Although portable computers are referred to as laptops, it's rare that they are actually comfortable when used on your lap. Initially, it's fine but at a certain point, they start to heat up and that's bad news for your lap. Thankfully, Philips have come up with a solution for this quandary.
With more and more laptops on the market, and people buying them more than desktops, it's become pretty normal to just walk around your home with your laptop to find a different working position. If you are using you laptop on your lap, you'll get hot pretty quick. That's why Philips' Notebook CushionSpeaker is really cool. It makes using your laptop in bed or on the sofa a cinch. The CushionSpeaker has got a soft cushion on the bottom with a flat, hard surface on top. It also includes built-in speakers. Sounds pretty nice!
This product was just announced so prices haven't been revealed. We don't expect it to be very expensive. It's something convenient to have around. It lets you use your laptop in a bunch of different places that were just a bit uncomfortable before, due to the heat generated by your laptop. That being said, we found the product shots featuring women in spandex a bit strange. It looks like they are doing yoga. Why would someone use a laptop while doing yoga?

WTF is up with using sexualized images of women to sell computer equipment? It is random and disturbingly common.
i agree, it's offputting (to a woman at least, hah) and subtly disturbing. they are also following the trend of not showing the women's faces... great.
also... it's called a PILLOW. works great.
This could replace my current [bed/couch] set-up: cushioned lap tray, Cool Feet and headphones (to get stereo output), I'm almost in for it!
I'm not too happy for that usb cable though (I usually have both of my usb-sockets occupied, for bluetooth and readyboost).
And another con: it's not cooling the laptop, just protecting your lap from heat (so I would still use the Cool Feet).
@yolio/elementariion: Granted, the leaflet doesn't offer other humanly poses with this apparatus, but it's an editor's choice to publish. Although the pictures of women in semi-yoga positions with the thing are kinda odd, for me (woman, no yoga expierence) it's just an illustration for scaling the product in an environment with a human present.
wow. sometimes i wonder why some people read this blog of they're offended by the simplest of images. what's sexual about those pictures other than a fit woman wearing yoga-like clothing? she's not showing off her cleavage, sultry lips, revealing any skin, or doing anything even remotely sexual. yeah, maybe it's odd that someone doing yoga would be using their laptop, but geez, get over yourselves people.
