Customer Rating: - Exactly what I expected!
I found it very helpful. It has a perfect design and size. I can move around. Moreover it totally my lap top's heat around and I am not concern anymore to put my hot 17" laptop on my feet (because of health issue on men!) .

Customer Rating: - Fabulous!
Both my hubby and I have this for our lap tops when we are sitting in bed. They keep the lap top at just the perfect height and heat away from you and allow the lap top to cool itself properly. You can get them in different colors so it can match your decor. I highly recommend this product. It works well on your lap or on any surface.

Customer Rating: - Belkin Laptop CushTop Stand - Niche Design But No Cooling

Belkin's CushTop Notebook Stand is a good product for those that like to use their laptops on their laps while sitting on a couch or recliner. The stand adds a little height, which means it may be great if used in your lap or on a coffee table but perhaps not so great if used at eye level. It can be flipped over for use with a 15.4 inch laptop or a 17 inch widescreen, though it will also obviously work with smaller sizes. There are a variety of colors as well.

Antec's USB-Powered Notebook Cooler is great cooler, but not very comfortable when used directly on the lap. Some may opt to use this in combination with the Belkin cushtop or with a Jumbo Lap Desk like I do. Others may just want to get the heat away from their legs and not require any additional cooling, in which case the cush-top stand alone may be enough.

I still have mixed emotions about this lap cushion, because I personally always use my notebook cooler so this is not ideal for me. But as a gift I have seen this work well for people who want something to lounge on the couch with and don't care about using a laptop cooler. Depending on what your needs are this may be a better option for you than a lap-desk.

The one advantage this stand has that few other laptop cushions do is that the center area can indeed be used to store a cordless mouse and your power brick. It's true that it's a tight fit, but if you situate your items properly you can *squeeze* them in. There's not much extra area on which to use the mouse though, which is a slight negative.

The surfaces are hard, which lets you rest your laptop without having to worry about blocking your air intakes and vents on the bottom of your laptop. Just keep in mind that this stand will not improve cooling much on it's own. So if you have a problem with overheating then you must look for a notebook cooler in addition to this.

But on the same token, the unit is reversible so both sides are somewhat firm. If you're like me, you may prefer the cushioned feel of the Jumbo Lap Desk to the hard underside of this one.

So if you just want to get the laptop away from your legs and don't need extra cooling, then the Belkin CushTop may be for you. If you do want the cooling of a notebook cooler, but still need a cushion for lap use, you have a choice between the cush-top stand or something like the lap desk, which has a bean bag bottom that gives a little more than the hard surface of this guy.

As with most laptop accessories, I must again voice my disbelief at the list price of this guy. As it normally sells for less than half of that, it can be a good value if you are careful. This item is also frequently sold at brick and mortar stores for much less than the list price here. So never pay list price for this!

Weigh the pros and cons and see what features matter most to you.

Enjoy!

Customer Rating: - Great Product
I wanted something that would allow me to use my laptop on my lap without me having to feel the heat. I didn't want to use a pillow because they can be flimsy. I also didn't want anything with a fan that needed to be plugged in. I did research on many laptop stands and they all were pretty much plastic which I didn't think would be comfortable in my lap. They mostly looked as if they were supposed to be used on a desk. Then I came across this and really liked it. The fabric that covers it looks and feels really durable. My 15.4 inch laptop fits perfectly on top and does not slide off. I also don't feel the heat on my legs anymore. It isn't as soft as a pillow but it still is comfortable. It has a firmness to it that is just right. The middle "storage" pocket isn't at all great for storing anything. It definitely is too narrow for my mouse or power cord. I wasn't planning on using that for storage anyway tho. Its very useful tho for when I am carrying this with my laptop on top of it. They make for good handles. I also love how it raises my laptop up to be level with my eyes. I don't have to bend my back anymore. All in all this is a great laptop stand to consider. It comes in pretty cool color combos and is lightweight. If you turn it around, you can also use it for 17 inch laptops :)
