Can this be used like a large laptop or tablet? Are the cables at opposing ends (how many total)? Can it be safely used without the stand?

There are at least 3 cables and they come out the bottom up about 3". The monitor is very heavy and I doubt it could be used as a laptop.

You can not use it as a laptop or table. It is best to be used on it's own stand so you can rotate and tilt it. There are total of three cables "VGA" "AC POWER" & "USB"

if you go to wacom's website, you will see the layout of the DTH2200, all the cables come out from the back center, like an umbilical cord, then splits into 3 connector cables, and it rests on the pivoting lip where you place on the stand. it is preferable to use with the stand or attach to a monitor mount

I suppose this item could rest on your lap if the stand is removed, though it is quite heavy and probably wouldn't be comfortable there very long. The three cables (1 USB cable, 1 DVI cable, and 1 power cable) come out together from the back of the unit, directly opposite the center of the screen. I would not recommend using the unit without the stand, as it doesn't seem to have been designed with that in mind.

No, the surface of the stand isn't quite large enough for anything else but the laptop itself.

It is large enough, but won't allow the stand to sit sturdy on the stand I suggest turning your phone on either side if you're wanting to charge or use headphones. I have though been able to utilize my focus s charger on the stand (placing on the edge of a table) so the cord wasn't obstructed.

I use it with my monitor very nicely but I have the "Twist" so the laptop/tablet does not take much room. Still getting used to it.

It is sturdy, but it isn't a lap desk. A laptop would go on top and will sit 3-4 inches above a counter or desk. So, ergonomically, it isn't really comfortable for extended use. Without an external keyboard or mouse, the stand is more for display purposes than anything else.

Since it is similar in size to a Lenovo Thinkpad Tablet 2, it should, especially if you are using it without connecting to power or peripherals. When I connect my tablet to an external monitor, the cable goes in at the bottom where normally the frame is, so I have to turn the tablet upside down. The display re-orients itself, so the only thing that is a little odd is that the Windows button is at the top. This stand adjusts so well that you can set it to any angle, e.g. when connecting to a large monitor I set up the tablet between my keyboard and large monitor for those situations where I want to use the touch screen.

Not really. It's not tall enough; also, when you extend it all the way to full height it's not very sturdy. This product is best used for sitting on the bed or reclining while working with the laptop. For a standing desk, I suggest going with another product.

The base cannot be adjusted enough to allow a monitor to stand on it. In fact, when I opened my laptop on the shelf it covered up the monitor in it's clamp. There is also a weight limit, which I exceeded in the dual monitor station (plus laptop). When you exceed the weight limit the monitor and keyboard walk down the poll. If you have the right weight, it is fairly easy to raise and lower everything between a sitting and standing position.

I think it could, but the dimensions of the laptop might be too big and make the stand unstable, plus I'm not sure the "arms" are wide enough to fit the laptop. I love this stand for my iPad, but I don't think it could hold a laptop securely.

yes, as long as you don't jostle the stand. It has a wide perch and I have had books on it that are heavier than my laptop.

I use this with 2 monitors on the Varidesk and my laptop docked on my stationary desk. I had to get one longer monitor cable to reach the monitor on the far side. I don't use the laptop monitor while standing. I really love this desk, fwiw..

trust me on this, I was skeptical, and the customer service representative had to talk me into it, you need to remove the stand from the computer and force it into the second position, it is difficult, but it wont break, I suggest placing the stand on the floor and using your foot as a brace, you wont have to do this ever again though.

That's exactly what I wanted to do - the short answer is no. It has nothing to hold the laptop. However, if you laptop is not heavy (e.g. a tablet) and you can rip up straps or something, you could do it providing you can get the stand not to topple ontop of your face! I managed to get it to work with books and magazines using binder clips. But they're light and the stand was fairly well-balanced. The Levo stand is better for books, though, does exactly what you want and they make one for tablets, too. But I don't know if anything exists for laptops. Let me know if you find it!

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.

It doesn't fold up or anything, so if you have a case to put in in along with your laptop, it would be fine. It's no bigger than the laptop, but is angled, so it's about 2" in height at the tallest point. I pack my computer & stand together in the case I have with no problem. It's a nice product.

If your laptop is 9x13", it will overhang the platform slightly either at the back corners of the laptop or the front. If you're putting the stand in a corner against two walls you probably won't have room to tilt the display on the laptop back without the front of the laptop overhanging the front of the stand. Also, the feet are slick and it tends to slide around on a smooth surface so that could be a problem if you are typing on the laptop.

It is quite stable, and the articulation points could be tightened to make it even more so. I use mine next to two displays to elevate the laptop screen. I typically do use a BT keyboard, but have used the laptop keyboard many times as well.
