Rain Design's iLap can be used for the lap or the desk, but really excels being on the lap. It was made for those of us who do not want to be confined to a desk, staring at a wall in a room, away from everything. Instead, iLap lets you use your MacBook in the comfort of your recliner, chair, bed, or whatever surface that you decide to sit or on to do your computing. It has these velvety wrist rest to help protect you from carpel tunnel on one end and then a velvety bad on the other end, so that it rests comfortably on the lap. It swivels so it moves as you move. It is super light. It's just the nicest stand of its type on the market. iLap is sized for 12-13.5in, 14-15.5in, and 17in laptops. This is the one to get.

Q&A

1. Why isn’t the iLap taller for better viewing? Unlike some tall laptop stands that are designed for desk use only and require an external keyboard, the iLap is catered for lap use as well – with the convenience of typing directly on the laptop keyboard. Therefore, tilting the iLap higher would be uncomfortable on the wrists when typing on the laptop.

1. Why isn’t the iLap perforated (with holes) for better cooling? Perforations are required for surfaces that don’t conduct heat well, like plastic (which is a heat insulator). The iLap’s all aluminium thermal conductivity is 13 times more than stainless steel, and thus the more surface that it has in contact with the notebook, the more heat that it draws away (in the same conceptual way that heat sink works on the CPU).

1. The front cushion is detachable, but is the back cushion removable? The back cushion is not detachable. The front cushion is detachable for switching between lap work and desk work, but the back cushion should remain for either use.

1. Do I need a separate keyboard and mouse? No, the iLap allows you the convenience of working with your laptop keyboard and track pad.
2. What am I paying for? Rain Design seeks to provide the best value to our customers – high quality products at low prices. Aluminum is chosen for its light weight, elegance and higher heat conductivity (compared to steel and plastic), although the cost of aluminum is 4 times more than plastic and 2 times more than steel. In addition, luxury velvet is chosen to give the ultimate comfort and style. Given all these, the iLap is set at the affordable prices of $49.90-$69.90 to our valued customers.

1. Does the iLap come with a warranty? Rain Design provides a one (1) year warranty against manufacturer’s defect and workmanship. Should there be any defect, Rain Design, Inc. would either repair or replace the product at its sole discretion. The warranty does not apply to damages caused by accident, abuse, misuse, misapplication, wear and tear, or acts of God. Rain Design, Inc. is not responsible for direct, special, incidental or consequential damages.

1. Can I buy replacement cushion for the iLap? Yes, you can buy replacement cushion.
