Coolest Laptop Pillow Ever!

Check this out.  Is this not the coolest laptop pillow you’ve ever seen?  From Intelligent Forms Design, who’s philosophy is to “provide unique lifestyle tools that merge environmentally responsible values with innovative performance and aesthetic impact”, this is a design company shooting straight for my heart.  Being environmentally responsible doesn’t have to hurt and it should be just as cool as trashing the earth the way we have been.

I found these when Googling for a solar charger for my Macbook Pro.  The small Canadian company that makes these pillows also makes a solar “lounge table”.  Essentially it’s a solar coffee table that charges all of your electronics from cell phones to laptops.  The laptop pillows (there are three designs) are all made with sustainable materials and are designed to be highly functional.  The above design keeps the heat off your legs while allowing for cooling ventilation.  The “log” design holds your laptop in place and even gives you a wrist rest for comfort.  Smart, sexy, functional, and responsible.  What’s not to love?  But you know what I love most about this company?  They use a Mac to model their goods.  Because Macs are sexy, that’s why.

    That is cool. Are the pillows all attached? I assume they are. The only thing that I don’t like about it is that it doesn’t offer a surface. I am sure it is ergonomically better than just sitting on your lap but a surface to set things on would be handy. I will have to check out the solar table. hmmmm.

    They don’t list their prices so I have a feeling they are expensive. Especially the solar table. I was looking for a small solar charger so that I could work outside this summer.

    Work outside? Is that at home - within range, for example, of an extension cord?

    Nah, I’m talking like on the Village Green in a neighboring college town that has wireless everywhere, or sitting outside on a cafe patio.
