Private Part Protector

By Peter C Walker. In 1981 Adam Osborne invented the first laptop and obviously it was designed to sit on the top of your lap. But Mr Osborne didn’t count on the potential health risks associated with this, such as ‘toasted skin syndrome’ or overheating testicles. Working on your laptop may seriously inhibit your chances of becoming a father in the first place!

So when ‘Maiden New Zealand’ contacted us about promoting the Platform9, a laptop stand to fit over your knees, I decided to give it a whirl!

When it arrived I never expected it to be so funky, it really stood out. Some friends of mine were instantly attracted to it simply because of its modern look.

One comment in particular; “It’s a way cool fashion accessory”.

When I got it home it was a perfect fit for my laptop, not too big and not too small. When plugging in USB and power cords or using the CD-ROM I realised that ‘Maiden’ owner Dwayne and his team have really thought about the design and functionality.

I placed the Platform9 over my knees and found it a little fitting, so not a perfect fit, however the functionality of how it works is brilliant, nice relaxed position while putting me in an ergonomic state to complete my work, game playing or surfing the web. The Platform9 found its way onto the kitchen table where I found it an ideal base to work on a hard surface with. So far I am really impressed!

But could it really aid my health, prevent burns or save my unborn children? Yes, the Platform9 is made from polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA). PMMA is a tough, highly transparent material with excellent resistance to ultraviolet radiation and weathering. It is therefore the best product to protect your health and support your wellbeing by providing a layer between you and your laptop.
The Platform9 is an innovative laptop stand with more than just comfort and looks in mind. It takes your computing experience to a whole new level, whether on the kitchen bench, lying on the couch or propped up in bed. Some might say it is saving lives!

RRP: $69.95. www.platform9.co.nz
