Pyramat set to release Lap Blaster laptop speaker system

You might recognize the name Pyramat for its line of rump-shaking gaming chairs, but the West Coast company is about to branch out to the gamer on the go with the new Lap Blaster USB speaker system. The flat speaker pad can hold most laptops up to 17 inches in size, and also features an iPod dock and wrist rest. We're a little skeptical of Pyramat's claims that the two LED-illuminated 4-watt speakers can provide a "personal home theater experience," especially since it looks like they'll be behind the screen when the lid's open, but we'll hear how much $129 buys you when the Lap Blaster drops in late August or so.

You have nothing to worry about. If it is anything like my Pyramat, the built-in sub will die in a matter of months (your "family jewels" are on their own until then...)

Wow, a "personal home theater experience".

*Shoves ear up to speaker in order to hear music*

Yeah, really personal.

What purpose does this thing serve? When you're at home, you can place your laptop on a real desk. When you're traveling, you probably don't want to lug around a giant plastic pad that's bigger than your laptop. Besides, laptops already have crappy speakers and blue LEDs. What else does this thing do that a slab of plywood can't?

and when your traveling, no one else wants to hear your music.
