Introduction:


What I Got

UltraLite Version

Version 2

MouzPad Attachment

Dummy Warning o_0

A Full Tree of Paperwork

   With the massive popularity of my Lapinator review, I decided I should take a look at some other options on the market. I have for you today one such option: the Lapworks Laptop Desk Version 2. I was also sent the Ultralite Version and a MouzPad for review.

    Unlike the previous laptop desk, these desks appear to have a lot more engineering involved. They not only fold in half for portability, but they also offer a desktop usage feature where they can be used on a table or real desk to prop up your laptop off the surface.

   I was anxious to get a hold of these products after researching they're website. Let's see if the product and design holds up to an unbiased real world test.

Packaging:

  All 3 products were sent to me without damage, wrapped in bubble wrap, in a typical U.S.P.S. Priority Mail box along with the massive reading materials. Honestly, they sent me SO MUCH reading material that it needed it's own folder! I got pages of articles, reviews, "scientific tests on male fertility", you name it I got it. I mean does anyone really need that many pieces of paper to tell them "use this. It's more comfortable than not using this."? Do we have to threaten the end user with a life without the possibility of offspring? LOL.

  You know what I'm getting at...a bit too much paperwork. Moving on...

   As you can see, each unit was individually bagged in Ziploc's . Yes, like a ham-n-cheese sandwich. Which serves it's purpose. All 3 items also had some rather well done, and colorful, marketing materials. They're also printed on back as well with lots of pictures and variations on how you can use the products.

A Closer Look:

UltraLite Laptop Desk:


UltraLite Top

UltraLite Partially Folded

Width

Bar Down

Bar Up

Rubber Grip Everywhere

   The UltraLite Laptop Desk. The name says it all on this one. It's ultralite, ultra-thin, ultra-compact, and ultra-"not good" for my big DELL Inspiron 6000 laptop. However I will not banish it for that sole purpose. I'm sure this is pretty decent for puny laptops but it's still way too thin for my liking. It's as thin as a heavier cardboard box, just not as firm. There's a good bit of flex to it.

   What really took me a minute to get used to was the fact that when opened to it's fullest, it does not lock into that position. As a matter of fact it's doesn't lock into any open position. The only positions where it's "set" is when it's used in it's desktop mode, on a table, etc. There you can set it to 5 different height adjustments.

   Overall for me personally, this unit is strictly a desktop laptop desk, used to rise up the laptop a bit closer to the user and allowing for better cooling underneath the computer. I just felt it was way too thin to be worthwhile purchase, when the version 2 I'll be showing you in a minute, is just a little beefier and much more suited to laptop or desktop usage.

  Bottom line is I don't see a need for both products. I really don't. They're close enough to be "one". Unless you've just got to have the thinnest thing on the market, go for the version 2.0.
