Idea:
To make and distribute a laptop stand. Laptops are growing in huge numbers. But there are hardly any dealer or distributor providing stands for laptops to enable people to use it as desktop computers.

Features:
The stand model(s) should address the following problems users currently face:
1. Ability to work in any place in the home including bed, room corners, porticos, etc.,
2. Get away from the immense heat of the laptop
3. Have a placeholder to hold the papers, notebooks
4. Durable and long standing
