My Table-Mate Arrives

A little over two weeks ago I ordered a pair of Table-Mate II. I had seen them advertised on TV and they looked like they would be handy. This morning I received an email they had been ship and UPS dropped them off this afternoon. I’m rather pleased. They seem fairly well made – although they tell you not to put more than 50 Lbs on them. I find it easier to use my laptop on it instead of putting the laptop on my lap.

My only complaint is there is a small ridge around the edge. It is probably to prevent liquids from running off. But I find it a bit uncomfortable on my forearm when I use the mouse. The mouse glides across the plastic surface nicely.

I've seen these also and they look nice. I had something similiar a few years ago, but it fell apart after a few months. It wasn't as sturdy as this one. It is difficult to find one that works well with a laptop.

I find it works well with my laptop. As I indicated, my only complaint is the ridge around the edge of the table.

Have you tried using a wrist rest like for the key and or mouse? That may set your hand in a better position so the edge doesn't bother you. Just a suggestion.
