Heat Insulators for Laptops

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-its-stupid dept.

Alex Bischoff writes "The Gadgeteer has a review of a product called LapPads from LapLogic. They're heat-insulating pads to protect you from cooking your lap when using your laptop. Depending on the model, they apparently provide up to 57 degrees (F) reduction in heat transfer. Why didn't someone think of this sooner?"

    1. The heat will reflect back into the laptop, cooking it.
    2. But that is preferable to Burning Off Your Penis
    3. Of Course You could just use a Towel/Placemat/piece of cardboard/cat

    That's a great anecdote. Say, can you scurry off and find a few other products that were designed 70 years ago by people literally working with guns to their heads that didn't turn out so well?
