    Anyone ever heard of the "laptop laid back?" I just got one and use it to write in bed when I'm lazy. Just thought I'd share. :)

    That's a scary angle to have laptops at isn't it? :/ it doesn't look like it would stay on lol or is this mainly for netbooks...

    Anyone have experience with these and 15" notebooks?

    LOL points to the guy that is not posting as his laptop fell forward and off due to too much screen tilt.

    I would be worried about my notebook being scratched or poor build causing injury

    Cool. I can lay in bed all day playing games, eating Twinkies, and get fatter. Provided the stand adjusts for stomach girth, of course. ;)

    I've used a PowerBook, Thinkpad, and MacBook Pro on it, all with 15.4" screens. It has never tipped over.

    The only downside to the product is when you first initially "calibrate" it for the position you are in: it can be a pain in the ***. But other than that, its rock solid for me.

    The Lapdawg stand looks like it offers plenty of 'head' room clearance. :)

    I like the idea of being able to use my lappy in bed, but there's no room to use a mouse on that. It's also a little expensive for my tastes.

    I would rather set my laptop up on a large book and relax in my favorite armchair.

    I can't do that as my DTR has vents on the bottom that can't be covered up.
