If I can recommend a laptop accessory...

<p>Someone told me to get a stand (example link below) for my laptop (Sony VAIO) and I definitely did not want to. After spilling a TINY bit of coke on my laptop (which is DETRIMENTAL, let me tell you!), I caved in and am currently just using a separate keyboard that I can spill on. But yeah, I love my laptop stand. It's kind of funky looking, but it provides cooling, extra USB hubs, and the best part -- better posture. I only used my laptop for like a week before getting the stand and already my posture was bad -- back/neck strain. So, yes. I really recommend the stand to anyone slightly clumsy and/or already slouching. =)</p>

<p>Just an example, hope it's okay to link to this site: <a href="http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6914208&type=product&productCategoryId=cat08006&id=1097580086862%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=6914208&type=product&productCategoryId=cat08006&id=1097580086862&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>thats actually pretty cool if u use a seperate key board. its like a monitor with a built in computer</p>

<p>Yeah you have to use a separate keyboard with it, protecting your laptops keyboard. And then of course you just take it off the stand when you go use it at the library or wherever.</p>
