Closer Look
Unfortunately the Lapdog arrived in it’s original packaging, which was damaged during transit – but who wants to see the packaging anyway? The Lapdog comes with a long (4.8m/16ft) cable that provides PC connectivity and additional power via the PSU plug (not pictured). It also comes with an instruction manual that will come in very handy.
The Lapdog is made up of two parts with the first being the base, formed from memory foam, this is contoured to sit comfortably on your lap. You’ll notice a small tool located in the middle. More on this in a bit.
The two parts are held together by a number of strong magnets, so if the top or bottom get damaged, they can be replaced.
The tool is a small hex key, which is used to access the number of compartments under the top casing and mouse pad.
A total of 10 screws hold the top of the case down – including the removable section for the K65 to K70 plate.
On the top right corner, you will find the USB 3.0 in, 12V in and two addition USB 3.0 ports which you can plug your memory sticks or headphones into.
To install the keyboard you need to remove the top panel and, if required, the K70 section. Underneath you have spacious cable compartments and tie wrap points, which enable you to cleanly route the keyboard and mouse cable into the back of the internal USB3.0 ports.
When fully assembled the Lapdop looks incredibly impressive; with it’s sleek, brushed aluminium body and seamless integrated keyboard with hidden cable management compartments.
The cable routing enables you to hide the excess cables, resulting in a very clean look.
The cable required to provide all of this connectivity (bearing in mind the K65 and K70 require additional USB ports for extra power) is almost 5m long, and includes 12V power if it is required (although it can run without). The cable itself is unbraided, but thick and stiff to bend.
