    Listen, I understand people will pay good money for quality and exclusive items, but is this really worth $70?

    The LapBoard is just a piece of plywood that’s finished, routed around the sides, and marketed as a notebook stand.  Sure, the plywood used is good stuff as it’s made out of hardwood veneers and is actually kind of pricey. But really, $70 for a piece of wood?

    I kid, I kid. I actually wish the company that is making this all the luck in the world. If this venture turns out successful for them, they should move on to selling NYC bridges and farmland in Greenland. The world needs some good salesmen right now.
