Colorful, Lightweight Laptop Stand

I'd like to say that I do most of my work sitting upright at my desk, but in reality, that's not always the case. You're more likely to find me curled up on the couch working on my computer, or propped up watching a movie in bed. I've also created makeshift work spaces in airports while waiting for flights, my kitchen floor, and even on the city bus. Of course, with all of this mobility comes Read more

Ikea's Back to School Laptop Solutions

OK, I'll admit it, for someone who isn't even going back to school, I may be getting a little too obsessed with covering back to school products. But overall, I think it's safe to say I have a laptop obsession in general. . . one can never have enough laptop accessories in my book! My favorite Swedish furniture retailer has spoiled me with two new things this week: a SwedeShop iPhone app and a Read more

Make Your Home Office Ergonomically Correct With a Few Simple Supplies

It doesn't take much to make your home workstation a little more body friendly. So before you head back to school this Fall, add a few ergonomic touches to your home office. I have professed my love for the Ikea Dave Laptop stand many times before, so if you must work in front of the tube (like yours truly), put it on a stand and not on your lap! Add a desk lamp to save your eyes, and either an Read more

Nestable Laptop Stand By Vitra Costs $845

What recession? Remember last week, when I pinpointed Target's pricier version of my beloved Dave laptop stand from Ikea? Yeah. I can't exactly call Target's stand expensive, now that I've found the ridiculously expensive Nestable by Jasper Morrison for furniture giant Vitra — it retails for a whopping $845. Wipe the sleep out of your eyes; that's eight hundred and forty-five bones. The Read more

Stylish Laptop Stand From Target

The $25 Dave laptop table from Ikea still holds a special place in my heart — as well as a special place in both my bedroom and living room (tee-hee). But look out Mr. Dave, there's a sexier laptop stand in town and he's popping up at Target stores across the country. Unlike the Dave laptop table, the Ergonomic laptop desk from Target is made of metal in a laminate walnut finish, which you'll Read more

TV Tech: Wacky Laptop Behavior

The "home office" ain't what it used to be. You used to have to use a spare bedroom with some awful looking computer desk and truly boring accessories, but these days, when you can go light and laptop, the "home office" becomes something less obtrusive and easier to pull off. Of course, since you can use a laptop anywhere, TV characters literally do, and sometimes it's admirable, sometimes it's Read more

Nonconventional, Yet Handy Laptop Stands

I'm always hearing about ingenious and inventive ways people manage to use their hot laptops on their laps — whether it be angled on the couch arm, a pillow, or a TV tray, there's always some sort of protective barrier involved. I myself use a variety of things, including a basic breakfast-in-bed tray (when I'm in bed) and my Dave laptop stand when I'm cross-legged on the couch. If you're Read more

The Cheapest, Simplest Ikea Laptop Stand

I thought my lovely Dave was cheap ($20) for a laptop stand, but I've been proven wrong by Ikea Hacker, who has taught me that a genius trip to Ikea can be accomplished by looking at products with a mutable, creative eye. Here, a user submitted this hack for the Lamplig trivet ($6) — accustomed to keeping hot pans off surfaces — where the hacker simply affixed $2 rubber feet to the trivet Read more
