Lapinator and Lapinator Plus, a Closer Look

Mofo writes "Virtual-Hideout has a great real world comparison between two laptop desks . Perfect for laptop users looking to cool off their lap. From the article 'However, with the massive popularity in recent years of laptop computers, along with the evolution of power (which creates heat) infused into them, the laptop accessory market is really getting huge. Laptop desks is one such accessory and are plentiful on the market, but very few are practical and even less are large enough to enjoy.'"

    And its a pretty bad shill at that. From TFA (The F**** Advertisement):

    • Page 1: who the hell can navigate with their index finger on those little laptop squares?
    • Page 2: I use a trackball... it's driven by thumb power!
    • Half the first page is in light-grey italics, making it a pain in the ass to read, but that's OK because it's just a complete cut-and-paste from the product website anyway
    • We're nerds. Sorry, but Keeps your Laptop cooler and Comfortable and Stable just marketing fluff, not proper specs. Where are the heat transfer coefficients, independent third-party measurements, etc? I want to be able to make up my own mind whether this product really will stop high temperatures damaging my bollocks, and more importantly, my laptop...
    • While I'm at it how do you reconcile Thinsulate(TM) blocks 95% of laptop Heat! and Keeps your Laptop cooler? If it is blocking heat it is an insulator, thereby reducing heat dissipation through the bottom of the laptop. I suspect there's more than one load of bollocks under these laptops.


    Sigh. Another Slashvertisement.
