AboveTEK Portable Laptop Lap Desk w/ Retractable Left/Right Mouse Pad Tray, Non-Slip Heat Shield Tablet Notebook Computer Stand Table w/ Sturdy Stable Work Surface for Bed Sofa Couch or Travel

This pad/tray is the perfect size for my MacBook Air 13.6.It is “sticky” on the surface with the rubber sections nearly adhering the foot rubbers on the bottom of the laptop. It is also “sticky” on the bottom using rubber strips. I wish that it had larger rubber sections on the bottom, though.The only drawback is the weight. It is solid but kind of heavy. It should hold up very well.I am very happy with this item and it is well worth the price .

Usually I sit at my desk and complete work. After surgery, I haven't been able to sit at my desk. The AboveTEK Portable Laptop Lap Desk with Retractable Left and Right Mouse Pad Tray has changed my situation so that I can work from anywhere. Let me explain. I was hesitant initially because I thought, "My laptop has a flat bottom. How can having a flat platform keep the laptop on my lap?" I was wrong to question this product. It is well thought out and very well engineered.On top it has two separate non-slip sections that cover approximately 70 % of the surface. These are critical to a lap desk because they keep my laptop from sliding when I shift positions while it is on my lap.On the bottom there are two non skid strips along the longest edges. These keep the lap desk in place when it is place on a different surface. This is to keep the lap desk from sliding as it is constructed using a pretty hardy plastic.The surface has kept my laptop much cooler than being directly on my lap. I am using a 14 inch Apple MacBook Pro and it fits on the lap desk with a small bit of room in the front and a little more room on the sides to spare. That means that if you have a lap top larger than the one I am using, it will fit on this lap desk.The sliding mouse pad is my personal favorite feature. I am right handed. I always use my mouse when I am working and used to have the struggle of finding a surface to place my laptop then a surface for the mouse. The mouse pad is in the desk. You never have to worry about not having a place for your mouse again. It slides out to one side at a time so it is not a double mouse pad, meaning it cannot be extended to the left and the right at the same time. With it extended to one side, the opposite sides has a minor increase in flexibility of the plastic meaning I can pinch the top and bottom together and they flex inwards just a bit in the space where the retracted mouse pad would be which I feel is normal. I also think this design helps with keeping the lap top cool. Harder, more dense surfaces allow heat to be retained. The way this lap desk is engineered allows there to be air where the mouse pad would be so it can cool off faster.You also do not have to use the mouse pad if you do not want to. I want to add that while it is a mouse pad, it is sturdy enough to hold a small glass of water as well. It is not flimsy and does not bow under the weight of the small glass.The mouse pad surface is not rubbery. It is made of a hard, matte plastic meaning you can use your mouse without a mouse pad directly on this surface. My mouse glides effortlessly. The mouse pad is also large enough for me to move my mouse cursor across the entire face of the screen without having to lift the mouse and replace it. The mouse pad has an ever so slightly raised edge. It is not enough to keep the mouse on the mouse pad if you lean to far. The mouse will slip off.The lap desk is not a cheaply made product although I would consider handling it with care. I feel like with any hard plastic items, even items that cost hundreds of dollars, they will break if handled roughly or without consideration. With that, I believe this lap desk will serve my needs for years to come. It will help me in tight spots and I realize I don't have to be the one to sit at a table to work now. I have my AboveTEK lap desk.My rating: 9.5/10The only improvement I can think of is to make the matte mouse pad have grip so that the mouse doesn't slip off easily. How can I change that? Add my own mouse pad to the platform. This minor critique in no way changes my mind about how useful this lap desk is. I would purchase it over again and again. I would even gift this to a college student.

This was a gift and my sister uses it every time she pulls out her laptop which is every night.

Love it! I work remotely and sometimes I have meetings right after I drop my son off at school or errands to run and tend to work from my car a bit. This is great to keep the hot laptop off of my legs and my favorite part is the slide out for your mouse. I dislike using the touchpad and was using my console for the mouse which was not ideal, obviously. I like that the mouse extension also has a small lip at the bottom so the mouse doesn't slide off when you take your hand off. Good buy!

This portable lap desk has been the perfect fit for my 13” surface pro laptop and for use in the car, airport, couch & pretty much anywhere I need to use my laptop and mouse. It is well made but light weight, stays put on my lap. To date this is the most comfortable laptop lap desk to date. My mouse works perfectly on the mouse pad. It has retractable mouse pads on both the left and right sides which is great for my notebook to sit on the left side and my mouse on the right side.

I was really happy with this item.

Works perfectly with my MacBook Pro (15”). It is light, compact, effective, and cleverly designed.Best of all it is made in Taiwan (free China).

I should have read the description more carefully. This laptop holder is tiny. I will try to make it work but I should have spent the extra money for what I really needed. My fault.
