I've Got Issues. Laptop Issues.

If you’re anything like me, you spend more hours on your computer than off. And even though I love my laptop, there are some things that drive me batty.

stripFor starters I hate how I can’t sit my laptop on my lap. It gets way too hot, way too fast. I mean why call it a LAPtop if it wasn’t designed for your lap? I guess that’s why the geniuses at Belkin came out with a Laptop Cooling Strip.

This gummy cooling pad (which is dishwasher safe!) sits under the back of your computer, lifting it up so that it can breathe. Now every time I want to check my email I don’t have to change into pants.

The other thing that I would fix about my laptop is the built-in track pad. I agree not having to lug around a mouse is nice. However, after a couple hours online my thumb starts to cramp up from double-clicking so much.

This compact and colorful mouse connects easily to your computer’s USB, has a retractable cord, and even has my favorite, a scroll wheel. If Belkin keeps this up, there’s not going to be anything left to complain about.

[Editor's note: I'm a big fan of this Little Red Wireless Laptop Mouse. I haven't used a laptop mouse in years.]

  1. The retractable mouse is the most brilliant invention since the Internet itself. I think I’ll have my assistant click your link and purchase one. Yes, I shall do that. It would be a business expense. Why not? It’s getting toward the end of the year and I need to eat into my profits as much as I can anyway, make some capital improvements and so forth. Yes, a retractable mouse… what a splendid idea!

    Bookmarked you. Very cool.
