Great review for the Trabasack in The Sun

I’M A sucker for technology as much as the next guy.

I still have that kid-at-Christmas feeling with almost anything which works in ways I don’t understand.

Then every so often something so simple comes along which ticks all the same boxes as the most complicated electronic gadget – ease of use, style, help it provides.

I’m writing this review from the front passenger seat of my partner’s rather compact Fiat 500 on route back from the airport.

Last week, attempting such a task would have been pointless. For anyone who has tried to balance a laptop on their knees – let alone attempted it in a tight spot – you will understand the difficulty.

But now I have the Trabasack Mini.

This kick-yourself simple design has allowed me to work on the go, whether it’s sat in a cramped airport departure lounge or on the long car journey home.

And why so simple? On one side a firm leather feel surface to rest and protect your laptop, and on the other, a bean bag cushion inset to help achieve a level work surface wherever you want one.

Furthermore, the Trabasack claims to be more than just a helping hand to on-the-go workers.

Loathed to spend a fortune on airport sandwiches, I always take a packed lunch. But if you don’t eat in a designated restaurant, where can you enjoy a homemade cheese and pickle? Anywhere, now!

My portable desk has just become a tray. No spilled coffee. No trousers covered in crumbs and no uncomfortable balancing acts.

The Trabasack looks like a smart briefcase but comes complete with detachable straps so it can be worn as a rucksack or shoulder bag.

The inside zip pocket (where the beanbag is kept) means you can keep your charger, pens, pencils and even a notebook.

The Trabasack is priced at £34.95 and is available from the Future Perfect Company
