Rancho Cucamonga, CA---April 29, 2003---LapWorks™ Inc. today announced the MouzPad™
attachment to their flagship product, the Laptop Desk™. This snap-on, rigid plastic accessory increases the Laptop Desk's mousing surface for notebook users who prefer an external mouse. The MouzPad creates a 6" by 9" mouse-friendly work area, yet extends the Laptop Desk by only 3". It works for right or left-handed users, and both v1.0 and v2.0 of the Laptop Desk. Available only from LapWorks' website (www.lapworks.net), it's $9.95, or $4.95 when purchased with a new Laptop Desk.
Though the MouzPad snaps on easily, LapWorks designed it so heavy-handed mouse users won't inadvertently snap it off. To remove, users simply lift up the outer edge of the MouzPad until it snaps away. “Getting the release weight just right was critical," said Jose Calero, president of LapWorks. “We've been through several prototypes and determined two pounds of lift pressure was optimal."
The MouzPad is thin (1/8" thick), lightweight (3.7 ounces), and made of the same durable black polycarbonate material as the Laptop Desk. There are three utility holes and three notches on each side. The holes are for pencils and pens. The notches enable users to weave their mouse cable through them to keep the mouse from falling when they release it to type on the keyboard.
About 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 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 on every surface keeps portables from slipping.
The Laptop Desk also supports Tablet PCs, PDAs with external keyboards, and projectors.
LapWorks also offers other accessories that support mobile computing, such as a non-sagging keyboard light, an optical USB mini scroll mouse, and a 4 port USB hub.
