It helps have circulating air on the laptop (and not hot on your legs)but it also lifts up to a more comfortable writing height in your lap. For when it's on the table I use a fan thingy that's slimmer. It keeps the computer cooler (plugs into the usb) and helps keep it from overheating and crapping out. Just FYI.Good Luck. I look forward to seeing your desk solution. I have to keep all my important files in my laptop bag as I go between 4 locations and have to have the info where ever I am. Oh! And I have a backup portable HD that I keep at home. So that if something happens to the laptop I haven't lost it all. (well worth the money to not lose all the photos!) -Liz After you get a lappy (aka laptop) I LOVE my Belkin lap desk.

My father just got a mini laptop and it's broken already and our desktop is a pain. We bought wireless and put it into the house and our 2 laptops can go anywhere. I highly recommend a Mac but that's just me. I use to be a mac person but I am again now. You can run Vista on mac too so if you have programs only available on a "PC" they now make it possible on macs. Give me a call and I can shop with you. We got ours at Best Buy... I also have an iphone but :) ... I'm a little bias huh. L Hey girl – Yeah – all I’ll say is that I just bought a macbook and LOVE LOVE LOVE it.

Another thing that would come in handy and add a little spice would be a few tiles of cork board and a memo holder. I know you can buy 12x12 tiles of cork at Walmart for just a few dollars and you could make your own memo board to a few bucks. Hope that helped a bit. I have a Dell Studio 17 Laptop that I paid way too much for, but I absolutely love it. I consider it one of my best purchases. I had always used a desktop, so I was a bit hesitant to switch, but I will NEVER go back.

Thanks to my wireless internet I can go outside and blog and because uverse has an agreement with Starbucks I can have internet access for up to 2 hours a day at any Starbucks. It makes life a lot easier. Dian www.GroceryShopForFREE.com I just recently got a laptop and it has really changed a lot.
