Might be terrific - but just not for me
I purchased 2 Adapt-A-Laps about 4 years ago, and used it maybe 3 times.<br /><br />The testimonials of its value seem genuine, but I never got the point of it.  A laptop, you can just put in your lap, and the monitor angle can be adjusted; that seems convenient enough.<br /><br />As for books, maybe I was just spoiled from the Levo BookHolder.  The Adapt-A-Lap  just doesn't seem to offer much benefit, at least for me.<br /><br />One of the main problems is that there are 3 protruding 'shelves' on the AAL, to accommodate a magazine, small book or larger book.  But the top and middle shelf get in the way of the bottom shelf.  If you place a larger book on the bottom shelf, the book doesn't lean comfortably against the main surface of the AAL.  It would make more sense for the shelves to be foldable, somehow.<br /><br />Before you purchase, take a look at it from different angles, read the testimonials.  Perhaps you can find a good use for it.  Others have.<br /><br />Regarding customer service - good people.  After the purchase, Adapt-A-Lap customer service kindly asked (in an email) if I could write a review of the product.  I told them that I'd prefer not to review, couldn't really offer any positive feedback, but that I had no intention of trying to get a refund.  They responded that it's no problem, that their customers shouldn't have to be stuck with a product they don't want, to feel free to return it for a full refund, and thanks for trying it out.<br /><br />4 years later, I never attempted to return the product, and still have it.  But  the manufacturer's polite attitude left a positive impression.
