A "Must Have" for your laptop

I bought one of these at the MacWorld Expo in San Francisco for my wife. She complains about the heat her laptop produces. She fell in love with it right away, not only because it disipates the heat, but because it makes typing easier, due to the incline.
I quickly found myself using it when she was not, so I ordered one for myself.
This is a great product!

Does most of what I hoped

I like the Ilap; it appears to be well built and looks stylish. It even has a little bit of that Apple "unboxing" experience with the nice enclosing carton. It works well on the lap, as advertised. It is a bit of a hassle to remove the velcro pad to use the Ilap on the desktop (for the ergonomics) - not difficult, just a lot of velcro (which is good I suppose since it is less likely to wear out). However, my main motivation was to lessen the time the fans on my powerbook are on due to enhanced cooling but that has not been the case. The powerbook temperature is about the same using the Ilap. The aluminum Ilap does not actually contact the powerbook case because of the insulating rubber feet on the bottom of the computer so any cooling has to be convective. I guess the extra air space under the raised Ilap helps in that regard but I haven't noticed much difference compared to having the powerbook flat on the desk.
Anyway, I am using the Ilap all the time, even if I still have to listen to the whirring of the fans.

works

Nice for home use. Very comfortable on my lap although I prefer to use it without the front cushion. You really do need to put the provided non slip pads on to avoid a costly spill if your laptop has lost its own. Unfortunately, the laptop runs much cooler if it contacts the aluminum plate. I think much thinner pads might allow better cooling.
Pros:
nice construction.
very comfortable (rear hinged cushion), keeps lap cool.
Cons:
takes up too much space to be used on trips.
pricey.

Perfect MacBook accessory

Want to keep your MacBook cool? Well, maybe not cool, but cooler than just laying it on a table. If yes, then the iLap is for you.
Works. Elegant design.
My daughter likes to use her MacBook in bed and she thinks the iLap makes is much easier.
Highly recommended.

iLap

The iLap is a most wonderful product. Great design. Very comfortable. Now that I have it I wonder what I did without it. It keeps my lap cool and I can work on my computer so much longer because I don't get uncomfortable from the heat.
