1. Laptop Table With Fan

When you’re working, you don’t want to have to think about your working tools because it breaks your focus and flow.

Before getting a laptop table with a fan, my flow of thinking was constantly interrupted by my concern about the whirr of my overheating laptop Macbook, or I’d have to adjust my posture because my laptop wasn’t high enough.

When I got the adjustable-height laptop table with a fan, I didn’t have to think about my tools anymore and could enter a blessedly uninterrupted flow state.

How it works — you sit on a recliner, bed, wherever you like to work. Place the table over your lap (I ended up falling in love with one with legs I could adjust), adjust the legs (if you choose a desk that has legs) to the height you desire. If your laptop computer tends to overheat, plug in the USB from the table (which powers the fan to help keep your computer cool) into your computer, put your computer on the desk and you’re good to go.

The fan option is great if you have a laptop, like my Macbook, which is prone to overheating. Oftentimes I don’t even plug in the fan and just use it as a table so I can work from my recliner.

There are many choices (the link is to a whole selection you can choose from based on your needs): some with legs, some without, some with fans, some without, some with space for a mousepad and/or drink, some without.

The particular one I had gotten a few months ago is no longer available but this one looks a lot like it. Adjusting the legs was a big pain but luckily I only had to do it once, and have been using it every day since.

2. Doodle Boards
