Reviews for Rain Design iLap Stand for 15.4" MacBook Pro

I just bought this for my wife for Christmas, and she loves it so far. It's helped her posture, keeps her 13" MacBook nice and cool, and is comfortable for laying down. She hasn't had it for very long so the issue other people have reported regarding the foam padding hasn't come up... yet.

The one problem with this product is that the padding blocks the IR receiver on her mac, so the Apple Remote I also got her for Christmas doesn't work when it's on the stand. Small problem, but it confuses my wife greatly.

All in all, I'd definitely recommend this others.

A couple other people said that the laptop doesn't stay on the stand, but that can't be true if you use the four clear rubber/plastic pads they give you to stick onto the stand. Also, people have said that the wrist pad falls off, there's a 12-inch strip of Velcro holding it on, it has never come close to coming off.

Overall, its an awesome product that doubles as a desktop stand, as well as being useful on your lap. Its light, looks good, keeps your lap and laptop cool, and for those of you who don't want to scratch the bottom of your laptop, it will solve this problem too.

I wasn't looking for something like this when I accidentally came across it on the Apple Store online. I was instantly drawn to it's promise to keep the heat of the laptop off of your actual lap, and it definitely holds true to it's purpose! I use my laptop while sitting on my couch 90% of the time, and the heat often becomes uncomfortable. This iLap keeps all of the heat off of your legs, and the pad are very comfortable and cool. The only complaint I have is that the front pad needs to be handled a little bit carefully, or it could come off unintentionally. This is not a problem, however, because the benefits far outweigh this one minor possibility!!! I also like the fact that the pads both swivel slightly so that the iLap adjusts with you as you move to make it even more comfortable. I highly recommend this to anyone who uses their laptop on their...LAP!

I really like this product, it totally helps my laptop stay cool and comfy on my lap or at my office. I wish they could come up with a way for the lap pad to stay on and in place better. All in all I would recommend. Maybe a little work on the slipping off of the lap pad and also if they could make it lay flatter for traveling. When I travel I cant get it in my bag and would like to take it everywhere with me. Like it a lot.

Great angle for typing; hands and arms are comfortable for long periods of time. the only thing wrong with it is that it is hard to stow away in a laptop bag, which makes it hard to use when not at home. Overall good though

It's expensive but it does what it's meant to do and it looks good when not hidden away underneath your MBP.

Works pretty good, but there is nothing to hold the laptop in place.

The iLap is really the best thing I have bought for my laptop. I no longer have to worry about moving my computer around so it doesn't heat up. It seems to filter out the heat of the computer except if you have it on for hours and hours, but it's not touching me. The removable wrist/lap cushion is the only minus I would say because it's a little akward taking it on and off.

I don't know how I lived this long with out this nifty thing and I am going to give these out as presents because I think they are so great.

I really like to use the iLap whether it is on my lap or the table. The rubber dots really do a very good job securing the laptop to the iLap. The only problem I have is the front cushion. It detaches very easily and the velcro seems to be in the wrong spot to keep it secure. I have removed the cushion and it works great for keeping my legs cool. The cushion is comfortable and nice for resting my wrists on. I do wish it stayed on so I could enjoy that benefit. That and the price are the only reasons I wouldn't give it 5 stars.

After running some processor-intensive programs I found that after an hour or so the glue on the silicon nubs that rest between the iLap surface and your MBP start to slip. After a few months the glue is completely gone. WIthout the nubs my MBP slowly slides off the stand. Nothing a little superglue won't fix, though.

Very comfortable initially on lap or on coffee table. Highly recommended.
