Question Holder for laptop in portrait mode
I have a bunch of PDF files that I want to read in portrait mode on my laptop. It's easy to change my display to portrait, but it gets tedious holding my laptop sideways.

Anyone know of a device to hold the laptop securely on a desk or on my lap so I can use it in portrait mode?

Look around for a quality cook book holder, they're made for fat books and one or another style should work just fine.

This might do the trick, depending on the size of the laptop: http://www.amazon.com/Breffo-Spiderp...4519277&sr=8-1

Jeez, that thing is creepy! Looks like an updated version of the robot spiders from "Runaway"

Bad SF flick starring Tom Selleck and Gene Simmons.

Check out Levenger - http://www.levenger.com/ - they have a variety of lap desks/table top holders for laptops/tablets, etc. A bit pricey - but very high quality.
