    Abstract: The present invention discloses a device for holding a laptop computer further having means for attaching the device to a tray table such as would be found on an airplane train or the like. The present invention discloses a platform for placement thereon of the laptop computer having a foam pad on its lower edge to prevent the computer from falling off the platform and for ergonomic reasons. An elevational member is provided comprising a pivot head which causes the platform to be inclined at an ergonomically acceptable angle. The elevational member attaches to the tray table by means of a mounting member having a recess therein for receiving the pivot head. The mounting member has a wire frame attached thereto which frame attaches to opposite edges of the platform. The lower end of the elevational member is attached to a stand member, or, in an alternative embodiment, a stand member to be placed under the legs of a seated user for securely holding the present invention.
