Do Macs still keep sliding off or has surface been improved? I have lap desk that worked well with my Windows laptop, but my new MacBook Air keeps sliding off. I like this one a lot, but if light laptops still slide off as in 2011 review, then it sort off makes no sense for me. Thanks! Do Macs still keep sliding off or has surface been improved?

My laptop has rubber feet so it does not slide. You could use anti-slip dycem to avoid slipping: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_5?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=dycem&sprefix;=dycem

I believe you can drag/drop too. I have a Mac and it worked like that for me. However, I chose the Mac TimeMachine to back up all my pertinent data. PS. I had mine 3 months and it stopped working. I just had to contact Toshiba for a replacement. Hoping I don't have another issue with the new one.

Matt, The unit itself is very stable. The keyboard doesn't shift in relation to the iPad and the iPad maintains the angle you choose. But I hate typing on my lap, because the iPad & keyboard is much smaller than a laptop. I had the exact situation Saturday and the unit moved because my legs don't lend themselves to stability. I can't keep my thighs together (good thing I'm not a woman!). My solution is to put my briefcase or a large folder/tablet on my lap to provide a more stable surface. But the shifting is not the fault of the Airbender. In fact, I'm finding is very stable in almost every configuration. Matt, The unit itself is very stable.

I LOVE mine!!!! Fits PERFECT but I don't have an Airbook. I just have a MacPro 13. Not sure if there's a huge difference. I'm assuming the Air is a lot thinner.

I use a MacBook Air, so I tried it on my husband's MacBook Pro, and it did work. If you get it, I suggest you place it on a rubber pad so it won't slide all over. I really like using mine.

Sorry, I've never used a Mac. I sure love mine. Hope you get it squared away.

I'm still using this keyboard, I find the keys ever so slightly firmer. They also seem to be ever so slightly more contoured.Texture is fine, but is less 'rubbery' than a regular Mac keyboard. The most-used keys have smoothed out a bit; they start out with a slightly matte finish and touch, but over time this has smoothed out. This isn't much of a problem as the contour is perfectly fine - it's not like I'm slipping off the keys.Spacing is very close, and it's quite comfortable moving from this keyboard to one of my 2 other 'regular' Mac keyboards. The angle is fine for me, but I must point out it's fairly low and it's fixed. I'm still using this keyboard, I find the keys ever so slightly firmer.

I have a late 2014 model macbook pro 13 inch. The case is good for protection, but like in my review the base cover comes off occasionally. The lid/screen cover is solid and has never come off. I should note, I take my macbook in and out of its carrying bag and open and close the lid multiple times daily. I also have the kuzy keyboard cover, screen protector and palm rest. Those items are a necessity as well and work just perfect. I work in a dusty environment so its vital if I want my macbook to have a good life.

I have put my 17" MacBook Pro (a pretty heavy laptop) on it, and handled it well. It's lip will probably keep a laptop from sliding off as long as the laptop isn't widely rounded on the bottom front (and maybe even if it is).

I don't have that problem. It's definitely a tight fit, but if it were looser I'd be afraid of it slipping off like other cases I've tried. I've had mine about 18 months (approx) and it's been great. It now has a few very light scratches on it, but better it scratched my case than my Mac. Just bought a MacBook for my fianc and ordered the same cover for her and hers fit perfectly as well. I guess anyone could get one that wasn't manufactured perfectly but I'm two for two good ones. Hope this helps.

I use a wireless MAC keyboard and have a relatively light touch. Thus, there is very limited, if any, wobble. But I can see that wobble might be a problem if you have a heavier touch or use a heavier keyboard.

Siska - my newest one just broke last week. Less than 6 months old. Losing count of how many this makes that I've shelled out good money for. Brand new each. I'm looking....I may be a fool, but I'm thinking of trying the wireless. Doubt it will be much better - Apple doesn't seem much interested in making decent, reliable keyboards or mouse for their MacBook Pro ---- and considering how much they both cost, why would they want to stop gouging the customers now when there is money to be made? I'll write a review when I get a wireless. I will warn you, however: I once tried a non-Apple wireless system, and it destroyed my macbook pro. I mean....ate it up. I had to send it away for serious repair.

I use touch screen workstations everyday. I sell them. They are great if you're working with pictures, touch-based games, using painting and drawing software, etc. But at the end of the day, when it comes to serious work, you need a seriously comfortable keyboard and a responsive trackpad. Nothing beats the Macbook line. Most of my work is typing, so having a touch screen is useless. I prefer touch on a all-in-one desktop instead of a laptop. It's just unnatural to reach up to a laptop screen to touch every time. The macbook trackpad has multi-finger gestures that are just more intuitive than any touchscreen for moving windows around and controlling your system. I thought about purchasing a touch-screen enable windows laptop, but I'm not a huge windows fan (I see too many problems daily with windows), not to mention I simply would not have a use for the touch screen. I take the Macbook line's trackpad over any touchscreen.

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

Before I ordered I was concerned about that too. I have a Mid 2012 13-inch and I really barely notice that the cover is on the keyboard. The texture took a couple of days to get used to, but the cover itself isn't loose and doesn't come off unless I pull it up. I just turned it upside down and it still didn't come off haha.

The MacBook Air gets slightly warm in rear mid-section, where the pencil-sized battery is located. You can also feel a little warmth at the top of the keyboard if you seek it out. I would not put it on my bare upper legs if I were wearing shorts, but have no problem sitting it in my lap. My comparisons would be 12 years of PowerBooks and MacBook Pros, which definitely got warmer. James Fallows at "The Atlantic" keeps a journal about his experiences with his MacBook Air. Also, check out David Pogue at the NYT and Walt Mossberg at AllThingsD for their opinions. But, remember, most people have had their MBAs only since March or April. This is such a new product that one must decide to be something of a guinea pig.
