Is this going to be ok sitting on a lap? Not just sitting on a hard surface, but on the legs for an hour or two.

Yes. It is fine on your lap and you don't really feel the heat. I bought mine a few years ago and it doesn't work anymore (the cable has a short) but I still use it in my lap.

No, this is small and would not stay on your lap.It is meant to go on a flat surface to hold the tablet.It works fine but it's not going to work in your lap.

It's better to use it on a table. If you use it on your lap, it is slightly uncomfortable. I would recommend to use a laptop stand or something similar to balance it. Still love it, though.

It is doable, but not comfortable, but there really isn't and case for this that would work well sitting in your lap, unless you have a type cover

It's not very stable for me when it's right on my lap if I don't have something underneath it. It's just more comfortable for me to use it on a flat surface.

The thing to keep in mind with this is that it is a kind of firm foam rubber, not hard plastic. I have never done it but I suppose it could fit on your stomach while you were reclining. The challenge you'll face with doing so is that because the wide flat center portion is not completely stiff, the weight of the laptop will likely push the 'bumps' down so the Cool Lift as a whole conforms to your tummy. Resulting in likely not really having 4 point support (two Tall and two small Bumps); but more like 3 point support (2 tall bumps and the dome of the center molded over your belly....

I use my laptop desk all of the time with these; however, it rests on my lap. The arms are not too high though and you should be fine.

It is not really "fitted" for a lap but i cant imagine it is very uncomfortable. I honestly don't use it like that so this is the best answer in can give you.

I do not think it would be comfortable for hours. It is not thick enough. You might want to upgrade. Also I would recommend a stool with the ring around the bottom to rest your feet on.

As long as you set it high enough, as on a table, books, etc. I think lap would cause you to look down.

Too flimsy for a lap unless you use a lapdesk...you know the kind thats a pillow with a flat hard surface...

This is an ergonomically designed keyboard, so I'm not sure why you'd want to use it in your lap as that might place too much pressure on your wist. I've never tried it. I would suggest at least having a flat surface in your lap to place the keyboard on. The keyboard is solid, even when divided (as long as the clasp is closed), so I would think you could put it in your lap without a problem relating to the keyboard itself.

It is ok, but to keep it on your lap, you would require the laptop stand to be placed on some soft material. Since its base edges are sharp, it's not comfortable to keep it directly on lap.

I have been using this lap desk for a very long time. Even as I type this note on my laptop it sits on my lap. The bottom is a comfortable cloth material that is comfortable on bare legs. No heat from the laptop gets through. Inside the desk I have two portable hard drives. They are hot but my legs are not. This has been one of my best purchases.

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

Only with a lap board...the 4 feet would hurt your legs very quickly !! But on a table...it's terrific !
