This is a multi position tray for laptops. It is designed to be very versitile on your perferred angle of your keyboard for your laptop. It has a couple of built in fans that help keep your laptop from over heating wtih extended use. Upon ordering this laptop table it came with the table, a side mount mouse tray, the 2 legs, some hardware to put it together, fan power cable, and an insturctions manual.
The tray does not come fully assembled when you order it. The legs snap into place on the bottom side of the tray. Once you snap those into place there are some areas to put a couple of small screws into the connection to insure stability. Once those are in place you have a plug that attaches to the underneath side of the tray to the fan housing. This is a simple jack plug and only one way to plug it in. From there it is adjusting to your needs on height of the tray and angle of the keyboard. There is a side mount mouse tray that you can attach to the side of the tray as well. I quickly decided that it was pretty much useless from my stand point with the mouse is almost as big as the tray. So I opted out on using the mouse tray. Total set up time was less then 10 minutes which included reading the instructions manual. The instructions manual does a pretty good job of making the assembly idiot proof. Step by step instructions with pictures to aid with the assembly. It is also offered in a few languages other then English.
Now to adjust the legs of the tray takes a little bit to get used to for sure. At each of the joints there is a full 360 motion of each joint so it is limitless on the angles you can set up for with this tray. There is a press in button at each joint that releases the arm and motion that you have to keep pressed in or it will lock back out as you are turning the joint. Once you have it to your desired position with legs I suggest wiggling the joints back and forth a little bit to make sure each one is securely locked into place. This is the trial and error part of the set up. It took me 3 adjustments on the legs to make it 100% comfrotable for me to use. It was a matter of setting up the legs and then setting the laptop on the tray and checking to make sure it was the right height and the keyboard angle was right. My first set up had the keyboard to high. The second found to much down angle making it a bit more difficult to type on a downhill. My thrid attempt got the right height but the keyboard was still a little bit to downhill for me to type in a comfortable position. One more quick adjustment and it was perfect.
Once everything was in place I put my laptop on the tray and into my lap. The bottom of the tray has a small raised edge to keep the laptop from sliding into your lap. As part of the hardware there are 2 plastic pieces that will slide on and your laptop will set against those versus just the metal frame.(included hardware) From there do not make the same mistake as I did. Plug in the fan cord to the bottom of the tray into the fan housing and then into the USB slot on your laptop for powering them. If try to plug it in after it is in your lap it can be a challenge much like Twister at the Nth level.
I use this for my old laptop because it has an issue of heating up and shutting down after a few hours of use. With this tray and the fans on the bottom that issue is completely gone and I can use the laptop for as long as I need with out any issues at all now. This makes it where I can still use my old laptop as my music player and download machine. If it pops a virus from a download it is no big deal I simply recover the drive and install my player from my flash drive and my music and laptop are golden again.
If you are looking for a good lap tray for your laptop this is one to consider for sure. It is made of aluminum alloy which makes it very light weight, it has super quiet fans to help cool laptops from over heating, and it can adjust to anyones comfort level. I would like to thank Skas marketing and affiliates for sending me this laptop tray to try out and share my opinion.
