with laptop in operation



without laptop to expose construction



All parts are ZNAP (other than a few Technic Pins). Mostly these parts...

18x 32206 Znap Beam 9, 5 Holes, 4 Bends (Half-Octagon) (various colors)

20x 32213 Znap Grid 9 x 7, 15 Holes (various colors)

20x 32203 Znap Beam 7, 3 Holes (various colors)

5x Zbb014 Znap Connector 1 x 3 - 2 way A (light Gray)

42x Zbb013 Znap Connector 3 x 3 - 4 way B (Beam) (purple)

2x 32246 Znap Beam 8, 4 Holes, 3 Bends, Curved (I used yellow)

4x 4459 Technic, Pin WITH Friction Ridges Lengthwise (black, holds side arms)

The space below the bottom also provides handy space to store pens and pencils.

Nice idea! :)

If I may, a suggestion: remove the front supports and replace with some internal triangular bracing if possible, then you can store notes and other things underneath the lappy - good on you for using znap as well, the ugly stepchild of Lego.

Cheers,

Matt
