Is it comfortable to use on your lap?

Absolutely. I rarely use this on a hard surface. I don't flip the prop up so it's a great fit. Just remember to keep the fan clear so it can circulate the air. This is my second one. I tried another style but this one was better by far. Much better quality for the money too.

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.

For the most part. The lever that props it up gets a bit uncomfortable, but I love it. Am glad I bought it.

I put a small pillow on my lap with a tv tray on top of that and then the computer and base of top of that. I like to use it with the leg on the base down so that would dig into the lap without something to rest it on. It is a good height then too.

I do occasionally but it works better if you use it on a hard surface. Example placing a thin flat hard covered book on your lap then the air board on top. Hope this helps!

I usually use my laptop on my lap and in my bed. Would this work for me or is there something else that anyone can suggest me try out.

I frequently use mine with laptop and mouse on my lap and not resting on a chair. It's reasonably sturdy and I believe would meet your need. I am very pleased with this product.

Hi,Anyone should be able to use it, but personally, I've found it to be uncomfortable to use. It digs into my wrists and causes numbness in my hands. The bean bag lap design is the only comfortable part of this lapdesk. I think the lapdesk should come with a removable bean cushion for the hard frame, so the user's hands and wrists can rest more comfortably during use.I hope this helped.Lydia

It depends if you are comfortable placing your laptop on your lap (or legs) while using it.

Mine sits on the arms of my favorite chair, and sort of rests lightly on my legs. I love it. I use it when eating in front of the T.V. as well as working on my laptop. It's one of my favorite possessions.

Maybe, if you plan to use a small mouse, but it won't be really comfortable (the surface is not flat because of the touchpad and the buttons). On the other hand, the lapdesk is well made and feels solid.

I have been using this lap desk for a very long time. Even as I type this note on my laptop it sits on my lap. The bottom is a comfortable cloth material that is comfortable on bare legs. No heat from the laptop gets through. Inside the desk I have two portable hard drives. They are hot but my legs are not. This has been one of my best purchases.

Yes. It stays very cool on the bottom so it does not become too hot on the lap. The rubber grips on the pad help keep the laptop from sliding off the pad when you have it at slight angle on your lap.

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.

Cushion side down on your lap for comfort. Put the computer on the hard side.

Yes. It is fine on your lap and you don't really feel the heat. I bought mine a few years ago and it doesn't work anymore (the cable has a short) but I still use it in my lap.

Yes, I use it on my lap all the time. It seems very secure to me, and I have it in some pretty weird positions sometimes depending on what kind of chair I'm in and what other things I have piled around me as I work. It never topples or even feels like it might topple.

No, not really. However, it will not burn you. I hardly have it on my lap, but if I were to, I usually put it on top of a pillow on my lap. Main reason for me is to help keep the laptop from heating up.

It is ok, but to keep it on your lap, you would require the laptop stand to be placed on some soft material. Since its base edges are sharp, it's not comfortable to keep it directly on lap.

I found that it works very well on your lap, but of course you have to be careful not to tip your legs too suddenly. It is very sturdy and I could not be more pleased with it.

Mine is not uncomfortable and I am on my laptop for long periods of time. I never take mine off, except to shower or swim.
