Seated writing platform

A lapdesk is a portable flat surface designed to rest on the thighs, providing a stable platform for writing or using a laptop computer.

Traditional lapdesks are simple boards or cushioned trays; modern versions often include features like built-in cooling fans or storage compartments: She balanced the lapdesk on her knees while working from the couch.
