Currently I am writing on my thesis work, and since I have the Cushdesk no longer do me the longing for a few hours work hurt. The slightly tapered shape is a real advantage for the ergonomics, and because the notebook now comes more at eye level, it is for the eyes also less stressful.
I would like to mention that I'm a classic "bed-workers", so everything, kill in a semi-recumbent position. For this purpose the Cushdesk is perfect.
Another advantage is that you now have a stable support on the thighs and the notebook no longer waddled.
The pad itself has no built refrigeration units or the like, but it really adds to the ventilation of the notebook at. Before I had the pad was my laptop on the legs, which the air intake has stopped. With the acquisition of the pads and the continuous operation of the fan has stopped, he now jumps only from time to time short if it is really necessary times.
Another plus I have recently "discovered" is that you can use the pad on the sofa to excellent to read books or scripts that rubber lip holds the Leswerk on the spot! That's something I had not thought of when buying, and I think that's so beneficial that I'd even buy me now if there were still any laptops!
Overall it is a utensil that I would not have missed more no way, my girlfriend after a day of also bought because you have my loved it so much and is also highly satisfied.
Demensprechend I had long wondered whether I should remove the one star or not, but I made my decision for the following reasons:
1) As mentioned in previous reviews, the stopper rubber could be slightly higher. My laptop keeps it back good, but I could imagine that there are other devices which may here could use a little more "support".
2) The surface is somewhat vulnerable in terms what scratch pads. I put the pad once quickly to one side and the notebook gets caught in the slides and tilts, then it can easily happen that the black coating carries a scratch is then good to see, because under the black coating a lighter plastic was installed. The sensitivity is very comparable with car paint. In itself very resistant but if something pointed about it goes then there a scratch. For me this is rather insignificant as I understand the pad as workload and less than optical eye, and fall is where planed after all chips.
A great pad, strong buy recommendation!
