If this doubles as a bag for your laptop...points there. If not it should be much smaller so you could easily put it in your existing bag.

Bag as carry for laptop is near twice the height it really needs to be...points subtracted.

The little external pouch for your probablyWontFit cellphone? Points.

This could be quite handy given the above were met.]]>Jan 16th 2008 9:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/the-lapdome-tent-shaped-sunscreen-for-your-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/the-lapdome-tent-shaped-sunscreen-for-your-laptop/
i have a hoodman for my laptop, does a great job in the field shading the screen from the sun and from prying eyes if you know what i mean ;)

here s a link that shows what a hoodman is - which is better and more portable then the tent :

If you need to use a laptop (or other equipment with LCD) outside in bright sunlight this really is the way to go.

1) Don't use your woman, sunbathing by the pool as your primary marketing tool. Rethink your strategy.

2) Get rid of all the LOGO patches sewn on it. If someone wants to know more about that monstrosity, they'll ask.

3) Get someone who knows what they're doing to clean up your website. Those pictures are mostly awful.


How bout just make a "briefcase-style" laptop bag that has collapsable sides and roof when it is opened 90 degrees. That would look waay better than this thing.]]>Jan 16th 2008 10:15PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/the-lapdome-tent-shaped-sunscreen-for-your-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/16/the-lapdome-tent-shaped-sunscreen-for-your-laptop/

1) The guy is a superstar in porn flicks (or ought to be), or
2) He popped about a dozen of those E.D. pills just prior to the shoot, and should have been seeking medical attention instead of peering at a laptop, or
3) He is the world's biggest geek and gets really, REALLY turned on by geek gear, or
4) Someone did some photoshopping to TRY to create a subliminal effect, but doesn't quite understand the concept of doing it subtly so that viewers don't notice what was done (it isn't subliminal if you actually notice it)!

Of course, it's always possible that the fabric and the light just coincidentally converged to create that effect, and nobody noticed until the ad was published... yeah, sure, that's what it is (wink, nudge). The headline on this piece should have been, "Does that LapDome turn you on, or are you just glad to see me?" (With apologies to the late Mae West)
