Has anyone used this for a laptop? I need to be able to open the laptop comfortably on the left side. Thanks!

That is exactly how I use it. My laptop sits on the left side. I am able to open the laptop comfortably with plenty of room left. A monitor for my desktop sits on the right side.

Yes, a laptop should fit comfortably on the left; it just depends on how deep the laptop is. Right side is deeper than the left.

I'm sorry it took so long to post this, but YES!! I have my laptop on the left side of the desk, and my desktop on the right, printer in the middle. So, it is big enough for all my needs!! Hope this answered your question!

I wouldn't put a laptop in it. With that much weight the clips may give way. I put my iPad in there, but I saw that with much more weight the snaps came open. This could result in a laptop on the ground.

very easy to adjust position. i would adjust to desired position & then put lap top on. why risk dropping your laptop.

I would suggest adjusting first, then placing laptop on it. Easy to do. Great little desk.

Awesome! hmm.. Keep in mind that the base of the stand that would be touching the flat surface is shaped like a "T". I imagine that you're considering using the stand in your lap with the top of the "T" sitting across your thighs and the stem of the "T" sorta under your bum. I just tried this with my crane stand and i find that although the base is fairly stable, the position of my laptop would either be too close or too high no matter how it's adjusted. I also tried flipping the bottom stem the opposite way so, from a profile view, the stand is shaped like a "Z"; in this case it's not very stable because the bottom stem of the "T" is extended out past the couch (might possibly work if you have a couch with a deep seat). Overall, I wouldn't recommend doing this. I can only see this stand as useful if you need your laptop higher than your tabletop or in my case, as a DJ where it elevates my laptop above my mixer case. Maybe you could try searching for a "lap desk" and see if that application might fit your situation better.

I personally haven't tried this but the owner's manual or HP's FAQ at their site will probably help. Typically, this is accomplished by opening a door on the underside of the laptop, or, by removing the keyboard. This is my first HP so I'm not familiar with their procedure. The other laptop PC style computers I owned required me to remove the keyboard. Two of the keys are removed to expose clips which are easy to pinch allowing keyboard removal.Sorry I couldn't provide more help.

I'm sorry, I don't own a laptop. But it is a large bag. I wanted it to hang on the side of my wheelchair but it was too big for that. I wish I could help you.

Hi Luke, did you find any suitable caddy for your ACER E5-571. I have the same laptop. I was wondering which caddy worked best for you.

There is a tab on the bottom that holds an ipad or something of that size up and the top of the Lapgear is held open by an arm, but it would be awkward with the shape of the laptop. That's just for me, however. I just tried my laptop on it, and the weight is supported. As I said, just a bit awkward.

On the laptop I recieved, the entire screen is a touchpad. Just like a tablet. I'm quite sure what you mean by "the left side"

The keyboard does not flip 360deg to the back side. It opens like a typical lap top. I have not tried, but it may lay flat

I use the work station just for my wireless keyboard. The keyboard is pretty long so there isn't really room for the mouse next to it, but there's room for the mouse right in front of it along with a bottle of water or cup of hot chocolate. I realize that wouldn't work with a laptop though. Either way it's tight, but depending on the size of your keyboard, it's possible.

My Gateway has no legs or pads on any side, only the bottom which means they prefer it to be standing up, I guess. If the DVD and hard drive work while on the side, why could that hurt it?

As long as you can lift one corner off, just run your finger slowly between the cover and the laptop and it will pop off, you will think you're going to break it but I have done it many times and never broken it, the key is patience because you want a nice tight fit to keep the dust out...good luck and go slowly, maybe find some one with petite fingers to get it started ?

I have the Aspire One 722-BZ454, and it didn't open all the way up. What I did was take a metal workers file rounded / removed the excess thickness thus providing clearance so that it would open all up without damaging the laptop. This took about 15 minutes to accomplish. Filing a little each time with thew battery removed and installing battery to recheck.

Its setup to open on the left but I'm sure you can configure it to open from the right but it will take some handy carpentry work.

I use it with my monitor very nicely but I have the "Twist" so the laptop/tablet does not take much room. Still getting used to it.
