Love computing outside in all the gloriousness that is sweet mother nature but have a problem with Mr. Sun creating glare, squinting, and headaches? You’re apparently not alone. Thank god the makers of the “Laptop Burka” came along. Featuring a name that may anger some and a design that is anything except original or innovative, the makers of said accessory take you for a complete idiot. A quick look at the image above will come across to most as a bed sheet on top of some moron’s head. But in fact it is a…..uhh…..ya it’s a damn sheet on someone’s head. You can’t fool us Laptop Burka maker….
The most comical yet simultaneously infuriating feature of the LB is the price tag: $36. You read that right and yes the decimal point is in the right spot. This company is charging $36 for a bed sheet made to block out glare and other natural annoyances that may hinder your outdoor computing. If you’ve really got that much of a problem with glare and or mother nature, take your happy ass back inside the house.
One honorable mention from the feature list includes:
I’m pretty sure privacy screens/films were invented for this sole reason. They’re much smaller and won’t make you look like a mental patient when used in public (bonus). You’re best bet is to avoid this at all costs. If threatened with death….it’s not really a hard choice. Move along.

Who came up with this idea anyway WHAT ! NO NO it couldnt have been the anti glare filter companies because they dont workk outside you and I are so smart we already know this RIGHT ? OH WAIT it was one of those half shell computer shade companies RIGHT NO NO they couldnt because they let in the other 50% of the glare onto the screen . I GOT IT it was one of those pesky tech writers who only want you to buy what they tell you to buy AHHH wait no its not cool enough for them . I GOT IT the computer companies you just spent all that money on they must be the ones NOOOOOO it couldnt be them because they stop working at the door to the out doors !!!!!! AH I KNOW it was an end user that came up with it ! YEP it was
Are you like I was tired of all the high tech bunk your being sold as a bill of goods that YOU AND I BOTH KNOW WONT WORK OUTSIDE! GEEK SHEET is more than just the sheet off your bed . It’s a custom tailer made computer shade that blocks out 100% of the glare on your computer . High end breathable fabric designed to reflect the suns rays which is light weight and works with any computer. Dont worry yourself with bullies like “Mike” he can stay in his cardboard box all his life thinking hes the cool one. Get out of the office get your work done while on vacation. Who cares what anyone else thinks Geek Sheet “will out perform ANY computer shade or anti glare filter on the planet “!
