Latest Lapdesk Offers Immersive Audio and Increased Comfort with
Integrated Stereo Speakers, Built-in Fan and Padded Base
LAS VEGAS, Jan 05, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- You're already using your laptop to listen to music, play games, and
watch movies, TV and videos. You're already using it on the couch and on
the bed. But you're looking for a way to be comfortable, and you know
what a difference high-quality audio can make when you're enjoying good
entertainment. For a theater-like experience on your laptop, Logitech
(SIX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) today introduced the Logitech(R)
Speaker Lapdesk N700 -- the company's first all-in-one
laptop accessory with integrated stereo speakers, a built-in fan and
a wide padded base.
"More and more people around the world are enjoying fantastic
entertainment on their laptops -- but with mediocre sound and comfort,"
said Denis Pavillard, Logitech vice president of product marketing for
laptop accessories. "In fact, according to our research nearly 50
percent of laptop users report being dissatisfied with the sound quality
of the built-in speakers. The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 helps
transform your laptop into a private theater in the cozy confines of
your lap."
Unlike most laptop speakers, the Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 offers
two built-in high-definition speakers with 2-inch high-performance
neodymium drivers. Specially designed for notebook computers, the stereo
speakers are precisely positioned on either side of your laptop to give
you rich sound and powerful bass. And, because they connect through a
single USB cable, there's no cable clutter or the hassle of moving and
setting up external speakers.
While you're enjoying entertainment on your laptop, the Logitech Speaker
Lapdesk N700 helps keep you comfortable. Whether you're on the couch or
in bed, the viewing angle of your screen and the padded base help you
sit in a more comfortable position. Meanwhile, a quiet, efficient fan
circulates air under your notebook, and the heat-shielding design helps
keep laptop heat off your legs and lap. Plus, a grill protects the fan
from dust and damage, and rear and bottom air intakes ensure steady,
unobstructed airflow.
The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700 is easy to set up and use, just plug
in the single USB cable and play movies, music, online videos, and more
in rich, full stereo sound - there's no software to install and no need
for batteries. And to put convenient, independent control at your
fingertips, the Speaker Lapdesk N700 offers volume controls for the
speakers and an On/Off switch for the fan.
Pricing and Availability
The Logitech Speaker Lapdesk N700is expected to be available in
the U.S. in February and in Europe in March for a suggested retail price
of $79.99 (U.S.).
