When used with a large laptop is it firm or does it bounce as you type? Does it hold the front of the laptop safely?

This device does support a larger (17") laptop. The device's movement is dependent on the support underneath the device. Soft tissue, a pillow, or open air will produce movement when typing. How much is dependent on mass. The mass of older 17" laptops is at least 7 to 8 lbs. Movement for these devices is minimal. A 15" laptop or smaller may allow for more movement. The area of the device is quite large. This increases the stability. This device lifts a laptop higher off a lap. The tilt angle Is adjustable (3 settings) and is not extreme. It does have a USB fan. Can the Laptop slide off? YES. If the desire is to get a hot laptop of a lap and have more space for USB devices, this model works very well.

I don't know how it holds up to a large laptop as mine is a T400 (which is only about 13" according to the specs) but I can tell you that the front doesn't slip off because there's a little lip at the front.

I use it w/ my 17" laptop & yes, it is safe & secure...no bouncing. it sits firmly. Hope this answer helps.

Mine keeps the laptop in place and there is no give to it as you type. It's quite stable.

It's very sturdy. I have a 17" laptop. It hangs over a little on each side, but is still steady on the lap.

I certainly holds my lap top well.. it is not as stable with only one pole down to hold things without being a bit tipsy - I'd say that 25 pounds.. maybe a bit more... actually using it as a bed table next to a hospital bed.. has lots of 'stuff' on it... I am pleased with it for what it is intended.

So far it hasn't slipped around. On occasion when moving my laptop it will move but with regular use it hasn't been an issue. I use it daily. I wish though I had purchased a larger size.

No it works any direction. But it's not very sturdy. It does help to rest your laptop on but you will need to support it with your legs. Also, the laptop easily slides off. I give it a 5 out of 10

No the keyboard doesn't bounce. Overall it's very stable and can hold the weight of my arms as I type. I'm very happy with the product as a whole.

It just "sits" on your laptop, with a counter-balance weight on the back. It does not clamp (securely or non-securely).

It's never slipped off from my laptop, unless i intentinally shift it on my keyboard. Also cause i've pretty much use my laptop in my desk But of course, if you flip your laptop upside down for whatever reason, duh its gonna fall off

There is a little bit of wiggle, but id say its plenty stable. I use it for my main computer desktop, i spend 90% of my time at home at this desk and i'd definitely recommend it.

I just tested mine. It's well-padded on the sides. Not so much on the bottom. I don't know what brand of laptop you use, so I can't speak to that with complete accuracy. It will depend partly on the thickness. But I use a similar laptop, and never had a problem with mine.

Believe it or not--yes. I just brought my laptop down to try it out. There is a slight wobble but that's possibly because i don't have the laptop secured in the straps, etc. I just set it on top. I'm not sure this would replace my standing desk/ledge, because it's not completely motionless, but it does completely hold a laptop sturdily enough to type. I hope that helps! (and note, the laptop in question is fairly heavy--older vintage MacBook Pro, fwiw.)

It does wobble. There is a slight crown to the back surface. I notice it when I type on it when it is lying on my desk. The one that I had on my 4 did not wobble. It is still worth the purchase!

It's sturdy enough to type on and it wouldn't break if you rested your hands on it but it will lean a little bit not enough for your laptop to slip off but enough to notice that should be expected though.

The bottom of the lap desk has two cushions that run from left to right; the one toward the rear is a bit larger than the one in front, giving a bit of a tilt to the top surface. It's only adjustable to the extent that you can squish the beads around in the cushions. However I find it provides a comfortable angle when the desk is used on my lap. On a table, not so much. I also recommend that you get some non-skid drawer liner from a hardware store and stick it to the top so your laptop won't slide around. Since I have a wide computer (17' MacBook Pro), I removed the spring clip on the left as well. For the price, this is a very useful and comfortable product. I recommend it.

sure hold up the laptop, but if you trying to moved away from you ,it's unstable and your computer may fall

No issues. It is smooth enough so that your mouse will glide on it, but if your keyboard has any grips whatsoever on the bottom, it will not move. I have the most basic Lenovo keyboard with 1cm rubber pads at each corner, and have had no issues at all.

I do not have a problem with my laptop sliding. it has like a mesh/ rough top. my laptop has grips on the bottom.

My laptop stays there pretty securely. It isn't tied down, so if you inclined the mat a lot, the laptop would probably slide off.
