Would this item be able to hold/support a laptop in the reclined position?

I just tried it...I'm actually typing on my laptop, on the book stand now. I have a fairly light MacBook, so any laptop that is heavier that a new MacBook might be putting weird stress on the standing arm. There's a little bit of give (or bounce as I type) and I wouldn't want to rest my hands completely on the laptop. I don't think the stand is set up to withstand pressure in this specific direction, you know? You would also have to adjust the arms that usually hold the pages down. In their normal rest position they would block your hands from typing. But it's working for me right now and I'm been using my for heavy science books for about 3-4 months. Hope that helps!

It would support a laptop but I do not know how you could set one on it.The base is only wide enough for the bottom of a book.You would have to use the clear plastic -that you would use for the book to lean on,to set the laptop on.But yes it would support it,or mine would. hope this helps, Best of luck

Yes. It is supporting my 13" apple laptop right now and could easily hold something heavier and wider. This is a VERY sturdy book stand.

Are you talking about a 36" Toshiba or similar (I used to have one)? I'd say this stand would probably support it, since it has a center partition. But it is just 3/4" particle board, so I wouldn't swear to it.

The legs aren't that thick, so no problem. My recliner has a wooden base that only allows the legs to come about 3" under my chair, and that's perfect, for me. When I pivot the top, the edge of it is even with the inside of my chair arm, and when it's pivoted to me, my laptop is at the perfect angle to not block my view of the TV, but allow me to type comfortably on my computer.

I think it would work well. It is pretty sturdy. My laptop weighs about 5 lbs and I don't have any weight issues with it. There is also a lip on the front that would hold a book well. The lip is about 1/2 inch thick.

That's exactly what I wanted to do - the short answer is no. It has nothing to hold the laptop. However, if you laptop is not heavy (e.g. a tablet) and you can rip up straps or something, you could do it providing you can get the stand not to topple ontop of your face! I managed to get it to work with books and magazines using binder clips. But they're light and the stand was fairly well-balanced. The Levo stand is better for books, though, does exactly what you want and they make one for tablets, too. But I don't know if anything exists for laptops. Let me know if you find it!

The table that holds the laptop can be flat or adjusted by a toothed grip under the table to be positioned at any required angle. Once tightened in position it will not move.

The second tier isn't really that wide. If you put a board or something like that across it maybe you could. But it only can come so close together so definitely couldn't hold a laptop without mounting or placing something else on the second tier. Hope that helps.

No, the dimensions of the area on the base which can support the laptop are ~ 20" x 10". Your laptop dimensions probably mean that it is heavy as well, I wouldn't recommend this stand (not sturdy enough).

The arm is certainly strong enough to support a laptop weight BUT the shelf part is probably not wide enough for a laptop base. Hope that helps=)

This would work. The only issue that I have with it is that when you close your laptop it doesn't stay in place because it's held on basically by static.

It's not wide enough to support a laptop. I use it for laundry soap, dryer sheets, etc. Hope this helps

Absolutely! I own 2 of these tables it will roll close to the bed and hold your laptop. They are study and can be put beside a chair for a stand as well. Multiple uses you won't be sorry

I am not sure that would work out for you. It has to be assembled to be in a certain configuration and the top has to be balanced so the laptop will not fall off if the angle is too steep. By the way, I find the unit a bit wobbly. I periodically have to tighen up the screw for the leveler. My sister said she also had ordered one a long time ago and had the same problem. I would not buy it again.

I bet it would work, but as pictured it is fairly reclined in its upright position.

Not really. If you flip the tray around, then the incline would be backwards, and the guard to keep your laptop from sliding down would be at the top. If you don't plan to use the incline ever, then I suppose this can work, but I wouldn't recommend it.

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

The only way I think that will work is if you leave off legs and use flat surface. There is nothing underneath the top to stabilize on your lap. The laptop might slide back and forth on the top as there is no guides on sides to keep on to the surface. It works best to transport from hotel to hotel or place to stop during your trip and use.
