Can I just use my notebook on my lap – why do I need an eTray?.
A. There are two basic problems with using a notebook computer on your lap and these become very obvious when you first try it. The first is that the computer gets uncomfortably hot after a very short period of time, and you may eventually have to put it down. The second is that you will have to use the touch pad to operate the machine. An eTray will overcome both of these problems and makes it possible to use your notebook with a mouse for extended periods of time in comfort.
