The LapDome is a device for blocking out the glare that often makes laptop LCD screens unreadable in outdoor daylight. The product is designed as a laptop carrying case that folds out into a miniature replica of a pup tent, creating a sort of cave effect for the computer that improves screen visibility.
Criticism
Despite the LapDome's evident utility, several review sites and blogs have noted its conspicuous design.
- They run $30 - $80 depending on which ridiculous model you choose and are totally not worth every cent.
- -Geekologie
- That's right, instead of going inside like a normal person, now you can cover up your laptop with the most ludicrous and embarrassing product since the Pocket Fisherman.
