Logitech Lapdesk N700 - Review

Buy Logitech Lapdesk N700 online

One problem with laptops these days is that they heat up quite a bit. In fact, keeping one on your lap for a long time might even cause minor burns. This is why laptop stands were invented. Logitech has come up with a laptop stand, Lapdesk N700, which is apt for display sizes up to 16". 


The difference between this device and many other similar ones is its multi-capabilities. As far as looks are concerned, Logitech has kept things simple with a white plastic upper deck. The bottom surface has a really comfortable cushion which is almost like a grey mesh-like layering. 


The upper deck of this device is white with perforations. These are to allow sound to penetrate from the 2" speakers beneath them. And, that is the first of its many extra features. The next special feature is the vent in the central area which houses a cooling fan. There is an intake area for the cooling fan at the bottom. On the side of the pad, you get buttons which control the fan and the volume of the speakers. 
All you have to do is simply plug the device’s USB cable into your notebook and it’s set for action. Once the laptop is placed on top and the device is switched on, you can barely hear the fans buzz. What it does provide is a basic flow of air which is good enough to make sure that the laptop stays at a comfortable temperature. 
But what’s quite surprising is its two-inch speakers which are way better than many of the in-built ones in laptops. Not only are they loud, they are quite clear as well. Instead of going for an external speaker, we would suggest that you pick up one of these. 
The cushioning, with its mesh outer surface, is perhaps the most comfortable feature ever seen in a laptop pad. And, the fact that it doesn’t have any external power cable, but a USB port, becomes even handier. 


But, on the flip side, it does eat up your laptop’s battery life to quite an extent. For instance, an HP Elitbook which when fully charged gave us a battery life of about six hours, came down to 3.5 hours when plugged on to this device. 
I feel that the N700 is a very innovative product and with time and further research, Logitech can better it. 
Cons: Its battery consumption and the weight. 
In fact, we wouldn’t mind a sliding keypad along with a mouse to boot next time. It would be welcome if they stick to the current price, which is quite low and affordable.
