Laptops are …… well they are notebook computers that you can use on your lap, hence laptop, easy Huh! Of course, but there is a bit of trouble with this simple logic, have you ever tried using a modern notebook computer on your lap?(I’ll use notebook rather than laptop for the purpose of this post) They can get pretty hot along with just about everything around them! I can vaguely remember reading a news story a few years back about someone you had burnt a rather sensitive part of their anatomy by using a notebook computer on their lap for too long! I don’t know if that is true or not but I can quite believe that it might happen.

In fact I can’t believe anyone could work with a notebook on their laps for any length of time without some sort of protection, especially if there is a lot CPU activity. I am always looking for a magazine or something like that to use as protection and this evening I thought I would look around and see what is available in the market.

Well the answer is not a lot apparently, perhaps a small gap in the market for someone! I did manage to find the Belkin Notebook Cushtop which has a nice and simple design, with nothing to break and all at a reasonable cost.

What do you use to protect you lap from your fiery notebook computer?
