Can you rest this on your knees? If not, do you know of laptop coolers that are able to do this? Thanks!

Definitely not designed to rest on your lap. Learned the hard way and ended up breaking off one of the fan blades from applying pressure in the wrong place.

I wouldn't recommend this for lap use. It's really not designed for it. You'd be better off looking at the NotePal LapAir for your purposes. http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/category.php?category_by=0&category_id=1751&category_name=Lap%20Use

Although it's not designed for lap use, I don't find it any more uncomfortable - and maybe a bit more comfortable - than just the laptop. At least it's not as hot.

If you use it in the flat position, then yes. But if you want to raise that portion of the table then no. I always use it in the flat position. I particularly like the fan. It keeps my laptop cool.

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

Yes, all you need to do is flip it over so that the fan covers are on the bottom and the legs stick up. The rubber pads on the legs grip your laptop and the fans blow the heat away. I'm using mine right now on a fluffy down comforter.

One of the things you would need to concern yourself with is the large fan pulls air from the bottom of the cooler. That would need to be left clear of anything you would be wearing. I usually have one end on a chair arm or keep my knees apart for the opening.

The cooler is a little short in height. It is durable and can sit on it if you are short. Hope that helps

Probably, but the cooler is pretty light weight so keep the "load" down to a reasonable limit. There are coolers designed for seating, but maybe not in this size.

It might work okay, but it's not really meant for soft surfaces. and it's 4 points would like sink in to a soft bed. I'd recommend against it for that, but it's great for hard surfaces, and opens up the bottom of the laptop for those that are prone to get hot. On a bed, it might not lift it much because it's not a solid surface on the bottom.

Sometimes. I just turn it over to a cooler side. For the comfort and support, it is well worth the effort.

it depends on how big a lenovo pad is. If it is smaller than the dimensions of the chill hub, yes, if larger, then no. Well, maybe no. I did not realize the bottom of the pad has ridges. Harsh on a lap or leg. I added my wooden lap pad (padded) and it works great, and I have used the extra ports that are built in. If you don't have a lap pad, a pillow will do. Careful when sticking inside a laptop carry case, bend the power wire often enough and it breaks where you cant fix it.

Yes, with difficulty. The support legs are not long enough to extend beyond the cooling pad to hold the laptop. Even without a cooling pad, and with a small laptop, I put a Velcro strip across the top of the support and a matching strip on my laptop. You would have to Velcro the cooling pad to the support and the laptop to the cooling pad. Also, depending on the center of gravity, you may have to tighten the pivot bolt quite tight to prevent the support from tipping forward. Actually your system might extend behind the pivot enough that it is does not tip forward.

Yes, but the best way to do it is NOT how it's pictured. Instead of using the edges as the legs facing towards your lap, fold it so the legs face towards you and allow the middle section (the part that normally allows the iPad to rest against it) to rest on your lap. Much more stable and more comfortable!

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....

Awesome! hmm.. Keep in mind that the base of the stand that would be touching the flat surface is shaped like a "T". I imagine that you're considering using the stand in your lap with the top of the "T" sitting across your thighs and the stem of the "T" sorta under your bum. I just tried this with my crane stand and i find that although the base is fairly stable, the position of my laptop would either be too close or too high no matter how it's adjusted. I also tried flipping the bottom stem the opposite way so, from a profile view, the stand is shaped like a "Z"; in this case it's not very stable because the bottom stem of the "T" is extended out past the couch (might possibly work if you have a couch with a deep seat). Overall, I wouldn't recommend doing this. I can only see this stand as useful if you need your laptop higher than your tabletop or in my case, as a DJ where it elevates my laptop above my mixer case. Maybe you could try searching for a "lap desk" and see if that application might fit your situation better.

No. It has no convention for holding the laptop on the table except gravity. Unless you happen to be lying "down" in the space station. :)

You can but I will not advice it. The desktop has air vents at the top portion which provides cooling in the unit. If you place it on the side, you limit cooling the desktop because you will hinder air circulation.

The surface is like a honeycomb ... and my Lenovo sits on it just fine, even when I prop it up at a 45 degree angle. It also sits on my lap just fine, but I would not recommend doing that if you are wearing a skirt as the fabric will get in the way of the fan. Diddo for putting on a bed of other fabric covered area.
