- Laptop size fit
- Check that the surface width suits your laptop's screen size, with room for a mouse if you need one An oversized laptop overhangs the edge and the mouse has nowhere to go.
- Base type
- Cushion bases conform to your lap; leg stands lift it clear Leg types sit above your thighs and suit bed use.
- Heat
- Hard flat surface without blocked vents Soft surfaces block vents on the underside of the laptop.
- Edge stop
