Laptop DIY – How to Make a Laptop Stand out of a Tray!

Laptop Pimp — Wed, 16 Dec 2009 04:28:29 +0000

You know one of the number one reasons why laptops don’t last more than a year is because you don’t use a laptop stand, especially if the laptop CPU fans are located at the bottom of the laptop. Most of the older laptops have fans on the bottom (God knows WHY they designed it that way) and if yours does, you might want to consider making yourself one of these laptop stands out of a tray with full air-flow to the bottom of your laptop. (so your laptop lasts longer!) Also, if you are going to be buying a laptop stand, look for ones with good bottom air-flow, some are indeed horribly designed and do nothing to help the laptop cool. a how to, Laptop Accessories, Laptop DIY, Laptop DIY, laptop stand, laptop stand, make, tray

Courier Hack – How to Make a Dual Touchscreen Notebook!

While Microsoft is still working on their new version of Courier tablet that rumored to feature two touchscreens, someone has just hacked their Dell Mini with touchscreens and an extra LCD display to get a “hacked” Courier. This might be a good example to follow but one thing for sure, do you really want to carry this around? My Dell Mini forum member pakkei decided he couldn’t wait for Microsoft to release the Courier and thought he’d make one himself, converting his Inspiron Mini 9 into a slate-format tablet and adding in a second, 9-inch USB touchscreen. via slashgear a courier hack, dual touchscreen, how to, Laptop Design, Laptop DIY, Laptop Hack, make, notebook

Turn File Sorter into a Laptop Stand!

Here’s a really simple and easy way to get your laptop standing if you get tired of crouching over your laptop and you need to put it on a desk using a file sorter. I find myself using my laptop for long periods of time. It does get uncomfortable after a while. The keyboard and screen should ideally be separate to reduce neckstrain during prolonged use. If you are a full time laptop user, I suggest you build something like this that will help you raise your monitor to a near eye level. This way you can have both the keyboard and the monitor in the right positions. via instructables a desk, diy, eye level, full time, howto, keyboard, Laptop Accessories, Laptop DIY, laptop stand, laptop user, long periods of time, make
