can I use this for sitting in my bed while using it for my 15" laptop &amp; is the height tall enough for me to sit in my bed

It would not be comfortable. Should be used with a chair. The laptop would be better on even a kitchen table. Sorry

It might be high enough for a shorter person (under 6' tall). But the wheels don't lock, and the top doesn't tilt, so I'm not sure how "stable" it would be. Also, it's not huge -- my MacBook Pro plus an external mouse fit, but not much else.

Yes, I always have mine in my lap. It's perfectly comfortable even though it doesn't have any padding. The legs (read: height adjustment) don't work in your lap. My laptop slides around a lot on the pad when it's in my lap, but that may be an issue with the lack of grippy-feet on my laptop.

I have a 13'' Mac Book and it's literally floating in it, so I'm pretty sure any 15-inches-ish computer should be comfortable in it.As of weight, I often put some other (heavier) hardware along with it, and the structure of the backpack is really solid; unless you're transporting bags of lead, I think you should be fine. :)Maybe somebody who actually owns a heavy laptop can come up with a more accurrate experience feedback, but from my point of view, I wouldn't worry.

Not sure because I use it with my 13'' with lots of free space. A 15'' without a sleeve slides right in with some wiggle room and still lots of room on top. If your sleeve is thin enough, there should be no problem.

About 15 inches, wouldn't fit under my bed. Not sure, maybe your bed is really tall?

It's a laptop STAND.The bottom platform you see in the picture must be on a flat surface, like a desk or table. The topmost platform holds the laptop. So, no, this is not suitable for using while in bed.

Yes it can definitely be used as a personal item for air travel which is what I used it for and it's great. I have not personally put a laptop in there but I'm sure that a 15" laptop will fit just fine.

If you weren't set upright, this desk would be too tall. If you were comfortable reaching up to type, the adjustable easel could be used to place the laptop at an angle, but it may be awkward if you were lying flat on your back.

It is too low to use at a desk in my opinion. I keep mine in full recline and the top of the front part of the cushion then is about 18-19 inches high. For the money especially, it is a excellent TV viewing chair or for relaxed reading. I find it hard to believe anyone would actually try to use it as a desk chair. Course I do use my tablet often when sitting in it.

Yes, I'm 5'7, I'm a little tall for it, you should be just perfect. I use mine while watching tv, it fist perfectly in my bedroom and is easy to handle.

It's not very tall and I would not suggest using it for a permanant bed. I have had friends sleep on it one night and decide to sleep on the floor the next it is so uncomfortable.

I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much). However, when you extend it to it's maximum height, not only is it not quite high enough to use as a standing desk (and I am short!), but it also gets pretty wobbly. Right now, I have mine set at about 3 ft. and that is perfiect for sitting on the side of my bed and using my laptop. ( We have a somewhat tall bed, FYI.) I esitmate one could raise it another 8 inches or so since there are 2 more holes left on the metal post, but as I said, it gets pretty wobbly when fully extended. I do like it very much, though. Hope this helps. I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much).

The cooling portion is in the middle, so I don't see it being an issue. The main problem that you'll have is your laptop will certainly be larger, over the sides of the base. Mine is a 15" and it hangs over a little bit. As long as that doesn't bother you, it should be fine.

i dont see why it wouldnt i have a dell 15'6 inch and i have no problem i also keep mine on a table and dont put it on my lap or anything else because the pad is thin and the fans are exposed

Hello! I bought this podium desk with the intention of standing in front of it and using my laptop. It has been a Godsend because my hips (arthritis) no longer bother me because I am not sitting! Never used while sitting on couch--you can adjust the height to use there if you wish, I would think. Depends on how tall you are and height of couch. Hope this helps you somewhat! I LOVE this desk!! Good day! Patty

I put an 11 inch laptop in it and it is pretty tight, I do not believe the 15 inch would fit.
