Introduction

I have found that more and more I am working on my laptop on my comfortable couch and spending less time at my desk. This seems to be mostly because it’s nicer to relax in my living room while writing reviews than it is to be chained to my desk in front of all of the running computers and where all of the heat seems to generate and radiate from. The only problem with this seems to be that as I work at my laptop, my legs seem to get cooked under the heat generated by the laptop.

I have used several laptop workstations that are intended to be used on your lap, but many are bulky and take up a lot of room on the couch. The cumbersome workstations really get in the way and I have looked for a thin solution to this problem. This was the case, until recently, when I discovered the Xpad Slim.

The Xpad Slim is a thin plastic laptop pad that has a rubber anti-slip mat on the bottom. The Xpad Slim has raised rubber feet to keep the laptop off of the surface. The raised surface and low profile design help to keep the laptop raised for cooling and provide a nice work surface away from your lap to keep you comfortable while you work.
