The Sun and its rays are a laptop user’s greatest enemy. Direct sunlight can overheat a laptop causing it to explode (we know how they really explode). It can also make that pretty LCD almost invisible.

There’s not a whole lot more annoying on a sunny day in the park or at the beach than having to use a laptop, but if you do, it would be great to not see and have an excuse to stop working, but instead, the makers of SunShade rained on our parade. They make quite a fugly looking contraption called the laptop screen shield, it stops sunlight from letting you have fun.

I’d rather sport my green and blue Subaru umbrella, but hey, that’s just me.

The laptop shade clamps right on to the laptop frame itself and is adjustable to fit laptops from 10 to 17 inches wide. It’s just US$35.
