Is it comfortable to use on your lap?

Absolutely. I rarely use this on a hard surface. I don't flip the prop up so it's a great fit. Just remember to keep the fan clear so it can circulate the air. This is my second one. I tried another style but this one was better by far. Much better quality for the money too.

I have no trouble w/using it on my lap. I don't bother w/other hard surfaces when I use my laptop and the cooling board. I wonder if others know that using it on your lap is oriented one way, while using it on hard surface, it should be oriented the other. This prevents the prop from getting in your way or digging into treasured body parts. I think it's very high quality and well designed.

For the most part. The lever that props it up gets a bit uncomfortable, but I love it. Am glad I bought it.

I put a small pillow on my lap with a tv tray on top of that and then the computer and base of top of that. I like to use it with the leg on the base down so that would dig into the lap without something to rest it on. It is a good height then too.

I do occasionally but it works better if you use it on a hard surface. Example placing a thin flat hard covered book on your lap then the air board on top. Hope this helps!

Yes. It fits around me quite comfortably with the legs open. Plus there is always the option to fold in the legs and it will still sit quite comfortably on your lap. Hope I helped

I have used it with the keyboard on my lap and, well you can do it, but it is not as comfortable. You can, in exchange, put the back of the cover against the top of the keyboard and use the iPad (while still inside the cover) as you normally would, this is quite more comfortable.

Yes - the shape makes it more comfortable than you might think. I sit in it a few hours at a time when working on my computer with no problems. It comes with a thin seat cushion that makes it more comfortable.

Yes, on my lap it works without problems. In bed, when you lie down it may be difficult :-)

Another "yes" vote for lap typing and that's a priority for me. I could see this varying based on body shape but I can sit on a couch or chair with it on my lap and type comfortably. It feels very stable with the rear clip out (in landscape mode) and although I wondered initially I think it is weighted correctly so that it wouldn't risk tipping over backwards.

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.

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.

I've been typing with it on my lap... and itseems to be staying in place without any issue as all. My preference is to have it all on a table, but in a pinch my legs work.

The bottom of the lap desk has two cushions that run from left to right; the one toward the rear is a bit larger than the one in front, giving a bit of a tilt to the top surface. It's only adjustable to the extent that you can squish the beads around in the cushions. However I find it provides a comfortable angle when the desk is used on my lap. On a table, not so much. I also recommend that you get some non-skid drawer liner from a hardware store and stick it to the top so your laptop won't slide around. Since I have a wide computer (17' MacBook Pro), I removed the spring clip on the left as well. For the price, this is a very useful and comfortable product. I recommend it.

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

I have not used the LapGear Deluxe but it sounds like that would be the better option. I used the MyDesk with my 17in laptop and mouse to play League of Legends and was comfortable for about an hour. I would recommend seeing what other reviewers say about how the Deluxe lapdesk rests on your legs as that was my main concern with LapGear's MyDesk. I hope that helps.

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.

You can use it, but it will rest on your lap. The legs won't reach your chair. It works well that way, though.

Yes, I use it on my lap all the time. It seems very secure to me, and I have it in some pretty weird positions sometimes depending on what kind of chair I'm in and what other things I have piled around me as I work. It never topples or even feels like it might topple.

I use a mouse with mine. But my laptop sits on a desk, not my lap. If you want to use your laptop in bed, or while you're sitting in your recliner, this isn't going to work. You'll need something bigger.
