This stand keeps my Apple MousePad at fingertip position on my recliner. I like my MacBook Air when I'm running around because it is so light, and does everything an iPad can't. However, when I'm at home I plug the MacBook Air into the 50" HDMI TV and sit back in my comfortable recliner. Usually I used a lap desk for the wireless keyboard and mousepad. However, the MousePad was more comfortable when inline with the armrest, so I built this to always have the MousePad at my fingertips. It usually works pretty well as long as the cat isn't also lounging on the armrest.
