Propping Up and Tuning Out With Podium CoolPad

Propping Up and Tuning Out With Podium CoolPad

If you're an experienced business traveler, you won't be fooled by old shaving kits dressed up in new leather that cost as much as a first-class upgrade, but you'll love these two must-haves that are priced right. The Podium CoolPad is our favorite adjustable keyboard incline. At $30, it fits easily into your laptop bag and comes with a stamp of approval from CUErgoLab, Cornell University's ergonomics lab. With Sony Corp.'s popular noise-canceling headsets, which are priced at $80, you can drown out the crying babies and whining engines.
