Can the height be easily adjusted with a 17" inch laptop in place? Is a "third" hand ever necessary or desired?

It is a little difficult to adjust with the laptop in place, but you can definitely do it with two hands.

I would suggest adjusting first, then placing laptop on it. Easy to do. Great little desk.

Each of the two supporting legs have to be adjusted individually, so removing the laptop (of any size) is the preferred method to change the height. It's not a difficult process to remove the laptop and make the needed height adjustments.

very easy to adjust position. i would adjust to desired position & then put lap top on. why risk dropping your laptop.

The overall height cannot be changed. The top is 19 1/2 inches deep front to back 29 wide. The movable pull out shelf is 24 4/4 wide and 13 1/2 inches deep. There are 2 additional sets of holes in which you could put both the top pull out shelf and the bottom shelf. You can adjust those two up or down, however, not the top one. It is fixed. The bottom I think is for a printer. I could easily fit a screen and computer on the top. I only have a 17 inch lap top however and use the pull out for my keyboard. Your own height is important. It can be used with or without the swivel feet to adjust the height a little. Some taller people merely use a 2 X 4 under each edge to raise it up. I hope this helps.

Very much so, it can support my 17 inch laptop no problem, rolls around the room with ease, and is easily adjustable without sacrificing sturdiness. You won't be disappointed

Yes, it works well for my 17". I also like the fact that I can have it higher in the back with the legs as it is easier for me to see.

When placed on a desk with the legs deployed in a 'Z' configuration it is quite solid unless one would lean heavily on it. I'm 5'4" and I could easily type on the laptop standing up by the desk. The stand could be raised quite a few inches higher for someone taller and still remain fairly solid. I've uploaded a photo showing my installation over my Logitech Momo sim racing wheel.

I doubt it, the lap top is diagonally 17" on the screen, it is probably at least 18" wide totally.

Yes you can adjust the both the height and the angle. The side of the table that has the retractable cup holder will sag where the cup holder is if there is a constant weight on the table top like a 15" laptop.

Hey George, you can place a 17 inch laptop and still have a couple of inches of place around.

Sure is....I have a 17 inch laptop and I love it! It's very sturdy....I'm glad I bought it!

My laptop is 17"and there's a bit of free space but more than that would be a very tight squeeze so I'd say probably not just to play it safe.

It's doable, but tight. I normally use my laptop's trackpad, but you can shift your laptop to the left side and put a small mouse pad on the right (assuming that you're right handed). The top is 21.5" wide at it's widest point, if you want to try it at home...

It would be a little awkward on the lap/legs but still doable. As the back section is raised by nearly 3", the laptop on your legs would finish up fairly level to the ground.

No. It looks awkward but it is stable enough. It is the exact same issue with the 17" version on their smaller table.

Yes, it does accommodate a 17" laptop. I liked it for that, except that the plastic turned out to be too flimsy and t broke on me. I had to buy a different one this time. It was too much money for an item that did not last me 12 months. I hope you had better luck than I did.

When purchased as shown, yes. I added the extra extenstion arm and that makes it too unstable to hold a lap top. I only use it for a keyboard so no problem.

if it is 17.3 inch yes, there is a little extra space. How big is your computer?

Have not tried to use it at maximum height. Would think there would be a lot of variables to consider, and don't trust very far with your valuable laptop aboard.
