Below is an example of a three sided vocal booth one can use with laptops

For the budget minded individual, we're going to discuss how to build one yourself.

Things you will need:
2'x4'x8' interior wood studs
4'x8' foot x 1/4" sheets of plywood, fiberboard or drywall
R11 fiberglass insulation
3/4 inch drywall or woodscrews
pre-hung interior door
door knob assembly
triple expanding foam or silicone caulk
compression weather stripping and threshold compression seal for booth door
electric drill with appropriate bits
electric or hand saw
screwdriver,phillips or flathead as needed
caulking gun

Instructions
1. pick a corner for your booth. For the best results choose an existing corner with outside walls, near your recording equipment. Using outer walls will offer the best existing sound dampening and a solid existing structure from which you can build.
2. lay out your corner vocal booth. The size of your corner vocal booth will depend on how you intend to use the booth and the available space. Sketch out your design
3. purchase quality construction materials
4. remove any fixtures from the area you intend to use
5. frame out the walls of your booth using 2' x4' wood studs according to the dimensions outlined in your plans
6. install a pre hung interior door as shown on your plan, make sure the door can be opened without obstructions and permits easy access
7. using drywall, fiberboard or plywood, cover the outside of the booth and secure with screws
8. insert R11 insulation between the interior wall studs. Make sure the insulation has the paper side facing the installer.
9. using drywall, fiberboard or plywood, cover the interior of the vocal booth frame and secure with screws
10. drill access holes for signal cables and install all necessary cables before moving on
11. drill access holes for an extension power cord or install power outlets
12. to dampen sound transfer between the vocal booth and the studio, fill any gaps between the wall and floor, the wall and ceiling, booth wall and existing walls, as well as the holes for signal and power cables, using silicone caulk or triple-expanding spray.
13. to dampen sound transfer through the door, install compression weather strippings and threshold seal to the pre hung door. Allow any glued stripping to dry completely before verifying that all openings are sealed and the door operates correctly.
14. test power and signal cables for correct operation
15. further customize the vocal booth by added acoustical tiles to adjust the sound.
