Lap dance on the Lapdesk

The Speaker Lap Desk N700, is the name of the part, represents a combination of notebook support, integrated speaker system and laptop fan. What surprised me after opening the package, which were not just limited extent. I had initially imagined including a sleek, lightweight boards. But this is not so. With dimensions (WxDxH) 525 mm x 287 mm x 80 mm (or 40 mm on the flat side) and a weight of just over 2 Kg it is to be designated neither a flyweight still small inconspicuous.

The holder is made of sturdy plastic acting. Their padded back is made of a synthetic fabric not to be specified. From the back protrudes a relatively small USB cable, which connects between the notebook and the speaker system (2 watt maximum output). Unfortunately, this is firmly connected to the holder and can not be exchanged for standard cable. This means that no longer can be used in the event of cable defect the speakers. The drivers will be installed automatically once connected and the device is ready for use after only a few seconds. Setting up and Connecting external speakers omitted, tangling is largely avoided. A completely cable-free Bluetooth solution does not offer the Lapdesk.

Compared to the built-in speakers of my Acer Timeline notebooks, which sound extremely squeaky and tinny, ask the speakers built here a distinct sonic upgrade. The sound is much louder and spatial. Favorable Jukebox for PA entire rooms to the unit in my view, is not (at best a temporary solution). Who is primarily interested in a good sound and less of a notebook holder and, moreover, mostly residing in the same premises, which is recommended at this point following Bluetooth speaker Parrot Boombox. This box is actually the sound of individual rooms and is comparable in terms of performance in about Major Kompaktstereoanlangen. The difference is particularly evident in the Lapdesk bass and midrange. In fact, I had the impression that the music is playing, especially on the back at the sound of Lapdesklautsprecher. So I took the bass and vibration especially on the thighs, and less with the ears was. Nevertheless leave the Logitech Speaker a positive overall impression, as long as they are used for their intended purpose.

If the speakers do not even needed that USB cable can attach to a holder provided. This works well so far properly. A flap behind which the cable itself could completely stowed would, however, I liked much better. The holder is in fact on the right outer edge immediately adjacent to the practical high / low volume / mute keys anbracht. This cable is not only in constant sight, it's not quite as safely stowed, as would be the case with one stone.

Below the volume control is still a slider with which one the notebook fan and can be switched off. This actually tinkers amazingly softly to himself (according QuickLook 31 dBA). Small Luftpölsterchen ensure that the notebook does not rest directly on the Lapdeskoberfläche what airflow favors. This one has also thought of Netbookbesitzer because the pad can be put in different levels of slots. Unlike the so-called Logitech Comfort Lapdesk has this time also thought of fold-out "stopper". Thus, the slipping of the notebook is avoided due to the slight inclination of the pad.

Conclusion:

Overall, I am quite satisfied with the device. My criticisms I want to add yet:

- The angle of inclination of the device can not be adapted to personal needs. In some
Situations is the notebook just to be flat.

- With more than 2 kilos, it is not exactly a lightweight. When we look to for the notebook 2-3
Kg, then it is already at a total weight of 4-5 kg. Because of their design not Lapdesk
has feet, that the entire weight on your thighs. That may not initially overly
interfere, but with increasing life I felt the weight as something unpleasant.

- The dimensions could turn out a bit lower. The space for the guns by grid
Speaker is yet rated quite generous, especially when considering that the actual
Speaker only occupy a small part of the barred area. With 8 cm at the thickest
Point is the Lapdesk not necessarily be described as flat. As Route / everywhere solution
it is not suitable anyway.

Positive the consistently solid finish, the extremely quiet and also still disconnectable fan, the existing volume control as well as the generally good sounding speakers turned out. So overall a quite satisfactory device. For four star I find only the current price of just 70 something inappropriate. But one would be able to integrate perfectly still one or the other specialties (such. As Bluetooth for absolute freedom cable).
