LapDawg’s X-4 Laptop Table is Unique And Useful

LapDawg has introduced the X-4 Aluminum which converts from a flat, easy to store unit into a 20-in tall TV tray, a breakfast tray, or a laptop tray. Other configurations are possible as well.

The arms rotate 360°, operate with push buttons, and the joints auto-lock. The push buttons have degree marks so it is easy to obtain exact settings. Both sides of the anodized aluminum tray can be used. One side has a rubber stopper and the other has a curled bottom edge. The unit weighs 5.29 pounds. The MSRP is US$89.99. There is a life time warranty against defects.

The tray, which has an anodized aluminum surface with grooves to prevent slippage and overheating, is 15.25 x 9.5-in. Each arm is 12-in. There is an 18.25-in span between the arms.

Using the product. 

I followed the enclosed directions and put the X-4 into the TV tray, breakfast tray, and laptop tray configurations. Other than the fact that I can’t tell my left from my right, the different configurations were accomplished very quickly. The thing I liked best is the push buttons with the degree marks. There was no guessing required. The directions said put the first arm at 90°, I put it there and it locked in place.

Once each configuration was complete I found them to be sturdy, solid, and stable. Following are photos of three configurations.

The breakfast tray configuration can easily be modified to serve as a desktop stand for a laptop computer.

Do I recommend it? 

I do. At US$89.99 it is an expensive purchase, but it is well built and well designed and has multiple uses. It is the best version of this kind of product that I have seen.
