Does the flip up tray that keeps the laptop from sliding down interfere with your hands at all? It looks like it could...

For me it works great and doesn't interfere with my typing. I use it daily. My only complaint is because it is aluminum it's cold on your wrists sometimes

I use the keyboard on my lap, I have not had any problems. There is a little "grove" for the feet to fit into. If the angle was to great, maybe the feet would slip out.

I don't think so. I was a teacher, and I think it's to small for that. The top of the papers would extend past the top of the surface. Also, when you put your hand--left or right--on the surface, the non-slip bar at that keeps the laptop from sliding off the slated surface would be in the way.

The tray is not attached to the armrest in any way except the friction of the rubber feet under the tray and the plastic arms. I'm not small either, and there is plenty of room to put the tray out as far as I need. The problem is that there is nothing supporting the fold out arms that you rest the tray on expect for the plastic hinges, and they tend to crack and break after a while if you tend to pound on your keyboard. It takes months to break (unless you are REALLY hard on it), but break it will. It also causes the tray to jump up and down with the movement of the arms, which is a little annoying.

No, the top surface is smooth.... but my laptop has four rubber feet and doesn't slip off at all.

Most of the heat generated is located towards the back of the laptop, close to the battery. It might effect it, but if so very little. I love the cover thought because it is so smooth and your palm does not stick to the surfis at all.

I'm not sure if it tilted up where the wrist rest was, I couldn't get past the discomfort of a split keyboard. The wrist rest was hard not soft so in my opinion it wouldn't cush anything. Other reviews may talk about it more, sorry.

Your palm could be bumping the touchpad. I know this happens to me a lot. I also have this same netbook and noticed I am bumping the touchpad more often.

No. There are two parts to this pad. One is the bottom part which is the non slip rubber pad and the other part is the actual surface that you have the mouse on. This top part is dual sided and you just flip it over depending on what surface you want. The wrist rest is part of the non slip rubber underneath part. Hope this helps.

It will slant slightly towards the user but not much... it also has small pieces of rubber on the corners to help your laptop stay on it. I sit in my recliner with it in my lap all the time and have no issues if that is what your worried about

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

Sorry to say it will have a tendency to slide when it is in the tilt position - the edge is just not tall enough to hold back a computer, especially if the computer has a rounded front edge like my Dell. Even to make matters worse , I found a mesh tilt stand that would allow to leave the table flat and raise the stand, however, the stand also doesn't have high enough lip on it and the computer still slides off at times. Am looking at a way to make a higher edge that comes up above the front edge.

Yes it does. But I never had to deal with sliding issues since the rubber on top keeps my laptop in place.

I have to say, NO. The surface is very smooth and slippery.I have mine sitting on a table and my 17 Inch HP laptop slides a little until I get it positioned just right.

Absolutely! I have mine adjusted as follows: tray with the curl side up to keep the laptop in place, 1st joint to +75 deg., 2nd joint to -75 or -90 deg. (Depends on how much leg room you need) and the 3rd joint to 0 deg. This places the tray's legs resting on the couch on each side of your legs with the tray over your legs and angled for easy access to the keyboard. The 2nd joint angle determines the height off the couch for your legs. Hope this makes sense!

Laptop sat fine on the table. The problem I had was the lip of the tray. It's right where your wrists sit on the tray. Took a little time to get used to but both I and my wife like the tray

I have a triple fan that I set on my buddy and then put the laptop on the fan. I have not had any problems with slippage even without the fan. My laptop sits in the middle of the cup holder, light, and pen tray. This keeps it in place.
