"Lapdesks solve the most common complaints of Notebook and Netbook users today," said George Saad, Director at Logitech Australia. "Lapdesks really are the unsung heroes of the laptop world, serving to correct the poor audio quality and shielding customers from laptop heat, the adverse effects of which have recently been all over the press. Even our own local research highlighted heat as a primary concern for consumers. Using the Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550, customers can dramatically improve their laptop experience."

The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550 features precisely placed integrated stereo speakers that sit on either side of your laptop and deliver rich, full stereo sound. The lapdesk's 4-layer, heat-shielding design, combined with the soft, air-mesh fabric, helps make laptop use more comfortable. The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550's angled base raises the laptop screen to a comfortable viewing position, and integrated foldable bumpers on the lapdesk surface help keep the computer in place. The cushioned base and heat-shielding design will protect laptop users from laptop heat.

Logitech's newest lapdesk is also easy to use. There's no software to install - you simply plug a single cable into your laptop or netbook USB port to power the speakers. The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550 is another high quality addition to the existing range of Logitech lapdesks and will serve to broaden the scope of audio solutions available from Logitech.
