Hot Idea for a Cool Laptop

We regularly used our laptop computer on the dining room table.

But I was concerned that there wasn't enough airspace between the tablecloth and the fans on the bottom of the computer to keep it from overheating. Most of the stands I found for my 17-inch computer cost more than 25 dollars. One day I noticed an unused, 12 by 15 inch cooling rack in the kitchen closet. The laptop fit perfectly on its new "stand." It looks like it was made for it. It rises a 1/4" off the table, provides more than enough circulation and I can even feed the wires under the computer. These cooling racks come in a large variety of sizes and heights, so it's easy to find one perfect for your laptop's dimensions. You can pick one up at a discount store for around five dollars.
