The Original LapDesk Company® is a family owned and run business, providing mobile workspace solutions that conform to the lap for maximum stability and superior comfort, since 1975.

The new generation of mobile computers and the internet have created a new way of life for our planet. We have mobile businesses, students, entertainers, etc. As laptop computers lead the way for the mobile electronics industry, the need for laptop accessories grows with it.

By design, laptop computers are mobile, but not ergonomic. A laptop needs to be placed on a smooth surface, not directly on a lap. Without proper ventilation, the heat generated by laptop computers can be harmful to both the device and it’s user. There are other concerns involving the posture and position a person must be situated in, in order to use a laptop without causing strain on wrists, shoulders, back, and eyes.

In solving these issues for consumers, combined with the niche that our company was founded on, comfort and stability in the lap, The Original LapDesk Company® continues to develop the best solutions for mobile electronics.

We believe that our LapGear® products are more essential than any other laptop accessory in the marketplace. LapGear® products reduce heat generated by laptops, keeping your lap safe and extending the life of your laptop!

History of the Lap Desk

Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence on a portable lap desk of his own design, but his LapDesk was lacking a very important function.
