I previously used another laptop tray that was wide enough to accommodate a 15” laptop plus mouse, however that became uncomfortable after a short time because its ventilation was poor... in fact, there was very little insulation between the tray and you. So, after looking around the web for a suitable replacement, I found the Lapinator Plus with Mousitizer, from Lapinator that had overall, good reviews.

There are two variants of the Lapinator, the first is 13” width and the second, the Lapinator Plus, 18” width, and is large enough to accommodate a 15” laptop with ease.

The Lapinator comes with tabs, as pictured above, that you can use to prop up those laptops that get too warm to aid ventilation. The Lapinator will warp if it gets too warm, but according to the provided directions this is a sign that the Lapinator is doing its job. Warping really is not big issue since the Lapinator will go back to its original shape once it has cooled down. Applying the tabs certainly improves the warping situation.

On top, the Lapinator’s non-slip surface ensures that your laptop won’t be sliding around, and I’ve never had any problem with this. On the underside, the Lapinator is well padded for comfort and helps further to keep heat away from your lap and legs.

The Mousitizer is an optional extra that slides on the side of the Lapinator and is surprisingly sturdy, I have no worries about it snapping off and breaking. The Mousitizer also comes with a sticky strip that can be placed around the edge of the mouse pad to prevent the mouse from failing.

To conclude, having used the Lapinator and Mousitizer for a few months I’ve found them very comfortable for prolonged periods and is effective at keeping heat away from the body. Sure, Lapinator doesn’t block all heat but is effective enough, unlike some alternatives out there. Definitely thumbs up.
