The Ultimate in Portable Work Surfaces
for the Professional on the Go.
"Innovation comes in many shapes,
sizes, technologies and concepts. Here's the first gadget
on our site with no batteries or chips!" Well - that
was the story in 2000. Intrigo closed its doors sometime in
2004. Even searches on the web do not show any more devices
out there anymore. We'll take it to the gadget product archives.
One of the most creative products to emerge from the International
Consumer Electronics Show 2000 in Las Vegas in early January
is a non-electronic accessory developed to address the need
for a transportable work surface that can be set up literally
anywhere. Targeted for the mobile professional who likes to
pull out his laptop and work "on the fly," the Intrigo
Lapstation Series comprises three distinct models which
unfold to provide an ample work surface for your laptop computer
and other work accessories.
The
Lapstation Series combines incredible style, versatility and
durability to provide the ultimate in work convenience.
The work surface of the Lapstation Series easily accommodates
any laptop computer, along with other typical accessories
that a professional "road warrior" may take with him or her.
Eight
mounting holes are built into the surface of the Lapstation,
which allow for mounting accessories such as a task light,
paper holder, and cup holder. The
design is a result of a collaboration between product inventor
Maxim Weitzman of Intrigo, RKS Design Inc. - an award-winning
product development firm located in Thousand Oaks, California
- and Peerless Injection Molding, Inc. of Torrance, CA.

| Two
mesh pouches, affixed to the legs of the product, provide convenient
storage space for disk media, highlighters, pens, adhesive note
pads, and other miscellaneous utility items. The Station is also
equipped with shock-absorbing rubber feet that provide stability
to the work surface, and protect any surface on which the Lapstation
is placed from scuffs and scratches.
The
three models are differentiated by means of how wrist support
is provided, along with different body finishes and mesh pouch
options. The Lapstation B1 employs medium density neoprene pads
to provide comfortable wrist support and comfort during typing
breaks, with a dark blue body and no side leg mesh pouches.
The B2 comes in either a translucent aqua or smoke body, with
the medium density neoprene wrist pads and side leg mesh pouches.
The deluxe B3 version incorporates a titanium finish body with
gel-filled pads for optimum wrist support, and the two side
leg mesh pouches.
