Jan 17 2008The LapDome Should Have Never Been Made
The LapDome is a tent for your laptop so you can see the screen when you're computing in places you shouldn't be. They run $30 - $80 depending on which ridiculous model you choose and are totally not worth every cent. My rule of thumb for laptop use is as follows: if you can't see the screen you should close the laptop and enjoy the outdoors. I mean that couple in the picture is at a nice pool with a diving board. What kind of damn fool uses a laptop by the pool when you could be playing that game where someone throws a beach ball and you jump off the diving board and try to catch it. I mean that shit is fun. Way fun. Just make sure there's water in the pool first. Trust me. R.I.P. "Pool Games" Pete.
Thanks to Anna, who is sexy as hell, for the tip

Old news.
I've been pitching tents in my lap for YEARS.

I spend time on the back of a friends boat in the summer running our sidescan sonar (not always the same boat/setup). First year I used cardboard to wrap around my laptop but it either blew away or got wet. Last year I used a big Rubbermaid container to try and block the sun and keep the laptop somewhat dry. I can understand why you might think the thing is useless because of the marketing photo, but I think it would actually be useful to me on the boat.... *might* be.

This would be great for anyone who needs to use a lappy outside for work. They should fire who ever they have doing their marketing though.
