is the stand sturdy enough for someone to draw with? Looking for something to hold and cool my MS Surface Pro tablet at the same time.

It sits on a pedistal (sp) and I feel it would not be what you are looking for. It wobbles.

Sure, the stand is stable and you can put a good amount of pressure on your tablet without moving the neck or the base. The only thing is the maximum height of the top edge of your tablet in landscape (I'm using an iPad Air for reference) is only 10 inches from the base. You might need to secure your tablet with Velcro tape or something so it doesn't slide around.

Sorry. I don't draw on it. It's a fantastic laptop, and I bought it mostly for its size & weight. I almost never use it as a tablet because it takes so little room to open it up and use the full PC functionality.

It's really sturdy enough -- in fact the main body is good grade aluminum tubes which slide into each other, extending and retracting as needed. The plastic "joints" are simply sleeves that lock the tubes at the correct height. The shelf that actually holds the tablet is secure (although it could be better designed to make it easier to get the tablet in. But not really a problem.) Bottom line: it's probably the best and strongest floor stand now available.

I use primarily as an iPad stand, actually. It does have two pressure bars on the bottom which I think are there to swing up and hold a book open. It is a quality stand...solid.

I personally don't own an ipad so haven't tried it, but it's quite study, it should hold it fine. You'd need a very strong wind to knock both the stand and tablet over.The stand is great and very light. The one drawback is that it doesn't fold to a size small enough to fit in a backpack or instrument case, the folded stand is still kind of long and can't be disassembled further.

As long your pen tip is close to the tablet your tablet will ignore other stimuli so it should be fine, but there is an option to disable touch sensitivity if you want to. It's what I did, I would too often lift my pen while drawing and accidentally make marks with my hand and it got annoying.

I do not use the tablet for drawing. I use it most always for 3D modeling rather than a mouse. My uneducated guess is that it is an excellent and less expensive choice for graphics/drawing. My only complaint is a lack of a software settable pressure threshold as the pen engages with the slightest touch to the tablet.

I think it would be great for drawing/doodling! I got mine and I LOVE it. And I'm by no means a professional. Comes with two fairly easy to use programs/software. It takes a few days to get used to, because you aren't looking at the tablet when you draw, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! I think it'd be a great gift for your daughter, especially if she wants to get more into digital art. :D

I would not recommend putting this stand in anyone's lap - it is too big for that. Since it is an easel stand with one side magnetic as well as dry erase and the other side with felt fabric, it would really work better to sit on something sturdy, i.e., a table, the floor.

I've actually found the stand to be quite stable, but I've also used it with the Goldtouch Go! Notebook stand and found that works pretty well too... though since it's meant for a laptop, even adjusted to the highest angle, the screen is angled back a bit more than one might normally use. I don't mind, but others might. There are a number of other stands for tablets and laptops that would probably works as well.

The stand is awesome. Very sturdy and surely could hold a macbook air but the arm that holds the tablet is about 3.5-4 inches across so you may need to widen it with something if it will be moved around a lot. I highly recommend this stand...it is still like new and I use it every day.

This stand is very sturdy and I believe meant for even a professional keyboard! Hope this helps.

Yes, it is appropriate. The pen/stylus is a plus as well as the strap to hold the Slate. Also, the feature of positioning it as a stand works well. You will enjoy the Slate and this case. HP has done a great job with this product. Also the material is excellent on the case.

It shouldn't be a problem, I am left handed and so long as you chose the setting for what works for you (mouse style movement or geographic movement on the tablet.) Use the settings and see what works. It depends on what you are doing but it is great for drawing. Am graphic artist, so long as you can get the whole pictureing what you are doing in your mind and not see it under the pen you should have no problem. Good luck!

Absolutely perfectly. I have one. And a mini too. That lip is stiff enough to hold any tablet. Enjoy. Excellent durable material too. It's a deal.

I purchased this for a friend who plays clarinet and he has not had problems. The stand is sturdy and does not tip over easily. I don't have an alto flute so I can't really speak to that. If you want a super heavy stand, you might try a Blayman.
