I spend a lot of time on my laptop - normally all evening while my hubby watches tv - and during the many hours it's on it can get very hot on your legs! My mum's laptop had recently died due to overheating as she always had it on her lap/a cushion rather than a hard surface, so I thought getting some sort of lap tray would be a good idea. As luck would have it, Argos had the Belkin Cushdesk on offer at only £6-something - so I ended up buying one for myself and one for my mum! We are both really happy with it especially considering the bargain price. The desk itself is approximately 17" wide by 13-14" high, so will comfortably support even the ...  Read the complete review

I'm a bit of an addict when it comes to using my laptop and seem to spend about half my evenings typing away on DooYoo or Facebook... anything to avoid doing my lesson planning! I always start off sat at my dining room table with all my books scattered around me but before long the lure of the television becomes too much to bare and I always end up migrating over to my sofa with my laptop. Now the only downside I've found is that the underside of the laptop can get rather warm which consequently results in my legs becoming rather toasty to say the least. Now normally this isn't a wholly unpleasant feeling but during the summer it resulted in my legs getting quite sweaty .  Read the complete review

When my boyfriend began his PGCE course in September this year, and began his in-school placement, he was given use of a laptop, in order to help with lesson planning, typing up coursework, and keeping organised . It was only a very basic laptop, and it had one problem, common to many laptops - it would overheat at the botto, making it actually quite uncomfortable to use on your lap . We didn't really have any other surface suitable for using it on . It certainly wasn't going on my highly polished coffee table, and the computer desk upstairs was already covered with assorted gubbins . We needed something to place this on to make it comfortable to use, but as ...  Read the complete review

This was one of those products that I was always extremely sceptical about buying because really justify a use for it. Normally I would just sit on a chair and balance the laptop on my legs. Occasionally, it may slip slightly, but a simple re-adjust and everything was ok again. Every so often I might get the 'hot legs' problem where my clothes had blocked the laptop's air vents and the laptop and battery had heated up, but I tended to use this as an excuse to take a break. Then I was at someone's house doing some work with them on the laptop and he pulled out this Belkin CushDesk thing for me to use. I thought ok, I'll give it a try just to appease him, ...  Read the complete review

*Introduction* I have always been a browser of the internet, but even more so since I have been over in Belgium and haven't had my friends and family around me to keep me busy. Unfortunately, the fan on my laptop seems to have aged a little too quickly and it heats up and burns my legs when I have it sat on my lap. So I went into PC World last month in search of a product that could eradicate this problem for me. And the sales assistant showed me this Belkin Laptop CushDesk. I laughed initially as it sounds like an invention someone from the Apprentice or Dragon's Den would come up with but it is actually great. *About the Product* ...  Read the complete review
