But I like the simplicity of the design, the poster’s first hand experience, mentioning other designs, and the idea of leaving usable room underneath the laptop. Further, it’s nicely illustrated with a photo.

Not, perhaps, a mathematical tour de force but useful information. Just like the numerous reports on HN of IKEA products used to prop up monitors. These ideas won’t win a Turing Award but are often clever and give me ideas to try out myself.
