"Not quite up to task"
Pros: Lightweight, fits in case easily, mouse area
Cons: Too flimsy, seems to block fan, too small
Summary: I read many reviews on this item, but decided to make my own decision and try it since it was the only one available at Best Buy near me. Well, it does function but I'm not impressed. My laptop is a new HP dv9000 and I use it primarily for gaming, so I needed a mouse area which is another reason I bought this. I want the ability to sit on my couch and game away rather than a chair (I work at a desk all day as it is). I had previously made a make-shift lapdesk by taking a top off of a wooden t.v. dinner tray and it worked great except it was too small and kind of heavy. This Targus item only seemed to work well and give good ventilation to the laptop fan when it was on top of the wood table top, which defeats the whole purpose. It does have a mouse area, which is sufficient for a Trackball mouse (so you don't have to actually move the mouse), but would be better for a smaller and lighter laptop than mine. To their credit, the package does say it is for laptops up to 5lbs I think, and mine is like 7.5 or somewhere in that range. I just don't think most people are going to be satisfied with this product unless you are strictly doing word processing or spreadsheet type work in an airport or in a vehicle. It lacks a lot of integrity, and basically, a lot of users need a larger surface to work with.
