What’s to love: Made for gaming in comfort on the couch or from the bed, but also can be used for working from home with a laptop or notebook.

What does it do: The molded hard plastic desktop is just over 32 inches wide and rests on two microfiber covered memory foam cushions. Six integrated ports in the desktop allow for keyboards, a mouse, headphones and gamepads while the cords are neatly out of sight in a cord management system. The system is made so that only one cord from the desk is plugged into the wall, while all the other cords are connected to a hub in compartments under the desk. The lap desk is available in black or gray and sells for $189. More information can be found at us.nerdytec.com.
