I bought the All For Color lap desk in the Chevron style. I got mine from the Chapters website a few years ago, and though it appears these particular lap desks are no longer available from that particular online retailer, they are still available elsewhere.

A lap desk is a small surface to protect your lap when working with a heavy laptop. My laptop is rather large, and I have chronic pain, so at times it can be uncomfortable for me to have something so heavy in my lap for a longer period of time. This lap desk has a hard surface on one side, on which I can rest the laptop, and the underside -- the one which rests on my lap -- is filled with beans, much like a beanbag chair.

Although I do find that this helps somewhat with reducing the overall weight of the laptop, I would have preferred if it had provided an actual cushioned surface of some sort. It's rather cheaply made, and it's still not the most comfortable that I think I could be. It's also very bulky, and it lifts my laptop up to a certain height where it becomes a bit awkward when I actually have to type on it.

I think this is fine for the price, but I'll probably end up buying something different at some point.
