    Can the M17x fit on a lap board? Of so can someone post a pic? I am just worried a 17" is too big for me to have on my lap with a mouse :/

    I have two lap boards. One is a small one that came from Sam's Club and it only has room for the laptop. The other one I bought online... I think I got it from Overstock.com. It has a slideout board for a mouse so of course there is plenty of room for a mouse on that one. The base of the laptop is approximately 15 inches by 11.5 inches. That is the part that sits on the lap board. Measure your lap board and any room it has beyond 15 inches left to right is area you will have available for mousing.
