EasyChair WorkStation solves that whole "get out of bed" dilemma

It's time to take a long, hard look at where we're headed as a society. No, really -- we've got office chairs coming to kill comradeship, specially designed lapboards made to keep you sedentary for as long as humanly possible, and now we're looking at the perfect device for keeping Earthlings in bed for days on end. The EasyChair WorkStation line of products essentially puts your laptop on wheels, and the adjustable boom arm ensures that you can reach the keys / trackpad regardless of which side you wake up on. We're hearing a bedpan attachment is in the works as well, but we're feeling entirely too lazy to actually check.

Where's the crapper?

Is that the zune guy?

Or the first guy in line for the aphone last year.

FEATURED IN THE NEW MOVIE: WALL -E!

[InfinityPlusOne @ Jun 30th 2008 9:48AM]

I was thinking the exact same thing as Ethan.

Great movie btw...

[substance90 @ Jun 27th 2008 1:04PM]

Damn, americans are lazy as hell!

[Khris @ Jun 27th 2008 1:15PM]

I for one, welcome our new, even lazier overlords!

[LloydChiro @ Jun 27th 2008 1:21PM]

Don't you mean Earthlings are lazy as hell?

[Jon @ Jun 27th 2008 1:31PM]

Laziness???
I would have killed for this kind of set-up when my father was bed-ridden while loosing his fight with Cancer. The Laptop would get hot, and make him cranky, and when he was really bad the weight of the laptop would bruise him easily.

Hopefully inventions such as these will help future sons, assist their father's while they still have them.

[NHAnimator @ Jun 27th 2008 1:51PM]

"Damn, americans are lazy as hell!"

Hey! I'd take exception to that... except I think that requires effort.

[Timmy @ Jun 27th 2008 2:29PM]

Has anyone thought that it gives you a better laptop keyboard angle
seeing that you can't tilt a laptop keyboard on a flat table with out
a prop, it allows you to bring your laptop closer to your face while
sitting in a chair, and gives you a steadier surface for your laptop
compared to your jelly belly while in bed.

There should really be a counterweight on that thing.

[The Dude @ Jun 27th 2008 1:53PM]

There are gray counterweights towards the bottom of the chair's rod. (They look like 25 lbs. gym bar weights, at least to me.)

[ShadowKain @ Jun 27th 2008 1:04PM]

Wow...I really don't know what to say to this...you are that lazy not to walk into your office or room and sit DOWN at your PC? And I thought the WoW pizza service was bad....

[LuvMuffin @ Jun 27th 2008 1:04PM]

the ultimate in laziness but i still wont one them...it does need a bed pan & mini fridge full of redbull that way u never have to get up

[Lowest Ranked @ Jun 27th 2008 1:16PM]

Replace Red Bull with Bawls and I'm sold.

[LuvMuffin @ Jun 27th 2008 1:22PM]

yay Bawls

[bohsocks @ Jun 27th 2008 1:46PM]

Bed pan? Too much work... catheter

[TheHeroesMusic @ Jun 27th 2008 1:05PM]

SOLD!

[ShadowKain @ Jun 27th 2008 1:05PM]

If you look in the picture there does seem to be 2 weight plates around the stem of the conraption and I also believe the computer tower may add the additional counter-weight if needed....

[Lowest Ranked @ Jun 27th 2008 1:24PM]

Yeah I noticed the weights on the base but the tower is sitting on the floor behind it.

The counterweight wouldn't be for it toppling over as much as balancing out the boom-arm to keep it level.

[TheHeroesMusic @ Jun 27th 2008 1:09PM]

laptop on wheels?!.....Adjustable boom arm?!?....future firmware update to include a bedpan?!?!?......you just got your first customer good sirs.

[Big Wizz @ Jun 27th 2008 1:11PM]

Awful nice of them to include how much overweight your future self will look like in the press photos.

[jimmy @ Jun 27th 2008 3:01PM]

duhhhhh why would you get fatter laying in bed using the PC versus sitting on a chair using a PC? is sitting upright in a chair an aerobic exercise for you?

[Rick @ Jun 27th 2008 1:13PM]

Wonderful! This confirms the true height of laziness: The person who takes a c--p in the bed and pushes it down to the end with their feet. They can stay in the bed for days playing on-line games or Texas Hold'em Poker.

[Toadlet @ Jun 27th 2008 1:13PM]

Where's the cupholder???

[offroadering @ Jun 27th 2008 2:03PM]

Universal Drink Cup Holder is a $40 option

[nak @ Jun 27th 2008 1:15PM]

The woman who never got out of bed in the movie True Stories had one of these... that was 22-years ago.

[Charlie @ Jun 27th 2008 1:16PM]

Laziness ftw

[CraigJ @ Jun 27th 2008 1:19PM]

how about just getting a laptop instead?

[Jeremy @ Jun 27th 2008 1:43PM]

That's what I was thinking. I use my laptop all over just like this shows. It's much more convenient.

[decapitor @ Jun 27th 2008 1:21PM]

AAAH it's just like in WALL-E!!!!!!

[CubeGuy @ Jun 27th 2008 2:50PM]

Yeah, but I'll wait for that model that changes clothes for you before I invest.

[Anthony @ Jun 27th 2008 1:22PM]

Mankind has officially reached the pinnacle of laziness.

Congratulations, world!

[Ladderless @ Jun 27th 2008 1:26PM]

I guess there's lazy, and then there's disabled.

Why all the comments on the lazy side? I could see this being VERY useful for those with limited mobility.

That would explain the bedpan issue. After all, some people actually have a legitimate need for a bedpan that goes beyond laziness.

[Josh @ Jun 27th 2008 2:20PM]

This is true. I have a family member who is disabled and has a very difficult time getting out of bed. It seems the trolls who typically post to this site haven't a clue about life beyond their computer screens. So yes, this is a good idea for those who "need" something like this. Not JUST lazy people.

[Luketouch @ Jun 27th 2008 1:29PM]

I've already solved this dilemma.
With Touchpad Pro on my iTouch, I can control the mouse and see the screen of my computer on my 8GB iPod Touch.

[IT-Accountant @ Jun 27th 2008 1:32PM]

Actually, this should be good for hospitals and the like. Picture it: you were in a car crash, you're bed-ridden for a month on doctor's orders, and you want to use your laptop without becoming sterile.

No joke, I think there really is a legitimate purpose for this (admittedly ridiculous) device.

[NT @ Jun 27th 2008 1:37PM]

There are plenty of reasonable reasons to have a need for an mobile/adjustable monitor aside from being lazy.

[Lowest Ranked @ Jun 27th 2008 1:46PM]

You can go ahead and completely omit the word reasonably.

Not all "reasons" are "reasonable". So you can "go ahead and completely omit" yourself.

[Vidit Bhargava @ Jun 27th 2008 1:41PM]

$300+ for all this????

well...i have a laptop cart which i bought for $50 from walmart...it isnt that flexible but does the work but again im not that lazyyy either

[onin @ Jun 27th 2008 1:51PM]

[Galang @ Jun 27th 2008 1:57PM]

whats wrong with some of you, this is gonna be great for disabled people and older folk who could really use this.
