It's an interesting product, but it's a bit too bulky (and fugly) for my tastes... Thanks for the link, Blake. It’s an interesting product, but it’s a bit too bulky (and fugly) for my tastes…

I think a padded protector like this is a money idea, but alas I would also need a way to secure the laptop to it before I bit the bullet. Thx for the heads up.

I've owned a Sony FE-11M Laptop for about 9 months now and have it on my laptop close to 3, or could it be 5 hours every day, it slightly warms up but nothing that comes close to discomfort, do I have a magic model? or are other brands doing something wrong?

I was like, "Wow, it's probably not safe to ride a bike and play on a laptop."

What I *would* spend my hard-earned money on is a product I could secure to my recumbent bike ( http://amazon.com/gp/product/B000BGI5CI ) so I can use my laptop while pedaling. I have yet to see anything that accomplishes that task... Have you, Blake (or anyone else)?

But i guess that cost 150 bucks, as opposed to 30... Other ways i've gotten by - Stolen lunch tray from cafeteria laid across a pillow - various textbooks - 3 ring binder Given none of those have comfortable padding, but most cost little to none.

Other ways i’ve gotten by
- Stolen lunch tray from cafeteria laid across a pillow
- various textbooks
- 3 ring binder

Given none of those have comfortable padding, but most cost little to none.
