Portable laptop Desk

This desk does exactly what I needed it to do. I have had solid plastic lap desks but I wanted something that was thinner but still sturdy enough so that I could more easily fit it in my backpack for travel.

This desk does everything I need it to do, its stable, it has a pull out mousepad and can hold both the laptop and mouse on my lap with ease. Its also great for bringing to hotels when you need to set up your laptop on a glass desk and the mouse cant read well without a separate mousepad. It's slim and slips very easily into a backpack and the stand portion sits flush with the rest of the desk when stored and holds up my 13" laptop well enough when propped up.

Just what I was looking for and it doesnt look as clunky as a lot of the plastic options out there.

This laptop stand is expandable & adjustable, easy to carry while on travel. I love the versatility of this

This is a classy looking portable lap desk. I like that it's very slim and lightweight, easy to carry in my laptop bag. Works well with my Macbook Pro, even though it extends over the edges. It has a mouse pad that extends from the side. The measurements are 9x12.6 inches and 1/4 inch thick. The faux leather design, is very attractive. So far it's holding up well.

This product is a good laptop stand for sitting in the couch. It takes a try or two to get it to sit right the first time (fold it correctly, people! It’s not that hard!) then it’s golden. My laptop is heavy and I keep it in the “30 degree” setting all the time.

I've been looking for a nice portable (small and light) lapdesk for a few years now and have tried many. Finally found it with this lapdesk. It is one of thinest and lightest I have found and very sturdy. The mouse pad extension is by far one of the stongest. The size and weight allows me easily backpack it when I travel. I liked it so much I bought two.

Figuring out how to fold this thing properly took me several tries, several views of the videos, and a look at some other online photos. If you get easily frustrated, don't even bother (unless you want to use it as a character-building exercise). I've included side view photos of the two positions that hopefully can help. I wish the manufacturer had included a few simple, clear photos of the folding steps. That would've been more useful than the passive-aggressive comment about people using the stand "in an incorrect way" and long, case-sensitive web addresses of mediocre video demos that you have to type in.

Now that I've figured it out, it works pretty well. I mainly use it with my chromebook, which is pretty lightweight. It also holds my 15.6" gaming laptop, which weighs a lot more, although that causes it to wobble just enough to make me nervous. Does it work well enough to justify the high price? Maybe. At first glance, it seems like a lot of money for a simple gadget, but there appears to be a fairly complex design of grooves and magnets below the surface. If you can handle the frustration -- give it a try.

Hello there, nice to meet you! ;o)

I use a lot of lap desks! I travel a lot, and do a lot of writing just about anywhere, be it on the road, coffee shops, flying, and what have you. That said, I'm always on the lookout for better versions of the humble lap desk all the time. The PUNCUBE Portable Lap Desk is only 1/4" thick-- I had to try it out!

Here's what I found, and kindly forgive any frankness:

Firstly, I love great designs, and the old adage, 'form follows function.' In other words, the lap desk must contain/hold either your computer or tablet in a safe manner, so your hard-earned equipment doesn't crash to the floor. ;o)

The PUNCUBE collapsed lap desk arrives in simplified, yet lightweight packaging that doesn't really tell you how to assemble the desk. There's no instructions to be had, save a simple printed sheet of paper thanking you for your purchase, with two 'short-form' URLs that you have to type in yourself. (I must say, I'm not a fan of having to watch a video how to assemble an item... for all we know, we could be out in the field, without internet connection-- and you have no way to put something together.) This product requires you going to some source to tell you how to set it up. Great design makes the item intuitive to put together, and for some reason, I'm stumped on this lap desk.

I broke down (despite my misgivings), and typed in the URLs, and watched the videos, and guess what? Another obstacle for me to overcome. The video wasn't very clear at all! My hubby finally determined that he can see the 'bumps' in the surface of the desk of the magnets and figured out they ought to go together-- only then, we were able to get the laptop stand to work. The clipboard portion was easy to figure out, as well as the pull-out mouse 'pad' from the right side of the desk.

The 'tab' in front, I'm sorry to say, can't keep my 12.9" iPad in place, nor my 15" MacBook Pro. The propped stand/supports kept sliding forward, or collapsing, both in the 15º angle, as well as the 30º angle. In addition, both of my devices kept slipping off the surface of this minimalist desk. It would've been great if the surfaces were fabricated with some form of non-slip material.

The only positives I can say, is that the lap desk is very minimalist and THIN. This desk can fit into most backpacks, purses even. In the end, I found myself wishing for something... more to convince me to work with this design, but I found myself not particularly happy with the results.

Because of these issues, I can only give 2 stars, for the following reasons:

1. Missing clear, easy to understand, set up instructions. Can't move forward without them!

2. This lap desk, while slim, doesn't have necessary support mechanisms to keep your devices in place... safely. The support panels are... dare I say this? Thin and spindly. Distinct grooves would help with the 'tucking' of (thicker) support panels and keep it in place.

3. The surface materials are rather slick, and needs a non-slip finish to keep parts in place, including keeping your equipment safe and stable. (That's the all important function we all need.)

love the mouse pad; love the size; just perfect for small laptops and pads. Beautifully created and easy to use; lightweight.
