You probably have one. It is something that was barely on the drawing board a decade ago and now is a top seller in computer peripherals. It’s the Laptop Lap Desk and economics have dug out a niche for it to reside.
The 4th largest company in contracting for the making of laptops – Inventec in Taiwan – is poised to ship more than 5 million of these this year. That represents an increase of 5 percent from the prior quarter. So, it is simple economics that dictates the increased demand for these Laptop accessories are a direct result of the reemerging of the laptop market.
In short, the laptop market is hot and is bouncing on an economic springboard that could result to healthier numbers. For the past four or five year, sales of desktop computers continue to lag behind laptops for a clear reason: the growth of wireless outlets available throughout the nation. Laptops have become the mainstay in classrooms and businesses as the nation marches into cyberspace.
Laptop Lap Desks manufacturers have come up with models to please users and those planning to become laptop users. There are styles that control the heat coming from the power source, styles with bare-bones frames and require no assembly, those that espouse basic black, functional styles to the more “homey” wooden designs.
For laptop users on the move manufacturers have come up with a lightweight cart desk similar to suitcase on wheels. California neurologist Dr. Robert Pavy says “No Thanks.” He says he has tried it but carrying it up the steps is no easy task because of the weight of his computer. Wheelie cart desks might work better for a lighter laptop.
If you have to work on a laptop, you have to hold it on your lap and it can get hot and uncomfortable. After CNET’s lab tested many models of laptop lap desks, it said it had a winner: the “Lapinator”. It was lightweight and blocked heat from the power source effectively. The plastic top was durable and skid proof and seems to reflect the heat off the user’s lap. Essential cords were stored away tidily in the back of the stand.
A second test entry was the lightweight LapWorks Laptop Desk that had space for even the largest laptop and mouse, but could be folded for easy carrying in a laptop bag. A rubberized mat on the desk’s top will hold the computer securely and can morph into a well-built laptop stand that is strong enough to hold a sizeable computer.
For those who prefer to use an external mouse, the Xbrand Mobile Laptop Lap Desk is a refreshing surprise. It is small enough to carry in a traditional laptop case but has a large desk top made of durable, thick plastic for heavy wear. If you want stability this model is made for you. They feature pads that are made of rubber on bottom of the desk as well as the top. In addition to the regular padding, there are also heavy duty pads on the underside of the laptop lap desk to provide more strength and stability.

i need to build a mouse trap and or rubber band car. how to build it, make it go fast. ect. ASAP!!!!?
this car can be either
A) rubber band powered
B) mouse trap powered
C) combo which i prefer (ruber band and mouse trap)
i need as much help as o can get!!!!
I don’t know how you can used the rubber band (difficult) but i think i can figues something out.
need 4 cd’s (lke from AOL, those are free)
balsa wood for frame
mouse trap
metal rod(to transfer power)
wodden sticks (for axles)
cd spacers (connect cds to axel)
string(transfer power)
glue
If you know what your doing you set it up much like the prop on a ruber band plane, and you use the mousetrap to wind the ruber band (causing forward motion) the effect of the rubber band going back and forth being used to transfrer all power toward forward motion will be a bitch though)

look for ideas there, and i think sticking to mouse trap will do you good for simplicity. A good point here would be adequte tension, it is the best way to keep the mousetrap car moving forward stedily, it isn’t a speed race, but a distance thing. The trap snapping to fast will waste the energy of the spring and maybe flip the car. you may go through a few mousetraps by the way (the spring degrades with each go)
