Over at TechDigest comes this nice laptop pillow, to not only stop your laptop digging into your legs but help keeping it cooler and not burning your legs. TechDigest raves about the log one (pictured below) which I like a lot for its colour and playfulness. However it’s not the only one – check out the whole range – the variety is what I like, something for those who prefer the functional as well as design lovers.

Laptop pillows are nothing new – PCWorld blogs about a nice design for those laden with accessories – you can pop your mouse or external drives & cables into the pocket beneath. Of course you don’t have to splash the cash – you can go with a DIY approach instead – the comments section on this Lifehacker post is a great selection of homebrew laptop rest solutions. So whatever you want, if you’re suffering from a hot or heavy laptop on your knees, there’s no reason to put up with it at all.
