The LapDawg X4 and Pug stands are awesome laptop stands which can offer the user multiple positions for finding the comfort zone whether in bed or any place else. Both stands do a great job holding and keeping the laptop steady and safe while using them in many different positions or locations. However, the stand are made primarily to be used while lying in bed. The pug is my personal favorite due to the facet it has the fan built in for keeping the laptop running cooler. It also has a more stable platform for supporting the laptop. The LapDawg X4 offers many more positions compared to the Pug. The Pug is more of a static stand where as the LapDawg is more moveable and versatile. Both stands are superb for offering comfortable laptop use in bed. the Pug includes a usb fan, built in drink holder, and mouse pads and both left and right sides of the stand. Some may consider this review biased but I can assure you I have used both stands around the same length of time and given both opportunities.

different positions
moveable platform

LapDawg X4 Cons:
hard to set up

Pug Pros:

Both stands perform as advertised but for my personal use I prefer the Pug. It just did a better job performing and meeting my needs for a stand which can be used in bed, on couch, or any other location. If you would like to purchase either stand visit www.lapdawg.com. The Pug sells for $60 and the X4 sells for $90 plus shipping.
