AViiQ Portable Laptop Stand

Traveling with a laptop is a necessity for a lot of people, but having one just sit in your lap while you type isn't very ergonomic or comfortable. The AViiQ portable laptop stand is a pretty good solution for this.

Not only does it allow you to elevate the laptop and keep your lap from overheating, but it folds up crazy-thin – we're talking only 1/4" here – for easy storage. If you find yourself needing to prop the stand up on a surface other than your lap, it has four silicone feet to keep it from slipping around.
