No one wants to cook their gonads while trying to work on a laptop computer without a desk by sitting it directly on the lap. Working on a notebook sitting on your lap is also uncomfortable for most people because you need to look down to see the screen.

Belkin has announced a new laptop desk called the CushDesk that is designed to raise the screen of the notebook to a more comfortable level when working without a desk. The device is made with a solid molded top to provide a ridged work surface and has a lip on the front to keep your notebook from slipping around.

In addition to raising the screen of your notebook, the CushDesk is also designed to help keep the notebook cool my allowing air to circulate and keeping vents from being blocked by clothing. The CushDesk is large enough for notebooks with screens up to 17-inches and sells for $29.99.
