My knee caps are about two inches too short.

Anybody else have this problem? When I put my laptop on my lap, which is its intended station, I invariably want to push it back further but my knobby knees stop it. Resting it on the knee caps doesn't work either because I have bony kneecaps and the laptop keeps slipping.

Maybe someone can make kneepads that will create a platform for laptops? Yeah! I want a piece of that action if someone puts the materials together.

You can get a laptop tray at any office supply store - flat surface with a beanbag bottom. HopeHoops Jul 2012 #4

Doesn't that officially make me an old lady? Baitball Blogger Jul 2012 #5

No. I use one in bed to watch movies and my eldest daughter uses one at college. HopeHoops Jul 2012 #6

They're really nice and they also keep the heat off of your legs or the bed (lets the fan work better).
