Digital camera reviews of iLap Laptop Stand 15? W for MacBook Pro by Rain Design (10025)
Digital camera Review: Beautiful + comfortable
Summary: 5 Stars
Excelent. If you like to work in the couch or the bed, this is the right product. It's very light, comfortable and looks very cool.Digital camera Review: Best Laptop holder
Summary: 5 Stars
I have more laptop holders than I care to admit to having purchased, but FINALLY I have one that is comfortable and keeps my lap cool while I work.Digital camera Review: Best laptop lap desk I've found
Summary: 4 Stars
I've owned an iLap Laptop Stand for around 3 years and I love it, I won't sit in my recliner with my laptop without this stand. I agree with other reviewers about the bottom cushion not staying put, but it's not too much of a problem for me. Without the included feet, the laptop slips around a little too much to use as a tabletop stand. Despite the two minor flaws, I'd buy another one without hesitation.Digital camera Review: Better than all the others, though it has one weakness
Summary: 4 Stars
Used with 15" Powerbook G4 and HP Pavilion ze4900
First things first. I like it, and it is really comfortable and quite stylish, but...as others have mentioned in the reviews, the wrist pad really needs to be secured better. If you pick it up and shake it, the wrist pad flops around. Its just that the foam inside is not in any way secured to the fabric that surrounds it, so the velcro that connects it to the metal only holds the fabric. Looking at the photo I thought the pad somehow slipped onto the metal tray. Just a bit of a disappointment. That being said, the velcro does keep the pad connected well, as in it doesn't easily come off.
As for the cooling properties of the iLap, it does keep your lap from getting hot, since it actually lifts the laptop off your lap, but I don't know if it really acts like a heat sink as the description says. It just keeps the fans on the bottom from getting blocked by the fabric of your pants or bedsheets. Perhaps it would work like that for my Powerbook if i took the pads off, but I doubt it. Air circulation underneath probably does just as much for it.
I used the little rubber sticky pads it came with (not sure if they used to come with these, but they do now) and they keep both of my laptops from sliding around. My Powerbook still gets pretty hot, but at least now only my palms suffer, and my lap isn't scorching hot. I'll be sure to tell my future children to send thank-you letters to Rain :)
Digital camera Review: Bottom cushion worthless
Summary: 1 Stars
I have been using the iLap for several weeks with my MacBook Pro 15". I keep the computer on the iLap in my lap almost all day, every day. After about 10 days, the bottom cushion started to slip, due to its one-sided velcro (only on the bottom). At this point, I've always got the hook side of the velcro scratching my legs - this is shorts weather, ouch! - but because of the tilt of the iLap itself, taking off the cushion would mean that the computer would slide off the front. I'm unhappy with my purchase and am in the process of looking for a replacement.
