The idea is so simple and useful that I am perplexed as to why there are not more of them around: a compact wireless keyboard and mouse combo designed to work on your lap for couch typing/gaming/music listening/film viewing sessions. Phantom’s $130 Lapboard is literally an all-in-one KBM device whose full-size keyboard can swivel 360 degrees and be pulled up by 20 degrees, leaving the board underneath to act as a mousepad for the small laser mouse.

However, ASUS’s VX6 Lamborghini netbook is an exception because although it houses an Intel Atom processor (1.8GHz D525), it is accelerated by NVIDIA’s Ion graphics, two USB 3.0 ports, Bluetooth 3.0, Wireless N, and 7.5 hours of battery life.
