Due to some moderate reviews I was skeptical that this table would be a worthwhile purchase, but now I'm excited and use it every day on the balcony. The table is large enough that one the laptop next to a mouse, and place a note pad can - and, theoretically, a coffee cup, which I mostly but is too risky. The laptop table is thanks to the cushion comfortably on your lap, it can be lifted easily and park in between. My laptop is rock solid on the table - even if I hold him tilted at 45 degrees, it does not slip away. This gives more freedom of movement, so that you do not have all the time to sit still. However, I admit that this advantage is more likely at the bottom of my laptop, was in the attention to skid resistance - therefore quite possible that another device, as described by one reviewer, gets on the table to slide. When I'm not traveling, the laptop 24/7 remains lying on this table, as I him anyway no longer without use. So for me, a very worthwhile purchase, which was worth every Euro!
