What laptop carts do you recommend?

I'm especially looking at the Anthro adjustable laptop cart. It's more expensive than some, but it looks more sturdy and comes with a lifetime warranty (I believe).

Any experience and/or thoughts on the Anthro?

Here are a few others I found:

Mayline 950

Target: Laptop Cart

Another one from Target

Staples.com

Pneumatic lift laptop cart

Thoughts/recommendations?

Why bother with a cart. Get a TV tray! More "desk" space, and you can fold up and stow away in a closet, not to mention at a fraction of the cost.

Mine looks like the Target one, but I turned the leg so it pulls up to Recliner.... see Picture link

I just moved into a new place and been using a tv tray for a few months. It's probably one of the worst mistakes I've made. I think I've developed a mild case of tennis elbow and carpal tunnel in my left arm and hand. Also it difficult to get you legs comfortable because of the support bar at the bottom. Spend the extra on something you'll be happy with and ergonomic. I know I'm getting a proper desk this weekend.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I have a TV tray and have used it on occasion, but it isn't the most comfortable for me. I am looking for something ergonomic.

Normally, I use my PB on a table or on a lapdesk on a recliner. I may stick with that for a while and put my money in a new iPod. []
