What is the surface like? Will it keep my laptop from sliding?

Computer will not slide. It is smooth with a kind of like a rubber feel to the part where the computer rest.

The surface has a bit of a rubbery texture to it and it does hold my laptop in place. Sliding should not be an issue.

It depends on the surface you use it and what side of the defender is in contact with the laptop. You can get both effects which can be an advantage

the surface grip doesnt prevent sliding, as the majority of the surface is metal. there will be some sliding so be aware.

I have a triple fan that I set on my buddy and then put the laptop on the fan. I have not had any problems with slippage even without the fan. My laptop sits in the middle of the cup holder, light, and pen tray. This keeps it in place.

My laptop has rubber feet so it does not slide. You could use anti-slip dycem to avoid slipping:

It is not real slippery. It should be fine. There is no cover on this version.

yes , sliding in from the edge is uninhibited for me. The power button is slightly disguised but that is fine !

Unless you tip it or knock it backwards, it should be all right. Because of the lip in the front and the pads at the perimeter, it is pretty secure and the lap top does not move. I use a 15" Mac Book Pro on the stand and I have no problems.

For me, it doesn't slip if you put it properly. Surface must be flat and you should be okay.

My laptop has little rubber "knobs" on the bottom to prevent sliding. I'm sure sleeker/thinner laptops probably don't have that but my HP does which means that my laptop stays where I put it. If your laptop is completely flat and smooth on the bottom, it will likely slide, but you can always cover the desk with a towel or something else if it's an issue.

The clips are what hold the computer in place. They are very wide and I have never had an issue with them slipping or moving. I use a MAC Powerbook so I am not sure how it would perform if you had a very thick computer.

I just tested mine. It's well-padded on the sides. Not so much on the bottom. I don't know what brand of laptop you use, so I can't speak to that with complete accuracy. It will depend partly on the thickness. But I use a similar laptop, and never had a problem with mine.

It has a 1/8" lip on the front edge which isn't enough to keep a laptop from sliding off. I put a hook over the backside (the high side) of the table and suspended the laptop with a string around the laptop's hinge. Works great with no mods to the table. Laptop CAN'T slide off now.

I bought it for a friend. She said it does make it less slippery. She has in on a desktop in on RV and it stays put.

I'm very happy with mine. I have had no problems. It does have little "feet" on the back that raise the back of the computer a little, but I personally like that. This was a good buy!

It's semi ridgid, will protect your laptop no problem, very happy with mine, it's rubberized.

the top of the cooling pad is a metal grill (or metal mesh)... for lack of better words. if your laptop has rubber feet on it... it shouldn't slide anywhere... ours doesn't. even when the feet of the cooling pad are raised so as to incline the back of the laptop higher... i haven't notice any sliding.

In addition to the feet (which can be upright or closed) there are small silicone like grips on the other corners that help to keep the computer in place. I have not has any problem with sliding.
