or mount is big enough for a smaller tablet, for instance a 7" or 8" Fire Tablet.Me, I currently have an old 7" Fire Tablet sitting in the phone slot, and I'm using the tablet as an extra screen for my laptop.I guess what I'm saying is that, at least for me, this lap desk is in the goldilocks zone; it's not too big, not too narrow, not too flimsy, and not too heavy. It's enough for basically everything I need when I'm working from the couch or a recliner on my porch.I even think that being able the raise up the back of the laptop may help with airflow a little (although I am considering drilling a few holes in the foldy bit, as I think that might let air from the laptop vents pass between the raised part and the rest of the desk, when I've set it at an angle).I also think that the smooth plastic surface is a lot better than some all-fabric lap desks I've seen, which I'm pretty sure will trap hot air a lot more than the plastic plates of this desk.Essentially, it's the best lap desk I've tried, and at about $40 bucks, it's one of the cheaper ones I've considered, making it what I'd consider of excellent value. The only really useful improvement I could suggest to the manufacturer, is to add some vents to the plastic plastic plate that holds up the laptop.

This lap desk is one of my favorite purchases on Amazon. I purchased it during Prime Day. It was labeled as small business, and I did my research to find that this was from a real small business. I don’t like to buy something from a small business that isn’t actually a small business because I find that it’s false advertising of some sort. That being said, I love the quality and build of this lap desk. I’ve been using it for about 2 weeks now and have found it incredibly useful and reliable. It is built well, using what feels to be strong enough materials to support the lap desk in different angles using the two panels on the back. I love how there is two of them, so you can adjust the desk part using a more exaggerated lift and angle or you can use the more subtle panel which is shorter so that the angle isn’t as obvious. I’m not sure if how I wrote that describes it well, but it has multiple viewing angles using those panels and then in the actual base are little slots to stand those panels in, which I have found study and very stable when using it. I’m actually using my iPad with a keyboard on it right now while laying down and it’s serving its purpose quite well.I love the little pull out bar or whatever it is (it says the brand’s name on it, LapGear) that’s toward the bottom end of the desk surface itself and the silicone or rubber material bar along the top so that whatever you’re writing on or typing on doesn’t slip or slide around. The silicone/rubber is helpful when using something that is bigger so that it sticks and stays put, whereas if you’re using a laptop or tablet, the LapGear bar is helpful to stop whatever you’re using from falling off the desk top and into your lap. It’s great if you’re laying down or your body is at an angle that would prop he lap desk itself on an angle. However, depending on your keyboard’s standing height, the LapGear bar might be a tad uncomfortable when typing. I don’t personally have any issue with it, but I know some people might find it irritating and too high itself to allow comfortable typing.There is also a mousepad, which I haven’t yet used, but it feels like fairly good quality, especially for being attached to the lap desk itself. There’s also a slot next to the mouse pad, which is useful for a stylus or pen for notebook or a tablet/laptop pen, along with a slot for your phone above the mousepad, which does lift up to allow access or close so that’s the surface is completely flat across the lap desk.The underside of the lap desk has two cushions, one toward the top and another toward the bottom, with the top one being more cushiony. I think they’re well-padded, but not too much where it feels too stiff or hard and makes it uncomfortable to have on your lap for a longer duration. I think it’s perfect for anyone in school, working from home or just chilling out and getting anything done using this lap desk. It also does have a carrying handle attached to it, which I think is good quality. It doesn’t feel as if the lap desk is so heavy that the handle will rip out of the seams and is comfortable enough to carry if you’re travelling or just moving to another room.Overall, I’m incredibly please with my purchase from the LapGear company and sooo glad that I took the time to find one that seemed a good build and perfect for most settings I’d need to use it. I definitely think based on how much I’ve used it so far in just two weeks that I will be able to use it for quite a long time before needing to buy a new one. Also to note, I rated it 5 stars for sturdiness and ergonomic traits, but for lightweight I gave it 4 stars, because while it isn’t heavy in my opinion, I also don’t think I’d say it is lightweight. Just wanted to explain that as well. I’ll also say to be cautious when you put it down or lean it against something while you’re not using it. As with all things, even of great quality, things can have a longer life with good care of them. I definitely would recommend this to friends who work from home for sure!

I really like this. It holds my laptop at an angle I can easily see while sitting in my recliner with leg rest up. I would give it a 5 star, but the part where you put your mouse is very hard plastic and hurts my lower arm where it rests on the hard plastic edge. I just ordered a wrist rest, so hopefully that will work. Also, the phone holder will not hold my phone with the case on it. The case on my phone is too thick. I have not had any issues with adjusting the angle. It is very easy to do. I would definitely buy again, but the manufacturer might consider adding a soft edge to to the bottom of the mouse pad. Also would be nice to make the phone slot a little wider to accommodate phone cases.

No more leg cramps from sitting in awkward position on the bed with laptop.(and trying to create a good viewing angle with mouse next to you on the bed, sliding sometimes.)This thing is super comfi! Super good. Wished I bought this a long time ago.I am getting so much done - much faster - and without tiring from sitting in same position for hours on a chair behind a desk with gravity being harder on your heart and brain blood flow in that position.Love it.
