Thumbs up Project Lazy Laptop Operator

Some months ago I embarked on a crazy scheme. Being lazy I prefer to sit in front of the telly with the laptop on my lap.
This presented 2 problems. 1. It gets hot (& I believe it affect the sperm count if you're a man) and 2. The cat pushes in between (doesn't like the competition LOL)

So I started this & never finished. Now I'm motivated to complete the damn thing!

Here are some pics. I'll post more once I've got the counterbalance sorted. Need 6kg to hold the laptop @ 2.5kg. Currently have a 12kg lift weight lying on the base which the wife keeps complaining about. LOL

this is such a great idea... I would just put my keyboard and mouse on this because I have my computer hooked up to my 42" and I can sit on the couch and be on the computer haha

Thats cool. I like the swivel! I have just a lap board to keep it off my lap and cool. Gets kinda annoying finding a place to put the bean bag bottom down.

That's cause I'm a lefty. LOL

But then it's reversible. For righty's - just move to the other side of the couch! LOL

EDIT: And Benedict1337 - my buddy tred to sit on the laptop (whilst I'm trying to work mind you) but came off second best! never tried it again. LOL Now she squeezes in between me & the laptop.
