Using it on a desk in quite comfortable, since it has an ergonomic design. It puts your laptop in an angle that helps typing without tiring your wrists. This design also helps heat dissipation, since it creates a tunnel below your laptop for the fans to blow hot air, as you can see in Figure 6.

You can also use it on your lap, even though you may feel a little bit strange of having a ”small table“ on your laps. But after the benefits of having a laptop that doesn’t heat your lap anymore will compensate for this initial sensation.
