Does your lap stay cool with the "beanbag" on top? Especially on warm days?

Well, not really. It's not warm itself. But it does block any air from a fan etc, as anything on your lap like a pillow etc. would.

If you're out in the sweltering heat, yeah, I can see the bean bag being warm and get covered in sweat. However, it is removable. It's attached with Velcro. You can take it off and put it back on at will.

Yes, I used it all summer and it was fine. And much cooler than it would with my laptop directly on my lap.

I'm puzzled about the rave reviews regarding cool touch, too. The palm rest area on mine stays cool, but the touchpad is warm - warm enough to make it uncomfortable for me. And the first time I used it, I also experienced significant heat on the underside of the laptop on the side closest to the fan. It doesn't seem to get quite as warm now, but still warm enough that I don't want it sitting on my lap for very long. It's certainly not as cool, top or bottom, as our little Asus netbook.

The bottom is smooth plastic with rounded corners and would appear to me to be very comfortable. On the corners of the bottom rubber pads that are very useful on the top of the desk. The top is aluminum with many holes in it where it both receives/sends cooling air. The pads would help it from slipping off of your lap. Well made works good. Two usb plugs, one for slow and two for fast.

I've been using this cover for about 4 months. Use it on my lap all the time, and have not noticed any overheating.

Yes, it is cool to the touch. I have small things sitting on top of mine. The heat comes from underneath. We are very happy with ours.

I have bought two types of these in the past week. (not this one). I keep feeling heat on my lap. Do you feel heat with this one?

I hope I can help you, I have had this for a few months and you "could" put it on your lap, but not very comfortably as the Cooling pad isn't quite as big as it appears.

The bag is insulated, so it should keep things warm as well as cool. Haven't really tried it though. I heat my lunch at work usually. Very happy with this product overall. If you want something designed specifically to stay warm check out warmandtote.comMy daughter bought a couple of these for my grandsons and they work great

Not at all. It stays a comfortable temperature. I am too warm normally and this hasn't negatively effected me at all.

It does get warm. I have added a cushion to the bottom seat and now I can sit out there at anytime of day.

It definitely keeps it warm for awhile ... I would imagine if you left the flip top open it would cool faster.

I didn't find the bag to be too hot. We overnighted at just above an 8,500ft summit in Southern California with windy conditions and it kept me warm. It's light weight material allows for good night sleep in most conditions. It should be comfortable to use in both situations.

I have not had any issues with the laptop getting too warm to sit on my lap. I rarely use it that way because I find that too uncomfortable for long term use but the unit seems to remain relatively cool even when used for long periods of time. Hope that helps.

I have no trouble w/using it on my lap. I don't bother w/other hard surfaces when I use my laptop and the cooling board. I wonder if others know that using it on your lap is oriented one way, while using it on hard surface, it should be oriented the other. This prevents the prop from getting in your way or digging into treasured body parts. I think it's very high quality and well designed.

Yeah it stays cool. I've been laying on it all night. I'm still laying on it right now. It's not warm at all lol.

YES! I found it got very hot sometimes. It stays fairly warm, but I can only recall one time it was actually uncomfortable. For the most part I didn't notice.

no, it is just a secure and comfortable "table" to put your laptop on. I spend a lot of time on my recliner with the laptop on the lapdesk and i do not feel any heat. however, my laptop is just 4 months old.
