Great stand for your laptop that keeps you cool and allows greater stability for the laptop.
Have you ever been sitting on the couch surfing the web with your laptop on your lap? Yes? Well, so have I. In fact as I write this review my laptop has been on my lap for well over an hour. I can feel the heat being generated by the battery on the sides of the laptop casing, however my lap is no hotter right now than the top of my head. The reason, pictured below, is the Lapworks Futura, a great stand for your laptop that keeps you cool and allows greater stability for the laptop.
There really is not much to say about this device other than it works, and the difference is very noticeable. Some may ask, why pay money for something that my legs can do for free? Well, being a guy I can give you plenty of reasons why I do not want my lap broiled but instead I thought I should look for some kind of scientific study. For this I did a Pubmed search and presto, I found a great article that is free for anyone to view. The article is entitled; “Increase in scrotal temperature in laptop computer users.” The final sentence of the abstract “Further studies of such thermal effects on male reproductive health are warranted,” and while it may not sound appealing, it is shocking to think of what damage young men may be inadvertently subjecting their bodies to.
In my opinion with the Futura laptop desk I can rest assured that I am avoiding this prolonged heating and possible damage, not to mention its now comfortable to sit for a long period of time with my laptop on my lap. Personally, I feel that this study may be a window into the future. At no point in time have laptops been so prevalent, and I feel that it would be a great shame if years from now another study linked inability to have children with prolonged use of laptops.
