Is this comfortable to use in lap?

Okay, back in office, and looked at stands. On the bottom you have a bar running across the front of the base and another running across the back, and two for the sides. As long as you have 'enough lap' to accommodate the approximately 20 cm gap between front and back rails you should be OK. There are no sharp projections or corners I could see and it appears there would be sufficient gap between the fan and your lap to continue providing circulation in the lowest setting, although probably not totally collapsed. All that said, it should be noted this seems designed to sit on a desktop, and not on a lap like some others I have seen. For the price, I would say it is worth a try.

Asiya: I cannot say as we have them on desks in our office. I will try it out Monday when we are back in the office, but it would only be a short term test. I can say they have been in used for about a month now and we are all very pleased with them. For the money they are an incredible bargain. I would still buy more if the need arose.

I have no issues with the lap. I like this keyboard a lot. And I have had others.

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.

Yes and no.. I do put in on my lap and type but it just depends how much typing you are trying to do. The solution would be a laptop pillow. Hope this helps.

I've had mine for a while and occasionally use it on my lap. I find the heat very tolerable. This Think Pad is cooler than my T41. IMO this one of the best laptops. I may be biased because this is my fourth Think Pad.

Mine is not uncomfortable and I am on my laptop for long periods of time. I never take mine off, except to shower or swim.

I'm using it on my lap with one of the viewing angles right now. It's stable and a good angle for both viewing the screen and typing.

Yes, it is comfy in the middle. I've sat with my laptop before. I have a canine assistant, and she's too big to fit on the loveseat with me, but your assistants may fit better :-) I've also napped on it - it's in my office at work. I love it.

Depends on how you adjust the legs. I dont use it at all anymore. It is hard to adjust and cannot be adjusted to sit on your lap or used in bed. Too hard to figure out, to adjust.

Although it's not designed for lap use, I don't find it any more uncomfortable - and maybe a bit more comfortable - than just the laptop. At least it's not as hot.

The back is almost pillow like, so it can adjust to flat or angled. It is very comfortable to use on your lap either flat or tilted.

Hi, Anyone should be able to use it, but personally, I've found it to be uncomfortable to use. It digs into my wrists and causes numbness in my hands. The bean bag lap design is the only comfortable part of this lapdesk. I think the lapdesk should come with a removable bean cushion for the hard frame, so the user's hands and wrists can rest more comfortably during use. I hope this helped. Lydia

no, it is just a secure and comfortable "table" to put your laptop on. I spend a lot of time on my recliner with the laptop on the lapdesk and i do not feel any heat. however, my laptop is just 4 months old.

Mine works very well on a hard surface, such as a desk, but in my opinion it is too small to use on the lap.

It gets warm with heavy use, such as gaming (it handles flash games surprisingly well - almost as well as my i5 powered desktop), but it does not get hot. You can use it comfortably in your lap while wearing long pants, or even shorts, without fear of injury.

It's fairly small, so it's not too stable on your lap. Stomach, maybe, depending on how closely it resembles a hard flat surface :) On the bed should be OK.

Yes. Mine is on a desk and the angle feels just right. I spend a few hours a day on my computer (I'm a teacher) and my hands and arms aren't tired at the end of the day. In the reviews, it sounded like a lot of people where using it on their lap because it's cooler, which means they could move their legs up or down to adjust the angle.
