I have an HP Pavillion 17" laptop with a rounded edge. I tried a few others and had to bring them back. Will this hold my laptop without sliding off?

As long as it's not tilted to the side it should be fine. I have a 13" Macbook Pro and the lip on the end holds it up in place nicely.

it probably won't slide off but I think it's too small for a 17 inch laptop I love the pad for a netbook or smaller laptop but I have a 17 inch laptop and had to go with something bigger but it could work

I used it with a 17" laptop until the laptop quit. It will stick out over the edges but should not slip. We have two of these and love them.

I do not think the size matters....I believe it will. The thickness of your laptop may be a problem since the two small prongs are short and yes your laptop may slip. The good side is it is portable and foldable. The stability is my issue.

It certainly can, as it does down clip securely. But as long as I don't move the laptop around, it won't fall off.

It is over 14" in length, so it ought to be fine. I have an HP ProBook, and it hangs over the edges a little, but I too am messy, and am very happy with it. I have no trouble typing with it, and it stays in place. I just leave it on my laptop all the time. I washed int once when I thought it might need it, and it ws fine.

Yes it will hang over about an inch. This is a good item to have with a smaller lightweight laptop. I have a 15" also and it is a bit heavy so I don't use it with the slant option.

It would def, I have a 16" laptop and it was still a bit larger and supported the laptop without it being at all close to the edge.

I have a 15 inch laptop and it fits perfect. A 17inch would hang over the sides, but I think it would still work. I love this thing.

It's very sturdy. I have a 17" laptop. It hangs over a little on each side, but is still steady on the lap.

no it won't -- it'll get really tight ---this is really designed for thin laptops like MAC Air or the newer HPs

In general the diagonal measure of the laptop should not matter. My laptop is probably 17 inches or so diagonally and it works fine with this stand. What matters most is if the thickness of the laptop or shape of the case causes instability with the two relatively small "feet" that hold the laptop in place. This is more of concern if you want the laptop at a steep angle because the "feet" flip out about an inch so if your laptop does not have a flat case it could be less stable when at the steeper angles. I simply cut a straw into two small pieces which I put over the feet to make them longer and therefore more stable when I need maximum height for the screen.

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.)

Hi FT. I am sure your laptop will fit. My 17 inch has lots of extra room, at least two inches on all sides, so I am sure the thickness won't be a problem. Caringz

Mine keeps the laptop in place and there is no give to it as you type. It's quite stable.

The stand opens wide on the bottom and in general keeps the laptop stable. It may depend on the shape of the bottom part of the laptop. If your bottom of your laptop is too curved so that it is not fit flush against the lower stays on the stand it may slip out. It has not been an issue with the 17 inch Envy laptop.

I think the 17.3 laptop will be a little big for it when inclined. The stand will certainly hold it as it is very sturdy. If you won't mind the laptop's frame being slightly bigger than the inclining panel, go for it!

It would depend on how large your laptop is. Mine is a 17" and it is too big for this particular lap desk. Otherwise I love this lap desk.

I have to say, NO. The surface is very smooth and slippery.I have mine sitting on a table and my 17 Inch HP laptop slides a little until I get it positioned just right.
