Rancho Cucamonga, CA---March 5, 2003---LapWorks™ Inc., producers of the Laptop Desk™ portable lap desk for notebook computer users, today announced two additional accessories that support mobile computing: the Nite-Key-Lite™ and 4 Port USB Hub. They are $19.95 purchased separately. Or, purchasing either one with a Laptop Desk brings the accessory price down to $10. (For example, the Laptop Desk v2.0 at $29.95 plus one accessory at $10 totals $39.95.) All accessories support Windows 98 or better or Mac OS 8.5 or better, and USB 1.1 or later.

Nite-Key-Lite:
LapWorks' keyboard light is an 18" serpentine light with the most rigid cable on the market. Unlike other keyboard lights, it stays put once positioned. Its connector is designed to fit tightly into any USB port, further eliminating “wiggle." The Night-Key-Lite illuminates the keyboard with two soft white LED bulbless lights which last up to 8,000 hours, and draws no more power from a notebook battery than 90 seconds per hour of laptop life. It is long enough to reach over the top or around the sides of most computer screens. No external power source is necessary.
4 Port USB Hub:
LapWorks' Hub enables one USB port to connect up to four devices. It operates with Microsoft's Open HCI or Intel's Universal HCI. No power adapter is necessary because power is drawn
from upstream. The 2.5 oz. 4 Port USB Hub supports low speed (1.5 Mbps) and high speed (12 Mbps) devices, and features built-in over-current protection.
Other Accessories:
LapWorks' Optical USB Mini Scroll Mouse is 40% smaller than desktop mice, offers plug-n-play simplicity, and is accurate on most surfaces. Offered at $24.95, or only $15 when purchased with a Laptop Desk, for a total of $44.95.
Expected mid-March is LapWorks' custom-designed Mouse Pad, which will snap onto the Laptop Desk, extending its length by 3" and giving users a dedicated mouse work surface.
LapWorks' Flagship Product - The Laptop Desk:
“Heat is your laptop's worst enemy, and constant overheating can shorten its life," said Jose Calero, president of LapWorks. “That's why I designed the Laptop Desk with heat-conducting polycarbonate plastic which resists heat build-up, and built-in ventilation channels which allow hot air to escape, cooling a laptop by 15% to 20%."
The Laptop Desk v1.0 ($24.95) serves as a lap desk. V2.0 ($29.95) doubles as a desktop stand, which, when folded over, elevates the screen and inclines the keyboard to one of five ergonomic typing angles.
Both versions span the entire lap, create ample workspace for the largest portables while leaving room for accessories, and prevent "hot leg." Lightweight (1 lb., 6 oz.) and thin, it fits right next to the notebook in any computer bag when folded. Non-skid rubber surfaces keep portables from slipping.
