Where's the crapper?
It just lost all purpose.
OW! My Balls!
Is that the zune guy?
Or the first guy in line for the aphone last year.
FEATURED IN THE NEW MOVIE: WALL -E!
I was thinking the exact same thing as Ethan.
Great movie btw...
Damn, americans are lazy as hell!
I for one, welcome our new, even lazier overlords!
Don't you mean Earthlings are lazy as hell?
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.
"Damn, americans are lazy as hell!"
Hey! I'd take exception to that... except I think that requires effort.
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.
My .02$
There should really be a counterweight on that thing.
There are gray counterweights towards the bottom of the chair's rod. (They look like 25 lbs. gym bar weights, at least to me.)
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....
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
Replace Red Bull with Bawls and I'm sold.
yay Bawls
Bed pan? Too much work... catheter
SOLD!
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....
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.
laptop on wheels?!.....Adjustable boom arm?!?....future firmware update to include a bedpan?!?!?......you just got your first customer good sirs.
Awful nice of them to include how much overweight your future self will look like in the press photos.
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?
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.
Where's the cupholder???
Universal Drink Cup Holder is a $40 option
The woman who never got out of bed in the movie True Stories had one of these... that was 22-years ago.
Laziness ftw
AAAH it's just like in WALL-E!!!!!!
Yeah, but I'll wait for that model that changes clothes for you before I invest.
how about just getting a laptop instead?
That's what I was thinking. I use my laptop all over just like this shows. It's much more convenient.
bed soar meds not included
Mankind has officially reached the pinnacle of laziness.
Congratulations, world!

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.
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.
As someone who has a disabled parent, this is a God-send. The user can maintain his/her independence and productivity if they are in the unfortunate position of being confined to their bed or they have limited mobility.
Just sayin... not everything's about laziness.
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.
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.
There are plenty of reasonable reasons to have a need for an mobile/adjustable monitor aside from being lazy.
You can go ahead and completely omit the word reasonably.

Not all "reasons" are "reasonable". So you can "go ahead and completely omit" yourself.
$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
Where did they find those ancient computers in the pictures?!
In Europe.
whats wrong with some of you, this is gonna be great for disabled people and older folk who could really use this.
... and my good friend, Patty Fatty Boombalatty.
