New listening position

[kach22i]

No, not on my head.

Not my head up my arse either.

Laptop on my lap, feet up on a foot stool and being careful not to put my knee under the cooling vents.

So who else is doing this?

 

[zaphod]

oh yeah, been there many a time. but i end up so drawn into the music that the laptop keeps going into sleep mode

What you REALLY need is a pair of HUD (heads up display) glasses so the laptop screen does not impede your soundstage/imaging!

A 3D hologram like in Star Wars is the way to go.

Laptops don't go in the listening room. In fact, since getting a dedicated room - visual display devices of any kind don't go in the listening room either. Nor do mobile 'phones. It is for audio equipment and listening only.

The only link to the outside world is a FLAC stream via Wi-Fi.

I use the itouch.

Good idea, I'm not going to do this lap thing in the summer, it's just to warm.

New? nothing new about this position my friend, for ten years, that's how I frequently use my system.

A laptop pad of some kind is highly recommended, there some that feature memory foam covered in cloth on the bottom, these are great because they don't slip and distribute the weight on your legs.

Soon (a few weeks I hope), I'll be able to use the new iPad instead of the laptops for just reading.

But for typing forum posts, nothing beats a laptop and a big keyboard.

When I'm parked in front of my system there is no way a laptop would get any attention, unless we are talking...... nah, too obvious ! :devil:

I lower the lid for the really good songs, and do not read or type when seriously listening.

I might pick one of those up before too long, thanks.

I would recommend a 'Chill Pad', they hook to your laptop via a USB and the laptop sits on top of the chill pad and keeps the laptop cool in your lap.

Makes using a laptop in summer a breeze
