There is no stopper in the front, and it appears to be made of a slippery material. When you use it on your lap, does your laptop slide off?

If I'm sitting on a chair yes, so I usually will sit criss-cross and then it works fine, its just not ergonomically correct. It does keep the computer remarkably cool so I think it is still worth it.

The surface is like a honeycomb ... and my Lenovo sits on it just fine, even when I prop it up at a 45 degree angle. It also sits on my lap just fine, but I would not recommend doing that if you are wearing a skirt as the fabric will get in the way of the fan. Diddo for putting on a bed of other fabric covered area.

You are exactly right and that is a drawback, the only one I can think of. My laptop has little "feet" that help to hold it in place but it still slides off from time to time. I've been looking for a small piece of silicone or rubber to prevent that issue but for me it hasn't been a deal breaker; it was for my daughter though. Good luck!

I do not have a problem with my laptop sliding. it has like a mesh/ rough top. my laptop has grips on the bottom.

I have it on top of a non working fan, but it has contined working long after any other fans that I have purchased over the years

the top of the cooling pad is a metal grill (or metal mesh)... for lack of better words. if your laptop has rubber feet on it... it shouldn't slide anywhere... ours doesn't. even when the feet of the cooling pad are raised so as to incline the back of the laptop higher... i haven't notice any sliding.

I have to say, NO. The surface is very smooth and slippery.I have mine sitting on a table and my 17 Inch HP laptop slides a little until I get it positioned just right.

I have no trouble w/using it on my lap. I don't bother w/other hard surfaces when I use my laptop and the cooling board. I wonder if others know that using it on your lap is oriented one way, while using it on hard surface, it should be oriented the other. This prevents the prop from getting in your way or digging into treasured body parts. I think it's very high quality and well designed.

My laptop has little rubber "knobs" on the bottom to prevent sliding. I'm sure sleeker/thinner laptops probably don't have that but my HP does which means that my laptop stays where I put it. If your laptop is completely flat and smooth on the bottom, it will likely slide, but you can always cover the desk with a towel or something else if it's an issue.

It holds it in place somewhat, it will kinda slide down till it reaches the lip on the edge. Inspite of this slight inconvenience, have still been happy with it. I have an 17" laptop on it that I think because it is kinda heavy would move on anything it is placed on.

I don't think so. I was a teacher, and I think it's to small for that. The top of the papers would extend past the top of the surface. Also, when you put your hand--left or right--on the surface, the non-slip bar at that keeps the laptop from sliding off the slated surface would be in the way.

It just "sits" on your laptop, with a counter-balance weight on the back. It does not clamp (securely or non-securely).

It does not move easily. I do have a laptop sitting on it. Protects the desk well.

My solution was to stick Velcro on the bottom of my laptop and on the desk. I used the soft side on my laptop, which hasn't affected me carrying it or placing it on other surfaces. It only took two little pieces and the problem was solved.

There is no laptop slip. It does have a pouch for pencils. I have to put an organizer (pouch) inside to keep things in order.

Yes, I always have mine in my lap. It's perfectly comfortable even though it doesn't have any padding. The legs (read: height adjustment) don't work in your lap. My laptop slides around a lot on the pad when it's in my lap, but that may be an issue with the lack of grippy-feet on my laptop.

Yes, I use it on my lap all the time. It seems very secure to me, and I have it in some pretty weird positions sometimes depending on what kind of chair I'm in and what other things I have piled around me as I work. It never topples or even feels like it might topple.

No. It is slightly undersized and will fall out / be disconnected from the laptop.

Yes I stopped using it because I kept sliding off the thing. I don't think my laptop get hot enough to need it.

Just one big space inside. The top is wide opened and the inside is very slippery. My laptop fell down on the same day because of that and the magnet feature that holds the belt also fell down and I did not find it anymore.

I do not experience such thing, but then I rarely open the hard case off my laptop, so it would not allow any debris to come in between. I have used it for a year, and it is still going strong.
