Can you use this on your lap sitting on a couch, with the keyboard open and type?? Does it feel top heavy like it will tip over easy??

not at all. It's very well balanced and very stable. I use it that way pretty often.

I use the keyboard on my lap, I have not had any problems. There is a little "grove" for the feet to fit into. If the angle was to great, maybe the feet would slip out.

I use an external keyboard so my laptop never moves unless I touch it.Typing off of a laptop resting on a stand would kinda defeat the purpose (ergonomic relief), imo.

Ehh...thats questionable. I use mines with a 15" MacBookPro about 7lbs I think. I have mines mounted by clamp and I would say its not. The weight of my hand resting on it adds substantial stress to the clamp, the arm extension and tray pivoting joint. I can type directly onto the keyboard w/o putting the weight of my hands on it, but resting the full weight of my hands on it ....I personally wouldn't recommend it- at least not with a clamp mount. Also- note that the plastic support tray is attached to the metal arm extension by a sturdy plastic piece...sturdy, but still plastic.

No, it's not meant for a regular laptop. The stop at the front is not meant for something as heavy as that - it just slips down. If you try to use it opened up, the laptop sits and the wrong angle, making the keyboard up too high for comfortable typing on your lap. There are other great laptop desks out there. I use the Travelrite Portable Laptop Station by Workrite Ergonomics, and I love it.

The keyboard is sturdy enough to work on your lap but depending on the angle that you place it, you may find it difficult to use. Also, it was designed to sit on a surface to give the best ergonomic position for your hands so you might want to consider that as well.

The 'desk' area is a soft surface. It is at such an angle, that I have some difficulty keeping my pc on it. Wish the lip was a little higher. As I like using a mouse rather than the keyboard, I just 'read' on it.

No it is not that heavy, but I don't use mine as I am in a wheelchair and the thing really isn't big enough. It won't stay on my lap.

No, it does not seem top heavy at all - I've never seen it actually tip over during use.

I really can't use it for my laptop . It is too high and there is no height adjustment. I am very tall and it still is too high for me to use. If you can sit somewhere that it goes into the sides of the chair or couch cushion you are sitting on it will be lower and more stable. I don't have a chair like that The top does tilt but it still is not easy to use. The legs do not tighten and are very wobbly. I would advise not to buy it

It is very sturdy. I have even moved the table it was on while DJing with little to no sway. As for comfort it depends on the table you are setting it on. The angle it holds it at would put the keyboard of most laptops at an angle similar to a normal desktop keyboard propped up on it's back risers. I think it's fine.

No issues. It is smooth enough so that your mouse will glide on it, but if your keyboard has any grips whatsoever on the bottom, it will not move. I have the most basic Lenovo keyboard with 1cm rubber pads at each corner, and have had no issues at all.

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.

When purchased as shown, yes. I added the extra extenstion arm and that makes it too unstable to hold a lap top. I only use it for a keyboard so no problem.

It is top heavy but i have tried putting it on my lap it so far haven't tilt yet. But if a guy were using it on the lap you will face difficulty because we are big size unlike woman.

The Keyboard is confortable to use on your lap but the Tablet have to ne somewhere else if you don't want it to fall. But if you have already use a netbook (the little pc that are lile 9 or 10 inches) you'll have no problem to type with it.

Well, that depends :) Basically, no, it's very light, but let me explain. Normally, if I'm using this lap desk to write with a paper notebook or journal book, or if I'm using my wife's ultra-slender HP laptop, no, it's not at all heavy feeling. It's very comfortable for long periods of time. As a writer, it's not uncommon for me to use this desk 3 to 4 hours at a stretch while sitting on the couch on a weekend. For me, it's not heavy at all. And the beanbag on the bottom also does a nice job of distributing what weight there is. Keep in mind too, it would depend somewhat on what you have inside the desk. If you fill it with a dense glossy paged textbook, I'm sure it'll feel heavier than if you just have a few pens and pencils and a composition book in it. My "normal" set up on this desk feels very light. BUT ... ... if I'm using my PC from work, which is a "Main Battle Tank" class "lap-crusher-and-roaster" Dell-from-Heck laptop, then yes, after a couple of hours, it starts to feel very heavy. But that's not the desk's fault, as that sensation of weight was there when I just used this Dell all by itself with no lap desk ... it's just an over-heavy computer. The desk itself doesn't feel heavy and even when I must use my too-heavy laptop on it, I'd rather feel the soft, cool beanbag against my lap than the over-hot, metal framed edges of the computer itself. I have had this lap desk for several months now, and I totally love it. No complaints at all. My only advice would be to be careful about using metal spiral bound notebooks or any laptop without rubber feet without putting a towel or pad on it first, just to protect the finish. My laptop has rubber feet, but when I have to use spiral notebooks, I have used a towel or pad from the start and the finish is doing nicely. I hope that helps.
