[Geneva, Illinois]-Lapinator, Inc. is proud to announce the release of the Lapinator&trade portable insulated computer laptop desk. The Lapinator terminates the heat given off when using laptop computers, maximizing comfort and preventing possible injury.
The Lapinator, a platform for your laptop computer, is a portable, comfortable, lightweight, and inexpensive solution to the heat and stability problems associated with using a laptop. And, with dimensions of 12 x 13 x 1 inches, the Lapinator can easily be stored in most laptop cases.
How hot does your laptop computer get? Pentium 4 laptops can reach temperatures in excess of 150 degrees, potentially creating injury to the user. According to a widely covered news story, a Swedish scientist burned his private parts while writing a report on his laptop, amusing readers yet illustrating the potential dangers:
"The unnamed 50-year-old father-of-two had balanced his computer on his lap while he wrote the report in an armchair at home, taking about an hour to do it" The following day, he started to develop painful blisters on his genitals, which become infected but eventually cleared up without the need for antibiotics... the patient had been wearing trousers and underpants." -- Herald Sun
Lapinator to the rescue!
How does the Lapinator work? Weighing in at a meager 11 ounces, the Lapinator uses 3M's space age Thinsulate&trade Insulation to block laptop heat from reaching the user. The Lapinator employs a special pre-compressed Thinsulate so it will never lose its insular qualities. The Lapinator also has open cell foam rubber "legs" to lift the entire unit three quarters of an inch off of the lap, creating a "chimney" effect between the legs allowing the user's body heat to quickly dissipate.
The Lapinator not only protects you, but it protects your computer, too. Each Lapinator comes with two half-inch self-adhesive rubber bumpers that can be permanently attached to the top of the Lapinator. These bumpers lift the back of the laptop off the Lapinator surface, creating convection currents that allow your laptop to run cooler.These bumpers also provide a more ergonomic angle for typing.
The Lapinator's sturdy polypropylene top provides a safe and secure non-slip surface and the bottom of the unit consists of durable yet comfortable cross-linked foam wrapped in a pique cloth that will not slide off of clothes or skin. The back of the Lapinator includes a piece of One-Wrap&trade Velcro that securely wraps the power, modem and network cords attached to many laptops.
The Lapinator is designed to provide the highest degree of stability for laptop use. The Lapinator can be used while waiting in an airport, on the plane, commuting by train, in a car, or sitting in your favorite easy chair at home.
Lapinator, Inc. conducted a recent test running a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop on the Lapinator for two hours. The laptop reached a rather warm temperature of 115 degrees. But in a 70 degree room, the temperature between the Lapinator legs and the desk where the Lapinator rested was a cool 73 degrees.
