I don't disagree ... but for me it was just a 'meh, so my lap gets a bit hot, I just put soemthing between the MBP and my skin'. She didn’t say it was ‘ridiculous’ but ‘interesting’ … as in it is always interesting to see what will prompt folks to register.

I have a 17" MacBook Pro, for the record, on an Airdesk. Now there is something worth reviewing. $42... for a stick.

$42… for a stick.

I am not sure about your particular laptop, but MacBook Pros have vents on their bottom rear, and they can blow very HOT. Being able to raise the back of the laptop will indeed help with its ventilation. The added ergonomics is a bonus. Whether you choose to accomplish this combination of cooling and better ergonomics by purchasing a $42 solid aluminum stick that beautifully matches your MBP, or you choose to do it with a $10 piece of black plastic is a personal choice. I guess we know which one you would choose.

Even with a MBP however you get air circulating around the base of the unit and it will help cool it. VetPsychWars,

There are no vents on the bottom, they're on the sides. $42 for a stick? No way this is "worth it." If you had any credibility before, it's shot now. You have got to be kidding me.
