Does the laptop slip off if you have it at a high angle?

it has two tabs at bottom that you can flip out to hold in place remember the pad is only 12 inches wide if your laptop is 14 inches wide it will not work

No, it is very secure. The cooler has several points that have silicon grippers that keep the laptop from sliding off.

Yeah it is. Plus where you place the laptop is rubbery so your laptop wont fall off.

Hinge up would cause the laptop to lean instead of standing vertical due to placing the thinner edge in the arc. Also, all of your ports would then be towards the top. The arc holds the the laptop off of the desktop so air flow is not restricted.

No it does not tilt..it stays horizontal but you could always place something under the laptop for the desired angle. With the adjustable height you could get any angle with a beanbag underneath the laptop!

Yes it does. But I never had to deal with sliding issues since the rubber on top keeps my laptop in place.

No, the top surface is smooth.... but my laptop has four rubber feet and doesn't slip off at all.

I used it with a 17" laptop until the laptop quit. It will stick out over the edges but should not slip. We have two of these and love them.

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

Nope, it's secure. It's more of an overlap than flap, and you have to pull it back to get the laptop in and out

No it works any direction. But it's not very sturdy. It does help to rest your laptop on but you will need to support it with your legs. Also, the laptop easily slides off. I give it a 5 out of 10

My laptop has rubber feet so it does not slide. You could use anti-slip dycem to avoid slipping: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_0_5?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=dycem&sprefix;=dycem

It will attach yes and can be twisted to latch on. But it's some heavy hardware & unit. That combined with the weight of the laptop maybe more than the weight of the portable table and could tip over. Check the weight specs.

For me it's perfect on flat surfaces...However when I try to do it on my lap, it will slip sometimes (of course I'm moving around tho and sometimes at an angle, so I won't hold that against the case).

If it's on your lap and it's at an angle, yes it will. If you have it set on a table or anything flat, it stays upright.

Very true. My laptop has a rounded front. The low height of the pegs and the weight of the laptop combined leaves the laptop in a very vunerable position. It's slid off a couple of times.

I don't think so. There was another model that we were considering that tilted, but that one had a ledge or something to keep your laptop from sliding off when it's in a tilted position.

There is no ledge or recess on the surface. OTOH, my Toshiba has rubber "feet" on the bottom which stick amazingly well to the Lapdesk's surface. I can literally hold it at a 30 degree slant without the laptop moving at all. In case your Macbook doesn't have that feature, the Lapdesk comes with four stick-on pads to serve the same purpose. HTH
