Something that allows you to use the laptop in your lap. Normal laptops sit too low to comfortable type. Maybe a detachable pillow bottom?
A touch pad that doesn't make you hunch over the laptop because no-one types with both hands in center.

Like fold down legs? Kind of like a breakfast in bed tv tray?

Possibly something like that - I always set my laptop on a pillow - not great for cooling, but it raises it up to make typing easier and is easier on my neck.
