While you might be manly enough to use a notebook on your lap, your manliness will eventually disappear. ;)

Wow that article is funny. =)

I'm not sure if you posted this in jest or not, but there is a pretty large epidemic going on under the radar. It's probably ok because there are too many people in the world anyways, but still. I also have absolutely no proof that there is any correlation between laptop heat and this problem... but if you just look at male anatomy and take 15 seconds to consider why it is how it is, well it doesn't take a genius to put it all together.

Putting any laptop "there" is a terrible terrible idea. Lets just call it "notebook" now... leave it off your laps guys. Get an iPad for the sofa, bed, under a tree. Use a table for your notebook.
 
I use my mbp as a 'laptop' by using the heatshift thermapack thingy for the macbook pro. Your thighs won't feel the heat, the mbp heats up less and all is good.

When compared to reviews online it seems the similar product offered by targus is prone to leaks :eek:
I've been using this one for quite some time and no problems have surfaced till date -- except that in the Indian summer, the pad takes a a whole lot longer to reset its state.
