Adjustable laptop trays

Adjustable laptop trays

 

Seems like there's a lot of these 'adjustable laptop trays' out there. You might read some of the comments and wonder about the quality of some of them. I can't speak to those other trays, but this one really works. The tray and legs are sturdy aluminum and will support any laptop fine. The joints are plastic, but I have had no issue with them. I have back trouble and this thing is perfect for working on my laptop in bed. My laptop is a widescreen, but it fits fine.

You should note that there's no place for a mouse on the tray. Personally I think a mouse would be awkward to use on an inclined tray even if there was room like some trays offer. My suggestion would be to get a wireless mouse and then you can use it on any flat surface and you don't need an attached tray.

A word of caution - even though this tray can indeed fold up, in practice it is a pain to fold and unfold. Like me you'll probably find a setting that works best for you and leave it that way.f

Overall, quality product, does what it says on the box.

UPDATE: This product lasted just under two years and then I was lying on my bed using it like normal one day and the outer joint on one of the legs snapped like a twig. I don't feel ripped off - $44 isn't a bad value for two years of extensive use and comfortable computing. Still, this product obviously has a limited lifespan.
