A laptop stand with cable routing for under $5 bucks. No gluing necessary. Save deskspace. Save your neck. Save your eyes. Save the whales (with the extra time you can sit in front of your laptop before crippling fatigue overcomes you).
When using a laptop for long periods of time, it does get uncomfortable after a while. The keyboard and screen should ideally be separate to reduce neckstrain during prolonged use. If you are a full time laptop user, it is recommended you build something like this that will help you raise your monitor to a near eye level. This way you can have both the keyboard and the monitor in the right positions.
Using a laptop on the lap, it tends to get really hot. This stand is made out of a scrap of plywood and some rubber. Now the laptop sits nicely on the lap and still has airflow around it.
When using a notebook/laptop computer actually in your lap, the heat buildup can get annoying. This pad is meant to insulate you from the computer-generated heat, while still allowing it to dissipate heat from below.
