Does Your Laptop Have a Seatbelt?
(ContentDesk) February 16, 2004 -- The Braatpaq bag is designed to look like a traditional laptop carrying case, but comes with additional straps that enable it to be mounted over the front seat headrests, securing the laptop computer and allowing rear seat passengers to view the screen.
The laptop is opened and positioned in the bag so that the screen extends outside the bag.
In addition, inner straps secure the laptop while it is in use. The bag is specially reinforced to provide extra durability.
Users have the option of zipping it up or leaving it open while in use.
The Braatpaq bag works in most vehicles from compacts to minivans and SUVs, and can also be used as a regular laptop carrying case.
For those who have had mounted units ripped out of a vehicle, this provides a good alternative.The idea was conceived after Yvonne Apronti, President of Braatpaq, Inc realized that her children got restless during family trips. Mobile units were not cheap. "It occurred to me that my laptop would serve a similar purpose and had a larger screen but I needed to find a way of securing it...in other words, a seatbelt for my laptop.
Now I have peace of mind while driving, knowing my children are protected as they enjoy their movies and games on the laptop in the back seat," she reports.
An unsecured laptop however can pose several dangers in the event of any sudden movement.
The Braatpaq is currently offered at www.braatpaq.com with a free power inverter to keep your laptop on while in use.
Additonal accessories are also offered. Questions can be sent to e-mail protected from spam bots..

Would You Like An Extended Warranty With That?
Should you buy an extended warranty with your laptop?You may not want to think about it now, but sooner or later,something is going to break down on your laptop. When ithappens, the big question will be who gets stuck with thebill, you or the manufacturer.The standard (standard in this case meaning free) warrantyon a new laptop typically runs anywhere from 90 days to ayear. That probably doesn't seem like much when you considerhow long you expect to own your laptop. What happens whenyour laptop poops out on the 91st day?First of all, even if your laptop only includes a 90-daywarranty (and assuming you've purchased a reputable brand-name system), the chances of your laptop dying on the 91stday are very, very slim.Manufacturers don't offer a 90-day warranty with theexpectation that their product will malfunction shortlythereafter.
