It seemed that Logitech cares about your burning skin issue. And to reduce the possibility of burnt skin and skin cancer due to laptops on the lap, they’ve unveiled the new Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550, a comfy lapdesk that creates a theater-like entertainment experience around the home. A follow-on to the popular Logitech® Speaker Lapdesk N700, which is designed for laptops up to 16-inches, the Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550 delivers premium sound and comfort to people with laptops that are 14.1-inches or smaller. Works even with Atom netbooks, and it’s also cheaper than the N700. The look however, is somewhat rather identical.

“Lapdesks are the unsung heroes of the laptop and netbook world,” said Denis Pavillard, vice president of product marketing for laptop accessories. “The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N550 solves the two complaints people most often report about their laptops and netbooks – poor audio quality and laptop heat. Using this one product can dramatically improve the experience people have with their laptops.”

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 your laptop screen to a comfortable viewing position, and integrated foldable bumpers on the lapdesk surface help keep your computer in place.

Logitech’s newest lapdesk does not require any software installation. Just plug in to any of your Macbook, laptop, or netbook USB port and it’ll run smoothly.
