1. The Different Types of Lap Desks
We all remember a time when the coolest kid on the block was the one who had more than
1.3 megapixel camera equipped to his cell phone. It was a good time when a touch screen
would have made any geek tight in the pants. Fast forward to a few years later and we have
cell phones that are more powerful than our computers. With the pace that technology is
advancing, it’s fascinating to see how gadgets are changing so rapidly.
However, one accessory that most people still have an old school image of is a lap desk. A
standard Ergonomic laptop desk may have looked something like this a few years ago:
But if you had been following the lap desk market, you may come across something like this:
Though that looks more like something out of the Mars Rover, it’s actually a laptop stand with
2 usb fans, USB charging and even its own dedicated drink holder. You may not know this,
but laptop ergonomics are now an actual science. Yes, companies are now spending vast
amounts into the science of a comfortable lap computing experience.
That being said, the purpose of this article isn’t to give you a whole lecture on how desk
stands are the coolest things since sliced bread; it is actually aimed to inform the readers

2. about the various different types of comfortable lap desks currently available on the market.
So let’s begin, shall we?
The Basic Lap Desk
Let’s start with the most basic form of laptop stands: The good old plastic, desks that started
the whole game. They were simply positioned to be at a more elevated angle which allowed
for the heat to be dissipated more adequately. These desks, though providing a more
comfortable lap computing experience, didn’t offer anything in terms of value added features.
They didn’t have any electrical components, which made them the ideal desk stand for old
school users who liked to keep things simpler.
Electrical Lap Desks
Nowadays, laptop stands serve much more purpose than elevating the bottom of your laptop.
They are equipped with complex electrical circuitries that allow for features such as fans and
cooling vents. Heck some of them even come equipped with their own subwoofer sound
systems, such as the one below:
These stands, while loaded with advanced modern features, do have some downsides to
them. For one, they are much more expensive than traditional laptop stands. Secondly, the
electrical circuitry within the stands make it less durable as care needs to be taken in order to
prevent the circuits from malfunctioning. Lastly, there’s also the criticism that these desk
stands draw power from the laptop itself which may make the laptop work harder, essentially
making it rise in temperature.
