Product Description
No laptop desk blocks the heat like a Lapinator! Only the Lapinator series of portable insulated laptop desks uses 3M Type B Ultra Thinsulate as a barrier to 95 percent of the heat produced by laptop computers. And, unlike those other desks, its comfortable! The patented design keeps your notebook a smart 10 degrees cooler while venting body heat too. PC Magazine gives the Lapinator 4 out of 5 stars. The Wall Street Journal rates it a Best Value. CNET says The Lapinator was by far the most effective at blocking heat. It's also the lightest and most comfortable. Virtual-Hideout.net proved, The Lapinator does an outstanding job of protecting your legs from a hot laptop, when testing it with a laser temperature gun. Why buy a laptop desk that weighs almost as much as your notebook? At a mere 11 ounces the Lapinator Plus is so comfortable you wont even notice its in your lap (or laptop bag). Both the Lapinators surface and padded bottom are slip-resistant to keep everything in place. Three self-adhesive bumpers provide ventilation and a better typing angle. And the 13 inch Lapinator Plus fits in your laptop bag with ease. Use it anywhere! 30 day unconditional money back guarantee. One year warranty against defects. Need space for an external mouse? Please take a look at our Lapinator with Mousitizer mouse pad listings on Amazon.

 Outstanding product April 28, 2008
Outstanding product. After trying other options, I find the Lapinator to be the best. I enthusiastically recommend it to friends, all of them pleased, and enjoy giving it as a gift. Once you own one, you never want to be without it.
 Horrible for hot, bottom vented laptops! April 1, 2008

The plastic becomes pliable when it's hot and basically sucks right up to the vents on the bottom of your computer, even with the little rubber feet in place. It really blocks the heat alright.. blocks it from escaping the computer at all!
Best Heat Reducing Lap Desk March 13, 2008
I've tried the Lapinator, LaptopDesk 2.0 and the iLap and of the three it's not even close...the Lapinator is the BEST at keeping the heat off your legs.
The best part of the Lapinator is that you can use a laptop that gets super hot (my first generation black Macbook) for hours on end and not feel the heat on your legs. Is the Lapinator perfect? No. After extended use, you will be able to feel some heat coming out from the bottom of the Lapinator, but NOWHERE NEAR the amount of heat you would feel from the LaptopDesk and iLap.
For men, you might be better off getting the larger size Lapinator. From the looks of the measurements it seems that the larger Lapinator is wider allowing you spread your legs a bit while using it. The original Lapinator that I have requires you to keep your legs relatively close together for it to stay on your lap.
I never understood how insulating material would keep heat off your legs, but it does. The Thinsulate, I guess, absorbs the heat and keeps it in the material without disbursing it down to your legs. The problem with the LaptopDesk and iLap is that the materials not only absorb the heat, but it makes the heat escape down to your legs. The Lapinator does an EXCELLENT job of preventing the heat from going towards your legs.
I've heard people complain that the Lapinator will only work well for 1.5 hours, but I haven't found that to be true at all. I've used it for 3-5 hours on my lap and the heat does NOT get anywhere near the point of discomfort. You will feel the heat after a while, but again it is negligible.
The rubber stoppers that are included with the Lapinator raise the back of your laptop. I imagine this further helps keep the heat away from your legs. The Lapinator surface is slippery despite what they say, however, attaching the rubber stoppers virtually eliminates any sliding around.
Hope you guys find this useful

This product has no moving parts, no power--it just sits there under your laptop and keeps your lap from getting hot. Simple and effective.
