Last week, my back went out (again), and while it wasn’t too bad, I had to lay in bed on an icepack for a couple of days. There was no way I could sit in a chair at the desk or use my laptop comfortably in bed…. My problems were solved when I got the Lapdawg X4, a multi-purpose transformable table made of anodized aluminum. It isn’t just a laptop/bed tray - its three legged, push button, auto-locking joints swivel 360° into five different table tray modes, so you can also use it as a laptop stand, bed/breakfast tray, TV-dinner tray, a lap/writing desk or whatever else you can dream up. The Lapdawg can hold up to just over 25 lbs., weighs just over 5 lbs. and comes with its own carrying case. I really liked it because the joints are adjustable in tiny increments and I was able to get just the right angle for my laptop and there was room for the mouse on the side (very important!). It worked perfectly. See the site for lots more photos and descriptions of use.
