apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I kind of like this idea, its cheap and local, and I probably have all the parts sitting at home.
but if i could make the laptop swivel and mount the keyboard to the butt-end of the counter on a drop down ledge I would be much happier, little bit crazy about things lying out on the counter, period. Someone else mentioned a laser keyboard too...

brilliant!

I'm often surprised when I go into friend's homes and they don't have a laptop in their kitchen. How the hell do they survive? I can't think of the number of times I've been saved from having to trek into another room in the house to check on recipes.

I thought the point of owning a laptop was so that you could move it from room to room?

I think it could be useful in limited ways...to make notes and lists, serve as a command center for family messages, send a quick email, play a cooking video, things like that.

A laptop serves a different set of purposes in the kitchen, more for browing, but more often than not, once you're in the kitchen and decide you want the laptop, then you have to go and get it. So, there's that.

I have had at least one client remove the flip down monitor after it proved to take up too much height once it was folded up. There was not much room left below it to be useful.

sorry, "browsing" in the second paragraph..

Fixed the link that went no where but here. Thanks for letting us know!
