A temporary laptop stand....

[aimeeandbeatles]

As I'm using this laptop for only about three days at most, I didn't want to bother buying a proper laptop stand so I can put it on my lap, and putting it directly on a lap isn't such the best idea. So I came up with this...

First I stuck a pillow on my lap. Then I took a leftover board from shelving and stuck that on top of the pillow, the board wasa little smaller so it wouldn't poke into my stomach. Then I put the laptop on top of that.

What does anyone think of this?

I think the necessity of creating a thread for what, to anyone else, would have been a very routine and ordinary piece of DIY was somewhat overstated in your mind.

I would of used that but I didn't have one big enough.

I also can't use my computer desk as the monitor's in the way and there's nowhere to put the monitor. .

When I don't use it, I put it on my computer chair, which is a big chair. I also stick my portable HDD on it when its plugged in, so I don't accidentally sit on it.

Quoted for Truth. I really don't care.

I have mine directly on my lap no problem...

Nothing substantial to discuss.
