Plane Laptop Mount

The last time I was sitting on a plane, in coach, trying to get some work done and I came to the conclusion that unless you have a 10 inch screen you are doomed. Especially when the person in front of you reclines their seat.

It is doable but your wrists are so contorted that it is almost not worth it.

I have resorted to angling the laptop up so the keyboard rather than being flat is at a 45 degree angle and the screen ending up at your eyeline…ish. I like it. You are not crammed in and the screen is at a great viewing height, There is one problem though..the 45 keyboard angle. It makes it great for reading email but bad for answering.

I think a plastic, foldable mount that rests on the tray table and angles the laptop would be the answer. It would stop the laptop from moving when you move the keys and could contain an additional USB keyboard under the raised laptop that is flat so that you can type easily.

I bet that business travelers who do not get enough airline status to guarantee First class seats would pay $30 to get something like this. I know I would. 3-4 hours of quiet time with the ability to work is invaluable.
