I get made fun of at work for hardly using my desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-183263 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:14:21 +0000 Minnie_Girl 183263@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, way too hot for me! I have a lap desk. It lets me AND the laptop breath! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-183246 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 12:04:51 +0000 Mrs. Pen 183246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a plastic cooling/fan pad. I don't always plug it in, but it provides some extra height and keeps it from getting too hot on my legs. I nearly always have it on my lap. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-183224 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:54:54 +0000 HabesBabe 183224@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use a pillow from our couch, because my laptop gets really hot! I've been avoiding it more since being pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-183166 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 11:25:52 +0000 Alivoo01 183166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mediagirl: I don't recall the exact one I have, but it was from Fry's and it was free after mail-in rebate. I didn't care to get a fancy one as it is hidden underneath my laptop. Plus, I love that it was free! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182816 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 05:33:35 +0000 mediagirl 182816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: what's the cooling pad you use? And, I like that, so it doesn't burn your thighs off. :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182803 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 03:22:38 +0000 SugarplumsMom 182803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I stopped placing it on my lap once I'd gotten pregnant. I used to always have it in bed but now it's on a desk in my little computer nook next to our desktop (DH usually uses that one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182798 Fri, 08 Jun 2012 02:28:39 +0000 looch 182798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a little lap desk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182565 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:23:53 +0000 skibobrown 182565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes... but I don't let DH put it on his lap b/c it's bad for his man parts. He has a special laptop holder thing that keeps air circulating underneath it, so it doesn't get hot. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182556 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:19:08 +0000 boiledpnut 182556@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You should always have your laptop on a hard surface for circulation (DH is a computer guy). Also, if you lay it on the floor or something cushy when you are done, you should flip it over. So, no, my laptop is never directly on my lap. I have a little laptop holder thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182553 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:18:03 +0000 Alivoo01 182553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have a cooling pad because of the heat so that it doesn't burn our thighs off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182512 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 20:02:17 +0000 Foodnerd81 182512@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My apartment is always cold, so as I was reading your question, I was warming my hand under the laptop. So, yes, I sit with it in my lap. Not good for my posture though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182447 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:32:27 +0000 prettylizy 182447@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used the pillow trick for my laptop, right now I'm on my ipad w/ it's keyboard and I need a pillow to hold it at the right angle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182444 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:31:43 +0000 littlebug 182444@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's on there now! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182439 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:30:11 +0000 heffalump 182439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine's on a tv tray. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182415 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:22:44 +0000 Andrea 182415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually use a pillow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sit-your-laptop-directly-on-your-lap#post-182412 Thu, 07 Jun 2012 19:21:54 +0000 mrs. bird 182412@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put a pillow on my lap usually.
