Abstract

The new device provides easy and gentle manoeuvring of the notebook which improves the user's work desk environment or 'DESKTOP ERGONOMICS'. To a season notebook user will provides a totally new desktop experience. The inventive step benefits frequent notebook users in three important ways: provides easy storage capability on the desktop, increases life expectancy of the notebook computer, and improves user ergonomics.
