Can it support the weight of a lap top w/o moving?

So far yes, and it seems quite stable. However, it is fairly new, less than a year.

Yes, I have use the laptop on mine before. The laptop I used was approximately 4 to 5 pounds. Just make sure the tray is firmly supported before you place your laptop on it. This is a great product, I'm sure you'll be very happy with it.

If your laptop is heavy, it won't hold your laptop when the top panel is flat. It will tip over.

I think it would totally handle that weight. I have an extremely heavy laptop, external monitor, keyboard and mouse on mine and it's great. (all told probably around 21 lbs.) It's very sturdy. I really love this desk. It has saved my back and I feel so much more productive through the day.

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.

Yes. I believe it will hold that weight. its very sturdy built. I think it would even hold an old style tube monitor which are very heavy.

No.... Weight, yes the stand can hold the weight.. But the laptop is too big to fit on the rubber feet under the laptop. Yes it will fit, but you will scratch the bottom of laptop on the stand and it will slip off because it's metal on metal, no rubber feet. I do not recommend it

Yes. I put my iMac on the top portion of the desk. The lower drafting table is designed as just that-- a drafting table. It will support the weight of a laptop because it is made to support the weight of someone drawing on the surface.

You could use it for that but it is a little heavy and awkward to travel easily. It would be a lot easier to use a larger lap top as far as portability!

No, this is a freestanding unit And frankly it does not have the structural integrity to support a significant amount of weight. Good luck :-)

I would advise against it. It would probably hold a laptop, but the angle of the laptop would not be good.

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.

Believe it or not--yes. I just brought my laptop down to try it out. There is a slight wobble but that's possibly because i don't have the laptop secured in the straps, etc. I just set it on top. I'm not sure this would replace my standing desk/ledge, because it's not completely motionless, but it does completely hold a laptop sturdily enough to type. I hope that helps! (and note, the laptop in question is fairly heavy--older vintage MacBook Pro, fwiw.)

I have an ASUS laptop that weights 4.2 lbs and it is kind of too heavy for this stand. The issue is the glass top of the stand, since it is held by four metal blocks that are glued to the glass with an adhesive the weight of the laptop caused those to come loose from the glass. I tried re-gluing with super-glue but that did not work, I wound up using electrical tape to secure the top. Given that that 4.2 lbs. seems too heavy for this stand I would NOT recommend using it for a 15 lb monitor.

I believe it would be sturdy enough for a laptop but for anything heavier, I don't believe it would work. Also, there really isn't much more room for anything else than a laptop and mouse.

No it is not that heavy, but I don't use mine as I am in a wheelchair and the thing really isn't big enough. It won't stay on my lap.

It's adjustable so I would think so. Personally I use it for a thin laptop. It is lightweight.
