Does it have a lip to keep book/computer from sliding into your lap?

No Lip so to speak at the base of the board. Base meaning closest to your waist if in the seated, reclined position. There is a pen indentation at the base, w/ a cup holder & a flexible led light. I bought this as a gift for my wife. She loves this for when shes working in bed (laptop, iPad), reading her books & magazines, & writing! No slides when seated or lying down! I just asked her, if she would recommend this, she said "Absolutely". Enjoy!

It closes fairly securely. I don't know if the laptop would come out if dropped, I try never to drop mine!

There is a metal lip that full supports my Dell 17inch llaptop. Never has been an issue - turns my laptop into a desktop with a wireless mouse and keyboard.

Mine has a laptop, books, hard drive , and pens, hard drives, and so on in it. It has never tipped over yet.

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!

No, it does not, on our laptop those rubber feet (so to speak) are glued to the laptop itself.

It does not slide around while using the laptop but when moving the lapdesk the computer does slide and could fall. When in use it is pretty stable. There is also no room for a mouse to move around if not using a finger mouse on a laptop.

Yes, there is a velcro flap that keeps the computer secure in place in the padded compartment.

Unfortunately no, it needs to have a stable surface to provide usefulness. Otherwise the laptop will tip.

No. That is a strap to hold the laptop down. I have a 15" also and it takes up that whole space pretty much. I was able to put my mouse next to it. I don't know how much storage you need, but there is a big pocket on the top "flap"and there's pockets on the outside to put cords, mouse, etc. It's very sturdy and I feel safe with it, if that helps at all. :)

In addition to the feet (which can be upright or closed) there are small silicone like grips on the other corners that help to keep the computer in place. I have not has any problem with sliding.

There is no cushion on the inside of the lip. So far though I have not had my laptop scratched by the lip.

it has a lining inside, but i don't find it to be very soft for the laptop. But i don't think it will scratch the laptop

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.

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.

Mine keeps the laptop in place and there is no give to it as you type. It's quite stable.

It has a 1/8" lip on the front edge which isn't enough to keep a laptop from sliding off. I put a hook over the backside (the high side) of the table and suspended the laptop with a string around the laptop's hinge. Works great with no mods to the table. Laptop CAN'T slide off now.
