Digital camera reviews of iLap Laptop Stand 15? W for MacBook Pro by Rain Design (10025)
Digital camera Review: I lap for Mac Book
Summary: 5 Stars
I am pleased with the design and the materials of this product.
I often use my Mac Pro while sitting in an easy chair, and the stand meets all of my requirements. Further, it serves well on a desk top. As with all things made by man, it is not perfect. The machine must be raised up off the stand, in order to insert or remove a CD. Non-the -less, I rate it a 5 star item.

This item succeeds in keeping the laptop cool running. It's 'the right tool' for the job.Digital camera Review: Ignore Negative Reviews-iLap is Great!
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are thinking of buying a laptop stand, your search is over.
The iLap is an excellent product that will extend the life of your computer. Let's look at the big picture: the iLap might seem expensive at first, but consider how much you would pay to replace your laptop. The iLap is designed so you can use your computer in a more comfortable way. Plus, it pulls heat from your laptop, and heat is the enemy of any electronic device. A cooler computer runs more efficiently and should last longer.
As you read some of the other reviews, you see that some people have given the iLap a good score, but they complain about the price. That is short
sighted. I find the iLap to be a simple and effective product, that will give me more quality time with my computer. That just makes good sense, and I think the iLap is fairly priced.
As far as quality, I have had no problems with construction or function. This stand is solid and sturdy, and the cushions stay in place. The front one is easily removed and reattached when necessary. The iLap is comfortable to use either on a lap or a desk.
I noticed right away that my Mac runs cooler than ever, and the fan rarely comes on. That shows that the aluminum base removes heat from the computer. Honestly, I looked at every laptop stand on the market, and the iLap is clearly the best choice. Whether you have a PC or a Mac, you can choose an iLap to best fit your computer.
My iLap is a superior product and is fairly priced. My advice: buy it, and don't pay attention to those negative reviews. I like mine so much that I bought one for my daughter who just graduated from college!
The iLap is a lot like my Mac: IT JUST WORKS!
Digital camera Review: Indispensable! I've owned it for 8 months and can't live without it. Updated my review after using iLap for 2.5 years!
Summary: 5 Stars
At the bottom, I've updated a couple of comments now that I use the iLap for my MacBook Pro.
I bought my iLap in July of 2006 for my PowerBook G4. I was having problems with my PowerBook being unbearably hot when placed on my lap so I decided to give the iLap a try.
The iLap has surpassed my expectations. I feel absolutely no heat on my lap from my PowerBook even though I use my PowerBook many hours at a time, every day. The hinged front and back cushions offer enough flexibility that I can use the iLap in many different positions, such as sitting up or laying on my back on the couch. I also find the cushions offer enough support that I don't have problems with discomfort from the weight or metal of my PowerBook or the iLap itself.
I have not had the slipping problem others have reported. My iLap came with 4 rubbery pads that grip the PowerBook very well. If I do notice any slippage, all I have to do is clean the pads and the feet on my PowerBook, and the slippage stops completely. I have to clean it maybe every 2 or 3 months which is very reasonable. I constantly walk around with my PowerBook on my iLap, and the grip is so good that I have to be careful to remind myself that they are not truly attached because I sometimes find myself not holding my PowerBook as securely as I should. So far, in 8 months of use, the iLap has not allowed my PowerBook to slip even with my occasional carelessness.
The iLap has held up very well after 8 months. The cushions have not degraded, the front cushion remains firmly attached (although, I usually don't take it off as there's no need), and while I'm sure the cushions must be dirty by now, you wouldn't know it by looking at it. I have used a lint remover on the cushions a couple of times to clean up cat hairs when my cat thinks my closed PowerBook is her personal warmed napping spot, but that's about as much care as my iLap has needed.
I have found my iLap to be so good that I take it everywhere I go, including finding ways to put it in suitcases when I go out of town. The hinged front cushion helps greatly when packing it, and it's stood up well through many plane rides in the front pocket of suitcases that were checked in.
I can't say enough good things about my iLap. It is one accessory that I find completely indispensable for my laptop usage and comfort. It receives my highest of recommendations, especially considering how well it's held up for so long.
UPDATE: I have now used my same iLap for 2.5 years! I still can't live without it! I have had a MacBook Pro for about 1.5 years now, and continue to use my iLap with it. I finally did run into slipping problems as the rubbery pads hardened with age. But I found a great way to resolve this issue.
When I bought my MacBook Pro, I immediately put it in a clear hardshell case to protect it. To stop it from slipping on the iLap, I simply put velcro on my hardshell case and on the iLap. Now the MacBook Pro stays put without any slipping at all no matter how I position it.
If you give velcro a try, I suggest putting the soft side on the Mac's case and the hook side on the iLap itself. That way when you take your Mac somewhere in which you don't take the iLap, the velcro on the bottom isn't a problem.
I also wanted to comment that I ended up removing the cushion in the front of the iLap, and I have found it to be very comfortable on my lap without it.
I've used Macintosh computers since 1986, and this is one accessory that I have used the longest. I cannot be happier that I bought it.
