Having a computer on top of your lap while you binge watch TV is as common nowadays as wiping your butt after you poo. It’s something that is second nature to us all, however, it comes with some annoyances. After a while the laptop overheats which can lead to malfunction of the computer or overheating of your body.
For those who prefer a mouse while using a computer, having it sit directly on top of your legs leaves no space for the mouse to function. This is where the genius of a laptop desk comes into play.
Portable Laptop desks provide much-needed comfort to both adults and children. They aid in the functionality of things such as:
- Air circulation for the hardware of the computer
- Space and surface area for people to keep important work items such as a notebook and pen
- Hard surface for a mouse to move around
- Ideal positioning of the computer to the body so people can practice proper body posture while typing and web surfing
- Positioning the computer to ideal eye level so people aren’t ruining their eyesight
- Help with cable management
- Place to set your phone so you can have dual work devices going at once
Portable work stations can be used on your lap in front of the TV or even on top of your desk at work. If you travel they can be very beneficial for getting work done at the airport or on the train. Don’t do work that requires a computer? No worries, they can still benefit you when watching TV or in the kitchen when you have to follow a recipe via Pinterest.
Let’s dive into a few of my favorite workstation desktops below, and perhaps you will find one that suits all of your needs as well! What are you waiting for? Scroll on down Linda, you know you’re interested.

Dual bolster cushions allow this portable lap desk to sit on any leg shape comfortably and steadily by adapting to the surface it is put on, or in this case the leg it is put on.
A wrist pad lines the bottom of this which is multifunctional; it keeps your laptop from sliding and works as a nice wrist cushion for typing.
