Rain Designs iLap is a versatile laptop stand that keeps your laptop cool, and at the same time, lets you work comfortably on your lap as well as on your desk. Made of aluminum with sand-blasted and silver anodized finish to match the Apple Powerbook G4, iLap acts as a cool sink to conduct heat away from your laptop while airflow underneath dissipates the heat, so your laptop stays cooler and lasts longer. iLap also keeps you cool by lifting the heated bottom of your laptop off your lap and is padded with cushions for extra comfort. For better ergonomics, iLap raises the screen and tilts your keyboard to a more comfortable angle, so there is less strain on your neck, shoulders, and wrists. Winner of Laptop Magazine Editors Choice Award, 'This is the most versatile laptop stand you can buy.' iLap comes in five sizes: 12-inch, 14-inch, 15-inch, 15-inch widescreen, and 17-inch widescreen for Apple and PC laptops.

I LOVE IT!

I have tried many different ways of working with my laptop on my lap. As anyone who has done this knows, these buggers can get very warm! This is uncomfortable for the user and extremely bad for your laptop. (I learned this the hard way!) I had finally found an excellent, amazingly inexpensive, little rubber thing that held the computer at an angle to allow it to breath. So I got one of those padded lap desks and with the little rubber thing I was doing fine. Then my wonderful husband got me a 17" Wide screen laptop for Christmas. (my other one was a 14" regular screen) Well, that pretty much shot the little rubber thing out the water. It simply was not up to the task of a laptop that size.

I did some research, and everything pointed to either this one or the Lapinator. This one sounded a little better to me so I gave it a try. It works excellently! My laptop barely gets warm let alone my lap! It is very comfortable and as you need to shift for you own comfort, the swiveling back brace makes it easy to shift the laptop with you.

I originally purchased the 17" iLap from Amazon, but I didn't realize that the one they sell is for the Mac laptop, I have a PC laptop, which is a bit larger than the Mac. So I had to return it and purchase the larger one. It's only 1" larger in both length and width but it makes all the difference. I highly recommend this laptop stand!

Better than I expected!

I have only been using this laptop stand for about an hour, but so far it has exceeded my expectations. It has made using my laptop while sitting on my bed so much easier. My laptop would get to hot that it would literally feel like it was burning my legs and I would have to keep shifting to get comfortable, so this product has been a lifesaver. I have a 17' computer and it fits like a glove.

Not quite perfect

I only have two problems with this product.
First, the round cushion does not stay in place as well as it should. I often have to readjust it.
Second, and more importantly, the round cushion is not long enough to cover rounded but still fairly sharp metal corners of the base. Because of this, one does run the risk of getting poked, scraped or cut on one or both thighs. Not a real problem with jeans, but thinner fabrics don't shield as well.

Other than those two things, this is a very good product and does what was intended.

performance

The Ilap 17 W is sturdy and the aluminum base makes an excellent heat dissipation sink. I use it in my MacBook Pro 17 inches which after prolong use gives off a lot of heat! I wish however if the height of the furthest end could have been adjusted so that the the user need not have to bend over.

Nice product for using a laptop on your lap

I use this when I use the laptop on my lap. It is pretty good; it's better than having a hot laptop on my lap, burning my legs. It seems to keep the computer cooler, but not a whole lot. Also this particular model fits my 17" screen laptop perfectly.

The main thing I don't like is that the front bumper has a tendency to come off if I take a deep breath or move a little. There should be a way to clamp it on or velcro it to the stand. Also there is no good way to carry the stand with the laptop still on it, when I get up from my chair. It's a little awkward carrying both pieces together.

But it serves it's purpose well, it is much more comfortable with this on my lap than the laptop by itself. Plus it makes the laptop easier to type on. It's a fine product, I recommend it.
