The first portion may include a cushion; and the second portion may be elastic. The second portion may be attached to the first portion so that a pocket is formed between the two portions. The pillow apparatus may be configured to securely encapsulate a laptop or tablet computer of a first size within the pocket. The pillow apparatus may be configured to securely encapsulate a laptop or tablet computer of a second size larger than the first size within the pocket. The pocket is configured to expand so that the pocket is larger when the laptop or tablet computer of the second size is within the pocket than when the laptop or tablet computer of the first size is within the pocket. The second portion may be substantially thinner than the first portion. ## Claims ### Claim 1 An apparatus comprising a pillow apparatus comprising a first portion; and a second portion attached to the first portion; wherein the first portion includes a cushion; wherein the second portion is elastic; wherein the second portion is attached to the first portion so that a pocket is formed between the first portion and the second portion; and wherein the pillow apparatus is configured to securely encapsulate a computer of a first size within the pocket; wherein the pillow apparatus is configured to securely encapsulate a Icomputer of a second size larger than the first size within the pocket; and wherein the pocket is configured to expand so that the pocket is larger when the computer of the second size is within the pocket than when the computer of the first size is within the pocket. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the second portion is substantially thinner than the first portion. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first portion is at least ten times thicker than the second portion. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the second portion is made entirely of one or more of rayon, nylon, and spandex. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising the computer of the first size. ### Claim 6 (depends on 5) The apparatus of claim 5 further comprising The computer of the second size. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the first portion has a surface with personalized indicia on it. ### Claim 8 A method comprising inserting a computer of a first size into a pocket of a pillow apparatus; wherein the pillow apparatus is comprised of a first portion; and a second portion attached to the first portion; wherein the first portion includes a cushion; wherein the second portion is elastic; wherein the second portion is attached to the first portion so that the pocket is formed between the first portion and the second portion; and wherein the pillow apparatus is configured to securely encapsulate the computer of the first size within the pocket. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8 further comprising taking the computer of the first size out of the pocket; and inserting a computer of a second size into the pocket, wherein the second size is larger than the first size; and wherein the pillow apparatus is configured to securely encapsulate the computer of the second size within the pocket. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8 wherein the second portion is substantially thinner than the first portion. ### Claim 11 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8 wherein the first portion is at least ten times thicker than the second portion. ### Claim 12 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8 wherein the second portion is made entirely of one or more of rayon, nylon, and spandex. ### Claim 13 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8 further comprising placing personalized indicia on a top surface of the first portion. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the computer of the first size is a laptop computer; and the computer of the second size is a laptop computer. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the computer of the first size is a tablet computer; and the computer of the second size is a tablet computer. ### Claim 16 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8 wherein the computer of the first size is a laptop computer. ### Claim 17 (depends on 8) The method of claim 8 wherein the computer of the first size is a tablet computer. ### Claim 18 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 wherein the computer of the first size is a laptop computer; and the computer of the second size is a laptop computer. ### Claim 19 (depends on 9) The method of claim 9 wherein the computer of the first size is a tablet computer; and the computer of the second size is a tablet computer.
