Thanko Easy Desk - a table when you need one : Tech Digest

More quirky technology from the Far East, this time the Thanko Easy Desk - a computer table when you need one.

The Easy Desk starts out barely bigger or indeed thicker than your average notebook. But this aluminium table isn't just a pad to absorb the heat (although the aluminium does that), it folds out as a portable desk. That means leg support, a surface to solidly hold your notebook and even a retractable mouse table, should you have one hooked up.

And its ability to shape shift means you can use it in work, on the sofa or even in bed. Available online, you can pick one up for $79.31 (around £40).
