LapWorks Laptop Desk UltraLite review

Running the test without the laptop desk, the CPU got as hot as 80.8 degrees. After a cool-down period, we ran the test again, this time with the laptop sitting on the LapWorks Laptop Desk UltraLite. The highest temperature recorded during the second test was 78.8 degrees, a fairly minor decrease. Interestingly, this was the same exact temperature as another laptop desk from the same manufacturer, the slightly larger and thicker LapWorks Laptop Desk 2.0.

We saw a much bigger drop, to 74.4 degrees, using the Xpad Laptop Desk, which leaves more of the laptop bottom's surface area exposed to the air.
