Improvements on the Lap
Thursday, October 4th, 2007
Laptops are sometimes more convenient than desktop computers, but they can generate a lot of heat. After it sits on a bed, a sofa or a lap for an extended period of time, a notebook computer can become uncomfortably hot, even dangerous.
We use Road Tools Podium Coolpads. Available online or at Apple Stores.

Me, too! Big fan of those Coolpads! :)
Great that they sell them out there Chet. The guy who makes them uses people with cognitive disabilities in a sheltered workshop, giving them work. Besides it being a good product, I want to support someone doing good in the world.
I use it too … and it’s also great for Neo on a lapdesk.

Ah, right Brian. Do you use the smaller traveling one or the bigger one?

I got mine from the distributor in Singapore. Now I see copycat versions in the shops here.
Yes, his design has been copied many times but I try to be loyal to him (the reason for my link under the NY times story) as I like to support his innovation and his “workers.”
I still use and love the one for traveling that you gave me a long time ago, Richard. It’s a simple, excellent product that I use everyday. Nice to learn more about the good people in that company.
