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.

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.

We have a cooling pad because of the heat so that it doesn't burn our thighs off.

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.

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.

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).

@Alivoo01: what's the cooling pad you use? And, I like that, so it doesn't burn your thighs off.

@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!

I use a pillow from our couch, because my laptop gets really hot! I've been avoiding it more since being pregnant.

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.

No, way too hot for me! I have a lap desk. It lets me AND the laptop breath!

I do all day long! I get made fun of at work for hardly using my desk.
