How is it to have on your lap?

Well it is easier to use than a "laptop" because you can use it a a large tablet and it is windows 8, so you can use your finger to do "all the walking".

Really fine. Can be slightly warm, but I've done it with shorts and haven't had a problem. I really love it. Very portable. Fast. Flexible.

It's a little too small to work very well directly on my lap. Having a larger flat surface (i use a piece of 1" x 12") helps a lot.

Yes, I always have mine in my lap. It's perfectly comfortable even though it doesn't have any padding. The legs (read: height adjustment) don't work in your lap. My laptop slides around a lot on the pad when it's in my lap, but that may be an issue with the lack of grippy-feet on my laptop.

Too flimsy for a lap unless you use a lapdesk...you know the kind thats a pillow with a flat hard surface...

Yes, I've worked with it on my lap and it's very cool, compared to my old Dell.

I've used it on my lap, but it's a little awkward. I find placing it on a table to work better. I do really like the item, because I can put a puzzle in progress away when not able to work on it.

Hi The keyboard has a back base support, so that you can work it on your lap.

No you don't. It can be carried and placed just about anywhere...even on your lap.

Hi,I just got mine and love it and haven't had any discomfort with it; however, there is no cushion on the corners but a rubber lip near the edge (as pictured) so the laptop doesn't slip off. It is made of hard plastic with the cushion underneath for lap comfort.

Mostly your lap. There aren't any fans or anything to keep it cool and the surface is hard plastic.

regret to inform you ...but a laptop really does not belong on a lap. they are hot because they are a extremly compact version of a pc computer. laptops are delicate and not meant for constant use like pc's . they will overheat if suffocated. laptop is a very expensive toy designed for business persons on the go that cant take their whole pc with them on the road or traveling. laptop is a handy item for business or on the road or for college. laptops are very expensive to repair or upgrade. let your laptop breath....

Not very good. Just for the fact the angle it sits at, makes it really worse if you don't have a keyboard. Your wrists start to hurt because of the angle if you are using the touch screen keyboard or swipe controls. But it will sit in your lap. Now if your laying down say like watching a movie then it works rather well for it to sit on your chest. Hope this helps.

It is doable, but not comfortable, but there really isn't and case for this that would work well sitting in your lap, unless you have a type cover

Another "yes" vote for lap typing and that's a priority for me. I could see this varying based on body shape but I can sit on a couch or chair with it on my lap and type comfortably. It feels very stable with the rear clip out (in landscape mode) and although I wondered initially I think it is weighted correctly so that it wouldn't risk tipping over backwards.

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

I very seldom hold it in my lap, but it does not seem to get overly hot. I sometimes use it on a pillow and have never had a problem with to much heat. this has been a really good tablet/laptop and I would recommend it to anyone that likes windows 8. It took me a while to get used to, but I now use quite a lot. Long battery life is a big plus.

Sits well on desktop or hard surface. My wife uses it on her lap routinely. In my opinion well balanced.
