The Gas Oven Laptop Cooler.

At first, hearing the words “gas oven” and “cooler” together will strike you as odd. But in the case of the Gas Oven Laptop Cooler, it makes a little more sense. Laptop coolers are a dime a dozen so when a manufacturer of said products tries to do something different, it can either go very well, or…not so well. In this case, they mostly succeed. The GOLC is a relatively small yet powerful laptop cooler with two big fans in use to keep your lappy cool and happy. One other nifty feature that should please mobile warriors is the USB power — no wall socket in sight. Granted, if you completely without a wall socket, using this will cause your battery to drain faster. Then again, if your laptop is starting to melt, I can see where your decision making might be altered. Finally, a nice blue glow shines from within letting you know when you do and don’t have sweet sweet electricity flowing through the device itself. The light is slightly gimmicky but a cool feature none the less. Oh yeah, I almost forgot — it’s shaped like a gas stove *face palm*.

Seeing as how most laptop coolers are $40+, are you willing to walk out on a limb for $12.69 and save a few dollars in the process? I hear limb walking is all the rage these days…

So they banned texting while driving? How about…”Computing while driving”?

So what states and governments alike are banning texting while driving. When you are using the Laptop Steering Wheel Desk while swerving through traffic at 90 mph and get pulled over, you can politely tell the officer that there currently isn’t any law against using a computer while driving (to my knowledge). You can also invite him to watch “I Love Lucy” re-runs with you…though I don’t know how well that will go over. Heck, you could probably pipe in a video feed from a camera mounted on your dashboard and go all futuristic. Still, I don’t recommend actually testing it out while driving…obviously.

Jokes aside, the Laptop Steering Wheel Desk is real, and real handy at that — while you’re parked of course. Simply hooking this mobile desk to your steering wheel gives you a sturdy workspace to conduct whatever it is you have to do while in the drivers seat. While I can certainly see the added benefit some would garner from using this in the cars, especially the mobile business people who work out of their vehicles quite often, I’m just as content with sitting in another seat and putting the laptop on my…uhhh…lap. Still, for $24.95, many will find the price just right. Any takers?
