Abstract

The invention relates to an ordinary backpack for carrying and/or storing a portable computer (laptop), but having the feature or innovation of folding telescopic legs and a rigid detachable base for mouse use and a detachable cup holder on the side of the backpack. The product can thus be used by any person in plazas, parks, universities, airports, etc., and in any place having wireless interne. Said backpack-portable desk avoids the need to work with the portable computer on a person's legs when the person is not in a suitable place, and avoids the immobility inherent to such a position. The use of said backpack also prevents the computer from transferring heat to the legs, which could be harmful over time. The invention is extremely simple, practical and rapid to use and presents no complications to anyone.
