@derek – you’re absolutely right, it’s impossible for me to be productive w/o those things ;-)

@Meryl – I enjoyed this whole series – lets me get to know everyone. You can tell a lot about a person by looking through their stuff.

@Jon – The thing I like about the lapinator is how the bottom is ridged and not a solid slap on my lap. Keep air flowing all around. Keeping the fan area clean is a great tip – thanks!

@TJ – It does look very similar but without the swiveling. As above, I like how the lapinator isn’t flat on the bottom which is also a difference. Will have to give it another look when I need a replacement – the options for adjusting the laptop itself look really useful.

It's easily the best laptop gadget I've ever purchased. The Lapinator looks similar, but I can't tell if it swivels. That's the killer feature of the Podium Pad.</p> I’ve been using a roadtools.com Podium Pad happily for years. It’s easily the best laptop gadget I’ve ever purchased.

If your laptop’s running hot, get a can of compressed air and blow out all the dust that’s accumulated on the fan(s) and heatsink(s). That can make a bigger difference than most people think.

I almost forgot about my lapdesk, too. Originally, I wrote a comment in Aliza's bag post -- thinking I didn't have enough for a full post, but then I realized I do carry more things -- they just become a part of my routine. I have several of the lapdesks and they're all great. You can't go wrong -- just don't get the small one if you have a heavy laptop.</p> <p>@JR, what we'd do without our lapthings -- I don't know?</p> <p>@Derek, easy. :) Daughter has Macbook. Sure, I'd like a Macbook, but it's a luxury not a need. Must have PC for a few reasons.</p> @Scott, nice to know I am not alone! I almost forgot about my lapdesk, too.

@JR, what we’d do without our lapthings — I don’t know?

@Derek, easy. :) Daughter has Macbook. Sure, I’d like a Macbook, but it’s a luxury not a need. Must have PC for a few reasons.
