Your laptop sits on the gray part, and the blue part can accommodate your mouse.

What’s on your lap? If you said, “Why, my Mac, of course,” aren’t your thighs getting a little warm? Or perhaps your neck hurts from hunching over to better see the screen. Well, sit up straight, Hot-Thighs McSlouchy, because the W800 Aerogel Extreme Wide can help.

W800 Aerogel Extreme Wide. This lap-bound pad’s Aerogel material insulates 99 percent of heat. We used our MacBook Pro for hours without feeling any warmth at all. The pad’s four sturdy ridges let air circulate underneath your notebook, while the bottom has a no-slip coating to keep it stable on your lap (we even used it cross-legged). An 8-by-10-inch pad sticks out to either side as a mouse pad. The W800 measures 11 by 20 by 1 inches and weighs 26 ounces.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The W800 Aerosol Extreme Wide can make couch- or lap-bound computing much more comfortable.
