Let me tell ya, this TrekBoard Laptop Desk ain’t just a desk—it’s a patriotic piece of leg-saving magic. I snagged the Uncle Sam version, and I’ll be dogged if it doesn’t look like it was handcrafted by Uncle Sam himself. The presentation box alone made me stand at attention, and they even tucked in a heartfelt letter like you’d just been inducted into some high-falutin’ laptop society.

Now, I ain’t no gamer, but I’ve been flyin’ Microsoft Flight Sim since Version 1 when you had to pop in a cassette tape into your Tandy computer. Version 2023 finally sent my old laptop to an early retirement, so I got myself a snortin’ MSI gaming rig. Problem is, that thing runs so hot when I'm flyin' it could double as a branding iron. Even with the cooling fan goin’ full warp, the heat coming off it was hot enough to bake biscuits—and with a serious laptop cooling fan, don’t even get me started on trying to balance that setup on your lap. One wrong angle and it slides off like it’s greased with bacon fat.

So when I’m not doin’ barrel rolls over Key West in FlightSim, I don’t need full-blast cooling. That’s where this TrekBoard comes in. It gives just enough elevation to keep me from gettin’ flash-fried thighs while keepin’ the laptop grounded.

Only hitch? I ordered one about an inch shy all around my laptop. That’s on me, not TrekBoard. Next time I’d go for the next size up so my laptop ain’t sittin’ on the edge like a cat eyein’ a jump.

Still, I reckon TrekBoard sees me as more than just a buyer—they see me as a fellow traveler tryin’ to keep his gear cool and his dignity intact. Your lap (and your sense of style) will thank you for pickin’ one up.

For normal sized people with normal sized laptops, doing normal computer things:). Since I'm Abnormal (wait, that came out wrong!!) hehe, what I MEANT to say was that I'm Tall, I'm Big, and I use 17"-18" laptops, soooo, this board clearly wasn't meant for me:) Now if I Was "normal sized" this board could solve a lot of problems, trying to game (I mean 'work') on a laptop while holding it in your lap, could be REALLY uncomfortable...this would solve that. Further, since I got the Pebbles one, I can imagine 'working' on my laptop seated in a plane, on my way to a sea side/lake side/river side vacation and feeling an approaching state of serenity right up until I landed :) Not a bad way to anticipate your vacation:) BUT, it's not wide enough to cover MY lap, nor large enough to hold my laptops...SOOO,

I'm still going to give it 5 stars for execution, and construction; and recommend it for NORMAL people:)

The TrekBoard Laptop Desk has an excellent build quality. It is lightweight, very thin, yet sturdy. We ordered the carbon fiber/extra-large version. The extra large comfortably fits a MacBook Pro 13", but with no real room for anything else (like a mouse). Because of its size, it fits well in my laptop backpack. Our main issue is that the board slides around on your lap. It would be good if one side of the board was made of a material that would keep it better in place on your lap.

We really like that it is a well made product and that it is made in the USA.

This is a high-quality laptop desk. A very stiff aluminum that is very lightweight, much lighter than I thought it was going to. I have a high-power gaming laptop that puts out lots of heat and this kept anything below the laptop desk cool whether your legs or a tabletop.

I thought the color and the printing were outstanding and really added to the quality feel. Both sides are useable with one most basic black and the other side I went with the pebble stone.
The XL was just enough for my 15.6inch laptop with only a little bit extending from the edges. This means I can bring it with me in most cases I have to carry my laptop. And it is light enough that it doesn’t add much to my carriage.

Overall, it isn’t cheap, but it is quality and works exactly like it should. It is very thin and lightweight, allowing me to use it and carry it with me.

My favorite place to work is at home, sitting with a throw blanket in my recliner with my cat while drinking coffee. Before getting this Trekboard, I was using a cutting board under my laptop to both ensure my computer could breathe and guard my legs from the heat of my laptop. This is quite an improvement! It is lightweight and stable. I also love the cat design -- it looks just like my kitty! It would be easy to throw into a laptop bag and take with me without adding much weight. (I'm unlikely to do this since I put my computer on a desk or table at work.) Be sure to read the dimensions before ordering yours. I have a 14" laptop. The listing suggests a medium for a 14" laptop, but that would have been cutting it close for my Inspiron. I got an extra large, which is a little big, but leaves room for my phone or a remote.
