Rating: - Great product, but not for laptops bigger than 15"
This is a great product. When my wife uses it, her laptop tends to get a little hot, but I have had no problems with my laptop. We have not tried the power supply storage area, so we don't know how well that works, but in general, we love this product. The only thing to watch out for is having a laptop bigger than 15", because the laptop will take up the whole Notebook stand, leaving no room for a mouse. All in all, a great product and definitely worth the price.
Rating: - laptop slides off!
I really tried to use this for a day or two but my laptop (macbook pro) kept sliding off and pushing into my stomach. Since I type all day my wrists couldn't take the discomfort of being too close to my body. Maybe not so for all laptops but the picture you see with it sitting on a flat surface would mean a macbook pro sliding off completely.
Rating: - Just what I needed
Because of a bad back, I often have to use my laptop while sitting in bed. The Belkin Cushtop makes that a much more pleasant experience than it used to be. The Cushtop holds the computer steady so that it doesn't slide off and it keeps the heat from burning my legs. It has a firm, solid feel and is not really "cushy," which is a good thing. Highly recommended!
Rating: - comfy, not cool
Essentially, this product does what it is supposed to, which is protect your lap/legs from the heat of your laptop while providing a comfortable solution for using your laptop around the house. the space in between is good for storing extra cables and or extra length to things you have plugged into your computer such as your headphones, mouse, etc. A full sized mouse will not fit inside, but i imagine a notebook mouse would. the open middle seems perfectly placed to allow for you to easily pick it up with while still grasping your laptop securely to move it from place to place; a very useful feature i had not thought about until after i had started using it.
I have a 17" laptop and the larger side fits it well without the computer hanging over the edge or anything, and puts the computer at a more comfortable level to look at and type on. The one thing I need to stress is that this will not keep your laptop itself cool, and with my computer it seems to get even hotter than with normal use based on the temperature readings. You are essentially using your computer on an elevated surface with no real ventilation, so i am planning on cutting a hole in mine leading to the open middle area allowing it to vent out the sides and hopefully keep the computer more cool. it seems odd they would design this thing with an open middle but not incorporate actual ventilation to it, but oh well. its a good product and worth the money i paid for it, and has made using my laptop around the apartment a lot more comfortable.
