Lapinator and Lapinator Plus, a Closer Look

Mofo writes "Virtual-Hideout has a great real world comparison between two laptop desks . Perfect for laptop users looking to cool off their lap. From the article 'However, with the massive popularity in recent years of laptop computers, along with the evolution of power (which creates heat) infused into them, the laptop accessory market is really getting huge. Laptop desks is one such accessory and are plentiful on the market, but very few are practical and even less are large enough to enjoy.'"

This has got to be a joke!

Why is this news? It would be more interesting to read a comparison of my left and right hands.

But do you want to be sterile?

Buy a Dell laptop, and enjoy your free sterilsation no more swimming around soldiers more like fried sperm from Dells mobile nuclear reactor. I swear you could melt metals with a dell notebook.

From that article:

It was apparent from the outset that the right hand is slightly larger than the left hand; this size difference is likely a reaction to the right hand being used for more tasks. During key benchmarking (hand writting, manipulating can openers, masturbating) the right hand provided better results for longer durations than the left hand did.

You're right, that is more interesting that the laptop desk comparo.

How to mod log into a free, open source Lapinator!

[hikerhat]

As a slashdot reading hacker, I have a limited income - my allowance from Mom. Thanks Mom! Lapinator looks like a great product. How many computer products have type B thinsulate in them? Not many! Sadly, I cannot afford my own Lapinator, the worlds greatest lap desk!. But I'm a hacker, so I figured out a sweet log mod (It's log! It's log! It's big, it's heavy, it's wood!) that lets you simulate your own Lapinator! Lapinator is the worlds greatest lap desk! Anyway, here's the mod:

1. Put on the sun screen! you're leaving the basement, and going outside!
2. Go outside. You should be able to find a log. In a park, or on your farm, or somewhere!
3. Saw the log into planks. Be careful you don't cut off your quake hand! (Or whatever you use your hand for, LOL!!!!)
4. Glue the planks together.
5. Wait for the glue to dry.
6. Wait for it....
7. Laminate! (As an exercise for the reader, download a sweet pic of Natalie Portman and laminte it to the glued together planks for a sweet mod of the mod!)
8. Go back inside (take your glued together laminated planks with you!)
9. Put the glued together laminated planks on your lap, and then put your laptop on top of that.

There you have it. A sweet mod for those of you who can't afford a lapinator right now. Lapinator is the greatest lap desk ever made!

Laptop desk?

Bah, old hat. I prefer my desktop lap! Quite simple to get really.
1) Eat a bag of cheetos.
2) Repeat step 1 until your lap is large enough to comfortably support something the size of a desktop computer.
No need to worry about the expense or inferior performance of a laptop, with the added bonus that no matter where you go you can set it up without having to carry any extra addons!

WTF? Why would i use a log.. where the hell am I supposed to get a log from? You think log's grow on tree's boy?? People like you are the reason's we have the problems we have in the world today. VP's shooting people.. monkee's being our great grand daddy's.. I tell you.. the end is nigh my young friend. The time of judgement is at hand and you and your log lover's have been judged lacking! All hail Ceaser! Boh-YAA!

Re:Should it ever be on the lap anyway?

[GungaDan]

If lap undulation makes proper use of your computer troublesome, I humbly suggest you stick with pole dancing.

Re:Take it out!

[Kent Recal]

No, take it out and plug it back in every 30 minutes. Only that way you can get the worst from both worlds!
