£12.99 from play.com

i have one, they're OK...glad i have one, but i'm not shouting from the rooftops on how great they are. At 13 quid, it is worth the buy

The cheapest I've seen these was £9.99 from Dell several weeks ago on offer; or more recently £9.99 instore at Staples. I wouldn't like to have paid Belkin's RRP of £19.99 for what is essentially a shaped piece of covered foam. However it's simplicity belies it's usefulness and you'd be surprised how effective/comfortable/purposeful it really is.

Hope this helps.

I have one too. It's better than I thought it would be as it is more solid than I was lead to believe. Don't believe the advertising blurb though when they say you can store your mouse and powersupply, etc. in the gap in the middle - it's too narrow to be of any practicle use for normal sized mice/powersupplies.

As Alpesh said, for £13 it's worth it.

Your spot-on about the storage potential .... I'm not comfortable with placing my, already hot-enough, power supply into a relatively confined space............No jokes please sickos!!

I find mine great. Really takes the strain off your neck/back if you're using your machine for an extended period of time.
As per prev posts, got mine from Play

What about the airflow as my laptop gets hot quickly if the fan at the bottom of the laptop if blocked. Is this an issue with this product?

I was worried about this as my laptop is the same, but there is next to no give, so it's just like resting your laptop on a tray or something.

What are they like for using on your knee? I currently use one of those trays with like a bean bag thing on the back, whenever ive seen cushtops advertised is says/shows them being used on the bed or floor.

I must admit, I mainly use mine on my bed too, but I've used it on my lap as well and it was fine. It does feel a little slippy on certain materials though, although not slippy enough to slide off or anything.
