Thanko’s New Laptop Portable Table Converts Into a Bag

Laptops are great, except when there’s no flat surface on which to use them.  Let’s face it, sitting with a full-sized PC resting on your knees isn’t exactly comfortable and could actually harm your computer—overheating is dangerous folks.  If you’re looking for a mobile solution that doesn’t require you to carry a full-sized desk in your backpack, the new laptop convertible bag from Thanko may just fit the bill.

This laptop bag will hold a full-sized device but the coolest feature is that it easily converts into a free-standing table (well, more like a stand) that you can use anywhere you need to be productive. The telescoping legs hold the device upright but unfortunately they’re too short to make stand-up computing feasible.  Still, this thing will keep your legs from falling asleep and your CPU from frying itself to death.

Weight-wise, it’s just about 6 pounds, which may not sound like that much until you’re lugging it around all day.  However, if you pack a full-sized laptop instead of a ultraportable netbook or tablet, the extra weight may be worth it. With a price tag of $75, this tablet/bag hybrid fits comfortably in within the budgets of even the stingiest of executives.
