It doesn't look comfortable on the lap. How does it rest on the legs?

It would be a little awkward on the lap/legs but still doable. As the back section is raised by nearly 3", the laptop on your legs would finish up fairly level to the ground.

I have never used it on my lap. I always use it on a table or desk, however I might agree with your observation. I don't believe isthat this is the best one to put in your lap.

I wouldn't expect it to be too comfortable on the legs, because I have only ever used it on the desk.

I purchase two Cooler Masters for my sons. They don't rest them on their laps but have them on their desks. So I am not sure how comfortable they would be on your lap. I like them because they are ultra quiet. Hope this helps

I have a laptop for convenience in traveling rather than the usual use of on my lap, so I cannot speak from routine use. However, to help you decide, I tried it on my lap. I am 5 foot 9 inches tall with legs in proportion to my height. I put the cooler with my Dell Studio XPS 16 with a heavy duty battery (total weight unknown but heavier than the typical unit) laptop ready to type on my lap. The curved part of the cooler rested about 2 inches from the curve in my knee and was not extremely painful, but definitely not comfortable after a few minutes. Additionally, with the cover of the computer open, it seemed slightly unstable. My recommendation is it can be used sitting directly on one's lap, but not for a lengthy period. For table use, I love it. It is so quiet that I periodically put my hand between the cooler and computer to ensure it is still running. The base of my computer is always cool. Feel free to contact me again for any further questions.

If you were to lay it flat, it would be sufficient for a lap top. Probably not as comfortable.

You need to recline to be comfortable. It is not meant to be used in the upright position.

It depends if you are comfortable placing your laptop on your lap (or legs) while using it.

Hi - apologies for the late response. We still have this problem. It's really not very comfortable.

I hope I can help you, I have had this for a few months and you "could" put it on your lap, but not very comfortably as the Cooling pad isn't quite as big as it appears.

I did try putting the tray on my lap and it is quite large but is not uncomfortable. I am rather small though, so in a larger lap it would lay flatter. I would be afraid of knocking it over since its about twice the size of my lap.

It is a bit more reclined than the gt. If you aren't planning on jogging, the gt has more space, especially leg room b/c the leg area isn't tapered.

The padded layer is quite subatantial. The soft black material feels like it may be filled with foam balls. I have been using this lap desk for years, and it's the only thing that works well dor me in keeping my lap cool. That comes at the cost od the laptop itaelf not venting well. The heat gets trapped on the desktop, so aometimea I prop the laptop up to keep it cooler. That isn't always necessary, though. Overall, the prosuct is very well made. It feels like a tiny piece of furniture.

Mine sits on the arms of my favorite chair, and sort of rests lightly on my legs. I love it. I use it when eating in front of the T.V. as well as working on my laptop. It's one of my favorite possessions.

It does not move easily. I do have a laptop sitting on it. Protects the desk well.

There is no cushion on the inside of the lip. So far though I have not had my laptop scratched by the lip.

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.

The bottom of the lap desk has two cushions that run from left to right; the one toward the rear is a bit larger than the one in front, giving a bit of a tilt to the top surface. It's only adjustable to the extent that you can squish the beads around in the cushions. However I find it provides a comfortable angle when the desk is used on my lap. On a table, not so much. I also recommend that you get some non-skid drawer liner from a hardware store and stick it to the top so your laptop won't slide around. Since I have a wide computer (17' MacBook Pro), I removed the spring clip on the left as well. For the price, this is a very useful and comfortable product. I recommend it.

The slots on the back are for adjusting the height of the incline. The design of the bottom is not optimized, it is not comfortable or easy to keep in your lap. If the bottom was flat and not inclined, one could put this in their lap comfortably.

Yes you can. It is stable enough to sit atop of both legs when seated. Like any device though, enough motion will cause it to slip off of your legs like a laptop would. The light weight of the device may make it easier to bump around but I personal have no issues on the bus using it on my lap.

It might be a bit wobbly on your lap but id does fold back so that you may use without keyboard. I am very happy with mine, for what it's worth.
