There are many different styles of laptop tray available, each with it's own merits and one very popular style is the bean bag laptop tray. As the name suggests, this style uses a bean bag base which molds to the shape of whatever you rest it on, providing a good, stable base. The bean bag is topped with a sold plastic tray, providing a hard surface for your laptop to rest on, which is essential to allow sufficient dissapation of heat by the cooling fans.[article continues below]

If you often find yourself resting your laptop on your knees, then you should really invest in a beanbag laptop tray, as not only will it minimise the risk of any potential health problems caused by the heat generated by your laptop, it will also provide you with a much more comfortable and stable surface to use your laptop on. Soft surfaces of any kind are not suitable for long periods of use, as they can obstruct the vents of your laptop, causing it to overheat which in turn shortens the lifespan of vital internal components. There are many different sizes and styles of bean bag laptop cushions, so you can choose the one that not only suits your laptop, but also suits your needs best of all. You might like to take advantage of some of the additional features that are on offer such as cup holders and reading lights, that not only make using your laptop more comfortable, but also allow you to use your tray for other things too. For instance, you could use it as a bean bag bed tray on which you could rest a book you are reading, taking full advantage of the light and cup holder for maximum comfort, or you could use it to rest a plate on if you are eating a meal in bed. A bean bag lap tray is also ideal for using if you find you are eating away from your dining table, perhaps on the sofa while watching your favourite programme. Bean bag laptop trays are a truly versatile accessory and no laptop owner should be without one.
