will my lap top be secure from sliding off the table?

the edge on the rim of the table is not large enough to support a laptop. It will only keep small items from falling off the edge.

if your laptop has a squared off corner in the front on the bottom, then it may be fine. If it is rounded (like an I pad or a note book) then it may be an issue. I added a kleat (a straight piece of quarter round wood) to mine just because I am handy that way. But I would suggest that you just purchase a piece of rubberized drawer liner that can be found at Wal-Mart, Shopko, Target, Jo-Ann fabrics, Or Michaels arts/crafts, Hobby Lobby and/or Ace Hardware. That should then accommodate any portable device on your new table,...and you don't have to be a carpenter like me. Hope this helps. P.S. this was the only table we found that is easy to put together and to operate. Especially if you only have use of one hand like my Dad does.

Hi! I used the table with my laptop (MacBook Pro 13") and it works perfectly fine in both ways, flat and inclined. It just have a restriction: you can't place the table in its maximun level of inclination with the laptop.I was in bed rest, and this table really helps me.Regards!

Sorry to say it will have a tendency to slide when it is in the tilt position - the edge is just not tall enough to hold back a computer, especially if the computer has a rounded front edge like my Dell. Even to make matters worse , I found a mesh tilt stand that would allow to leave the table flat and raise the stand, however, the stand also doesn't have high enough lip on it and the computer still slides off at times. Am looking at a way to make a higher edge that comes up above the front edge.

There are little edges that prevent the laptop from sliding off. No clips are required. The design is very minimal and functional. We were having a problem with laptops overheating in the office. This was a great solution for my team. They all use 15" MacBook Pros. I hope this helps you.**I should mention that I did not put them together. There may have been clips, but I don't think so.

The only problem I might see is that it is not an absolutely flat surface. There are tiny little minute bumps that help create friction so that laptops wont slide. Other than that, I don't see why not.

Depending on the position, the tabs that avoid from sliding off may not work but that is mostly based on the size and weight of the computer, if you have a light one so it is no problem, everything else is great.The fans are silent and great for cooling.

Nope I have my laptop on my lap most of the time. It dangles from the side of my usb port. Have not had a problem with it falling out, It is very secure and I am really glad I bought one

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. :)

It's never slipped off from my laptop, unless i intentinally shift it on my keyboard. Also cause i've pretty much use my laptop in my desk But of course, if you flip your laptop upside down for whatever reason, duh its gonna fall off

My table is marble finish and I have no issues with mine sliding. I believe it's heavy enough that you would have no problem, but can't say for sure.

It is most definitely secure. It doesn't slide at all. Watch the YouTube video on how to install it securely before you buy, but it's not hard at all. The only limitation is if you've got a table with curved edges, but like I said, watch the video. But no way could another kid pull it off. :) Its an awesome purchase. Highly recommend it.

It closes fairly securely. I don't know if the laptop would come out if dropped, I try never to drop mine!

I bought it for a friend. She said it does make it less slippery. She has in on a desktop in on RV and it stays put.

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.

That is a valid concern. It is not particularly stable. I would not leave my laptop unattended on it, particularly if cats are a worry. I also do not like this table in general. I never use it. I bought a simpler bamboo table with a built in fan at the Mac Store. Works much better. This table was a good idea in theory, but in practice, it doesn't work at all well.

It is a sturdy little table, but if you bump it it may tip over. I wouldn't not put my iMac on it.

The top is not that slippery but the bottom side wants to slip a little on my table. I have an old table that has been refinished and the surface is rather slick.

It sure will. My friend uses it with his 17" lap top. You will have an inch or so on each side hanging off but it is not unstable at all. I've had mine now going on almost 6 years and it is still good to go. Buy it!!

It does not slide around while using the laptop but when moving the lapdesk the computer does slide and could fall. When in use it is pretty stable. There is also no room for a mouse to move around if not using a finger mouse on a laptop.
