Hi,

I'm very interested in getting something like this, for using my laptop while sitting on my couch, or even in bed. I'm willing to spend money on a good product, but I don't want to get ripped off. It seems these things cost at least $80. Is this just what it costs for something decent, or are there cheaper options out there?

Thanks, Dave

You should contact them and get them to send you a new one.

The design of the Lapdawg seems reasonable, but their manufacturing techniques seem pretty dodgy.

The one we received was actually unusable. They are hand drilling the holes to mount the plastic brackets to the wooden pieces. On ours, the leg joints are about 10 degrees out of alignment, because the leg mounting holes are drilled in very different and almost random orientations.

The laptop doesn’t even sit close to level.

We’re torn between return and dragging out a drill press to try and reposition the pieces to make it work.

Hehehe Kind of a let down huh? Crocheted afghan and all. My bedroom is not exactly tech enabled. Well, I take that back. I do still use the Verilux Rise and Shine lamp

Nine years of reading this site and I finally get a photo of Julie’s er, laptop in bed.

Good find Debbie! The LapGenie does look to be a lot more portable and easy to adjust.

Nice review of the LapDawg Stand. Coincidentally I was just researching these yesterday. I went with the aluminum LapGenie instead. I’ve not received it yet, but it looked like it might be sturdier. It was a little bit more expensive than the LapDawg, but I like that they offered a lifetime warranty and and 30-day money-back guarantee. Looks like it might be more portable. They claim it will fit in a laptop bag. We’ll see. Oh…and I got it in Fuschia! Always a plus.
