Corsair lapdog

Hi,

since the birth of my baby girl my pc/mancave has been lost! My pc is now on my living room tv and i actually love it!

However, i have been keeping an eye out for the corsair lapdog and cant seem to find a release date or narrow window for its release. Looks a fab bit of kit!

This looks an amazing piece of kit and possibly would get me away from a desk tbh!

Last time I checked, they should be available in stores towards the end of Q4. I don't know if that's been pushed back, but from what I've been hearing, they are in the last stages of finishing the final version before moving it in mass production. I hope soon though, as I've been seeing lots of inquiries about it already.

i'll be ordering/pre ordering as soon as overclockers get stock!

Looks perfect for my gaming pc in my living room!

I've recently tried a prototype myself for a couple of days, I'm pretty surprised that it was really comfortable. I thought it was going to be awkward having a mini desk on your lap, but it didn't feel that way after a few hours of gaming.

So im guessing if your still testing prototypes a Christmas 15 release is not on the cards?

Does that hump in the bottom start to affect comfort after a while? I understand its presence if, say, a battery bank needs to be placed there but not sure why it is in the current wired version.

really cant wait for this product, will sort of my living room gaming perfectly. Any idea on timescale to start mass production to it hitting e-tailers?

I'm tempted by this as well. Looks as though Razer have something similar due as well which could be out before (doesn't look as good though).

Wouldn't a nerdytec couchmaster still be a better and more stable solution for playing with keyboard and mouse on the sofa?

Putty · 23 Oct 2015 at 20:41

I've just googled that couchmaster - not bad but it's mahoosive!

Yeah, but it does look like it would give you a much more stable platform for your keyboard and mouse.

i'd be tempted if i could find a UK retailer. Price seems high for what it is (3 cushions and a usb hub).

I'll probably get it though if the lapdog isnt out before end of year

it's rubbish unless you have deep and wide sofas and like to be cocooned. No good for the lazy single seater sofa.

Its looking less and less likely i will have this for end of year. My trusty old shelf on the lap will have to do!

Ive just got a plain old corner desk in the corner of the living room funny enough.. does the job perfectly

scorchedbee · 3 Nov 2015 at 23:18

corner desk won't do for me in afraid, pc is on the TV and i play from the sofa since my newborn daughter stole, yes stole my man cave

update

the lapdog wont be released until q1 2016 now as posted on corsair forums. The mrs agreed to get me it for xmas too!

WYNIR0 · 2 Feb 2016 at 11:21

I'll be getting one of these. Any news on UK pricing yet?

scorchedbee · 19 Feb 2016 at 18:19

anyone get any more news on this? I've read the Bulldog is due next month so i can only presume this will be released alongside it?
