Laptops have gone from a high-end, corporate product to something that is nearly as common as an iPod. This is in large part thanks to the advent of wireless technology, which allows people to use their laptops, literally, almost anywhere.
Lapworks bills itself as a developer and seller of “affordable, ergonomic portable computer lap desks and desktop stands that take the hassle and hazard out of working with your notebook computer.”
This statement is no exaggeration, according to Jose Calero, founder and president of Lapworks. In fact, a big part of Lapworks’ mission â€" along with product sales â€" is to stress (no pun intended) the importance of ergonomics to their customers.
Calero expressed frustration that currently, many laptop manufacturers have been slow to get on the ergonomics bandwagon, even as laptops get thinner â€" and run hotter. “The MacBook Air â€" you can fry eggs on that thing! Apple has even put a warning out saying don’t work with this on your lap. But Apple doesn’t offer a lap desk on their site, so that creates an opportunity for us.”
One of the ways in which Lapworks has taken advantage of this opportunity is with Futura, a portable laptop desk that provides cooling as well as comfort for laptop users. Futura’s design includes a 1/8 inch airspace under the notebook and open ventilation slots, which reduces heat by about 20 percent -- or the same amount of heat reduction you would get with two USB fans.
Another great feature of Futura is that along with being functional, it is also stylish. In fact, users can even have their Futura customized for only $20 above the base price of $29.99.
So if you’re tired of nursing an aching back every time you use your laptop, stop by Lapworks online to view all company products, or just pick up the Futura at your local Target or other IT products store.
