Logitech Comfort Lapdesk Keeps Legs Cool

Logitech Comfort Lapdesk Keeps Legs Cool

Endurance laptop users now have yet another way to fight off the swampy lap and cramped wrists that come from sitting a furnace of a computer on your legs for hours at a time. On Monday, Logitech announced its new Comfort Lapdesk, a padded, heat-shielded buffer to make laptop use more comfortable.

The wedge-shaped Lapdesk uses a curved bottom pad that touches the legs in four places, letting air flow beneath the laptop and helping to release heat. It also elevates the rear of the notebook by 12 degrees, putting the keyboard in a better typing position for seated use. The non-slip surface has been designed to accommodate for notebooks with displays up to 17 inches.

Logitech designed the desk after pulling research that indicated that 60 percent of notebook users use them in their lap, and that 50 percent of notebook users report problems with heat, and 41 percent report problems with posture.

The Comfort Lapdesk is available immediately from Logitech for $40.

DuckDuckGo’s new browser could help keep Mac users safe on the web
DuckDuckGo is a privacy-first web browser.

DuckDuckGo is a relatively well-known alternative to the dominant Google search engine but it also makes a DuckDuckGo web browser for iPhone and Android phones that places your privacy and security first. Now the DuckDuckGo browser is available for your Mac computer as a public beta.

The top feature of DuckDuckGo's browser has always been a convenient Fire button in the upper right corner of every window that burns up browser history, cookies, web caches, and visited URLs keeping your privacy safe with a single click, even on a shared computer. Many more features than that have been added. Duck Player is included and prevents YouTube from using ad tracking, cookies, and recommended videos. DuckDuckGo email is similar to Apple's Hide My Email, providing an @duck.com address that redirects to your actual account and which can easily be switched off if overrun with spam.
