Digital camera reviews of Targus PA243U Notebook Portable Lapdesk
Digital camera Review: Doesn't last long
Summary: 2 Stars
The Notebook Portable Lapdesk props up your laptop, so that you don't destroy your wrists while typing. I have used it every day for the past year and I am not unhappy with it. It does not cool the laptop like several other Targus products also reviewed here, but it certainly provides a better angle.
However, I made the mistake of always placing my laptop in the same little plastic hook (there are 4 or 5 to choose from when you adjust the angle) every time I used it. This mistake and the fact that the lapdesk doesn't cool the laptop led to the little hook melting and the lapdesk collapsing. I am using the other little hooks now, but I don't like the angle quite so much.
I don't know whether a year is the average life expectancy of these products, but I find it short.
Digital camera Review: Exactly what I needed
Summary: 4 Stars
In the pictures this lapdesk appears very sturdy. In reality it's a lightweight, thin plastic that at first seems flimsy. After some use though, I'm very pleased with it. I like the versatility of using it as a lapdesk and to raise my screen when using a wireless keyboard. I agree it does seem too thin to support a laptop if carried from one spot to another so I never do it. It was one of the few lapdesks that provids space for a mouse, which is great.Digital camera Review: Extremely Flimsy.

Cheap plastic thing. You would want something that is more sturdy in your lap. I would not recommend this to anyone.Digital camera Review: Favorite accessory

This laptop stand not only helps with the cooling - it also raises the computer for better viewing and is easier on your wrists. I've been asked by numerous people where I got this and have recommended it to I don't know how many people. Mine recently broke (my husband accidentally kicked the stand while it was on the floor) and I immediately ordered another one.Digital camera Review: Flimsy, Not for anything heavier than your palm pilot

I purchased the original lapdesk that this product is based on. While this looks the same in the picture, this item is meant for a much much lighter laptop than any I have used. Might be good for the ultra-sub-notebook set, but not much good for anything modestly sized. I suggest that you look for another lapdesk.
