Rancho Cucamonga, CA--March 8, 2005--LapWorks™ Inc., the market leader in ergonomic mobile computing accessories that reduce the heat in laptops, today announced Laptop Legs™ for PC notebooks and Mac Feet™ for Mac notebooks. The sturdy, easy-to-attach laptop legs (2 per notebook computer) elevate the back of the laptop for improved typing ergonomics and increased cooling and ventilation underneath the laptop. They fit all standard notebooks. The legs sell for $24.95 retail in packages of four (two sets) each of either the Laptop Legs or Mac Feet. The Laptop Legs are PC gray and the Feet are Mac white. Until April 30 the packages are available for $19.95 only from LapWorks at www.lapworks.net.
“During the past few years, manufacturers have designed out the flip-down laptop legs which once came on most laptops,” said Jose Calero, LapWorks’ president. “The legs propped up the back of a laptop allowing air circulation underneath. Even though a good idea, the legs kept breaking. As a result, the manufacturers were receiving back perfectly good laptops to perform warranty work on an inexpensive component.” Calero added, “We’ve developed a durable solution for these missing feet.”
Today’s high performance laptops create excessive heat, which, if not dissipated, can cause sluggish performance, screen freezing and a reduced life span for the computer. An operating laptop sitting atop a flat surface will not only damage the laptop if not ventilated properly, but also can damage table/desk finishes. The flip-down Laptop Legs/Mac Feet elevate the rear of a laptop to a choice of two heights – 1” or 1 3/8” – cooling the laptop and protecting the surface it is resting on.
The durable, polycarbonate plastic legs are easy to apply. Just peel the adhesive backing and press into place on the bottom of any notebook computer - two per notebook. A set of two Laptop Legs or Mac Feet weighs only one quarter of an ounce. The Legs/Feet are designed to support a constant weight load of 15 pounds indefinitely. They carry a one-year warranty from date of purchase .
Customers can also use the Legs/ Feet to elevate desktop keyboards, desktop telephones, calculators, etc.
