Laptop Desk Review - MOHAN - INDIA

Just assembled it ( ver3.0 ) and started using it. Its awesome. I am suffering from severe back pain and had been advised bed rest for two weeks. Your product solves my problem elegantly.

Thank you! ( Sept 2008 )

"I am a computer programmer and my livelihood depends on hours of successful work on my laptop. With this product, I can work in my bed and get hours of productive work done with little discomfort. I definitely recommend it for those with prostate problems. "

Laptop Table Review - Johnson - Ohio

"I just wanted to thank-you for saving my sanity last year. In June 2003 I fell in my driveway and got a compression fracture of one vertebrae. I could not sit for over 6 weeks because of the pain. Laying down relieved much of the pain but I soon grew bored with TV and video games. As a daily Internet surfer it was killing me not to get on the Internet. I tried using a notebook PC on a bedside table but it was awkward and tiring. I started searching the web for some kind of bed table for notebook PC's and found only your product. It was a beautiful site when it arrived. The design is a work of genius in function and form and it works exactly as advertised. If you are not selling enough of these it is only because people have not heard about it. I hope you can stay in business for many years and help more people like me stay connected to the world."

The laptop-laidback has allowed me to continue working while awaiting my surgery date for my back (a microdiscectomy at L5/S1). The only position I am reasonably comfortable in is to be completely flat on my back in bed. The laptop-laidback has allowed me to work on my laptop with surprising comfort. It's flexible design made it easy to adjust to suit my preferred and most comfortable position.

Even after surgery (its been two weeks now), I find I still use the laptop-laidback to aid in the healing process and minimize pain while working.

Laptop desk Review - Carlsson - Sweden

"I have been using the table for several days now, and I can say that I really like the product! I hurt my back late last year which makes it difficult for me to sit down for several hours in a row. Now, using the laidback, I can alternate between sitting and staying in bed while using the computer. I've also enjoyed using it to play a DVD while in bed. "

"I've been using your Laptop Laidback for a couple weeks now and I must tell you it is GREAT. I have a bad back, and sitting is just about the worst thing for it. Using the Laptop Laidback has let me get hours of work done laying down and my back is feeling better. A great idea and a great product."

Laptop Desk Review - Weiner - MI

"I think it definitely has uses for the paraplegic community, especially those with paralyzed stomach muscles (making it hard for them to sit up in bed or sit at all). You would definitely have a market, I believe, as long as you got your product info. out to these sources."

Laptop Desk Review - PETER – NFLD

I just wanted to tell you that I am delighted with this product and your speedy and efficient service. I suffered from a back injury just over 3 weeks ago and was confined to bed after release from hospital. Lying flat almost all of the day, I was unable to communicate electronically with friends, family and work colleagues. However, my son located your company on the Internet and called you to talk about your product. Shortly after, my wife ordered the Laptop Laidback form you, noting that I was in urgent need of this device. Your response was immediate and the table arrived in very good time. I have been most impressed with the quality of this product and its ease of use. It has certainly enabled me to be "connected" again. Coping with my temporary incapacity would have been much more difficult without the Laptop Laidback. I can thoroughly recommend this product to anyone who finds themselves to be in a similar position to me.

Laptop Desk Review - Dennis - WA

"As a wheelchair user, it'll allow me to keep working when I have to lie down and stretch my back (not to mention having to go to the hospital for any length of time). Your product seems like the perfect solution."

Laptop Table Review - Jim - North Carolina

"Just wanted to let you know that I received the laptop-laidback today. I think am going to really love it. I have been wanting something like this for a long time since I have been confined to bed for several months. ……I am, at this point, (this is second time I have used it today) very happy that I found your product."

Laptop Table Review - Bob - West Virginia

"The first one we bought was a great help to my wife. She kept up with her indexing work using our PowerBook and the Laidback while recovering from a serious illness; continues to enjoy it. Now its hard to get her back in the office!!"

Laptop Desk Review - Jean - England

"I'm using it at the moment and it is wonderfull to type lying down, not having to worry about back problems."

Laptop Table Review - Jason -

"The LAPTOP LAIDBACK did indeed arrive safe and sound. I absolutely love the product. It will greatly speed the recovery of my herniated disk: sitting aggrevates the injury terribly so working while flat on my back will bring great relief and increase my productivity. Thanks for the excellent product!"

Laptop Table Review - LM – California

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Your product is terrific. My husband has been in bed for 2 months and just came home from the hospital where he had 2 back surgeries. He is now in a hospital bed at home and the only thing that has lifted his spirts and made things easier for him is your LAPTOP LAIDBACK. Thank you for a great product that is easy and comfortable to use and transport. Its even an attractive design. Thank you again. You made my husbands life easier and in turn mine."

Laptop Desk Review - Fred - Pennsylvania

"I have now had the opportunity to try the laptop table that you recently sent to me. I find it very useful. I have been suffering from an orthopaedic problem which makes it very difficult for me to sit, and your table seems to provide me with the opportunity of working fairly comfortably while lying down."

Laptop Desk Review - Repeat Customer

I am a repeat customer. I love your laptop easel! It has allowed me to work (I'm a mechanical design engineer) when I've literally been flat on my back with lower back problems! So, besides it keeping me from going crazy (cabin fever), it's allowed me to earn money when I would otherwise have been burning up sick-leave!

Laptop Desk Review - CHARLES VA

This is my second purchase of your laptop desk - they are wonderful! For those of us w. bad backs or who use a laptop at the end of a long day, it's ALL ABOUT LYING DOWN. Also, I think your laptop desk would be great for those w. impaired vision who like to read in bed, as the desk can be made to comfortably hold the reading material and a magnifier at very close range.

Laptop Desk Review - RUTH --- ON

I can't tell you folks how pleased my husband and I are that we found this stand. We have been having trouble having children, and the stand keeps his laptop nice and airy. If we get pregnant I'll drop you another line!

This laptop stand is wonderful for Myalgic Encephalomyelitis patients or anyone else with severe orthostatic problems (eg. POTS); problems being upright or even sitting up for any length of time.

(M.E. is a severe infectious neurological disease which also causes cardiac insufficiency and severe POTS which means that patients are very limited in how active they can be physically, mentally and also with how long they can be upright or even sit.)

If you have severe orthostatic problems, whether you are bedbound or not, being on your computer while lying flat is just vital. Lots of us have no choice and are bedbound 99 to 100% anyway, but even if you aren’t so severely affected, it makes sense to type lying down and save your valuable daily minutes upright for other things that you can’t do lying down. More fun things, hopefully!

Another advantage of the stand is that it is so light. I have quite weak arms and can still lift it, for the few seconds it takes to lift it into place at least, with one hand! Being able to adjust the angle is also very handy, you can get the angles just right to fit your body and what position you want the computer in. It is a very clever design. Setting it up is easy and you just do it once and it hardly ever needs readjusting. It also tucks away neatly under a coffee table I have near my bed, when not in use.

I don’t know what I would do without my Laptop Laidback. I use it almost every day. I’m housebound and 99% bedbound and have been for 8 years. It is so hard. Without the LL, I don’t think it would be possible for me to spend anything like as long on my computer each week as I do. This gift of extra computer time…has changed my life really. It has been such a gift… and this laptop stand is a significant part of that. (Which is why I’m bothering to write such a long review, and why I recommend this product on my website so much. I’m just a big, big fan! It has made such a difference to my life.)

You do need to have some strength in your arms to lift them to type to use the stand… that is the only drawback with it for me (long periods typing hurt/spasm the muscles in my back that lift my arms)…..but unless you can touch type (and I can’t, and am too ill to learn sadly), unfortunately this is a problem that can’t be avoided.

I haven’t seen anything else would let me type lying down this way. I’m so grateful someone decided to make this product (thank you!). For people like me, it is really wonderful, and so vital.

It is slightly off topic but… I wish I could send a LL (along with a free laptop) to lots of my very ill M.E. friends. There is such a big difference between being housebound and very disabled and being housebound and very disabled but able to be on the computer for a small part of each day thanks to a set-up that allows quite comfortable lying down computer time. (Especially when you are too ill to use the phone, as many with M.E. are, including myself.) That small time spent communicating via the net can make a world of difference to your level of isolation etc., and so to your quality of life.

In other words, I highly recommend the Laptop Laidback! Especially to anyone that has to severely limit the time they spend upright due to illness.
