I use two of those small tables (usually made of oak) you can get at almost any furniture store. The ones which are in a U shape, where part of it tucks under the sofa, the long part of it rises in the air and then the other side of the U forms a small table with right about the perfect height.
I use the first to hold my laptop, the second to hold anything else (drinks, papers, etc). I place them on opposite sides of my legs, both within easy reach.
It works perfectly, long as you don't need a full "desk" to hold your laptop, and you can leave the tables out for other uses, too.

FYI, here is the desk that you mean.
