i know this can be used with a netbook, but can you use a 17.5 laptop on it? Or is that size to big/heavy for this desk

It is not very sturdy. I wouldn't put anything of significant value on that table. It's not that it will break, it just jiggles a lot! Probably couldn't balance a glass of milk on there either!

Found this table uncomfortable and the stability of it is awful. Should have sent it back!

I think Optical Drive (DVD Writer) made that laptop that heavy. Business purpose USB 3.0/2.0 port was enough. I think of returning since it is too heavy for me to carry everyday and travel. But if you do not travel, this is an excellent laptop. keep this one. This is excellent one. If you planning to travel with this one, may not for you.

I think it would totally handle that weight. I have an extremely heavy laptop, external monitor, keyboard and mouse on mine and it's great. (all told probably around 21 lbs.) It's very sturdy. I really love this desk. It has saved my back and I feel so much more productive through the day.

I would suggest adjusting first, then placing laptop on it. Easy to do. Great little desk.

Sure is....I have a 17 inch laptop and I love it! It's very sturdy....I'm glad I bought it!

I think it can handle the weight as it's very sturdy but remember the top is only about 19.5" deep and 35" wide so space will be the issue. I have a 17" notebook and it takes up 1/2 the top space. Little room left for keyboard when a cpu is also on it. The height adjustment for a notebook was the reason I got it which works well for me. I used to have a desktop and this wouldn't be large enough for that in my opinion. The table is great for me but I might suggest looking at all the available options you have that would be a little larger.

I think this table will hold a 17" laptop well. I have all kinds of stuff on mine and use it everyday. It can also be moved into different positions in order to get more comfortable. It is also very sturdy with a good, strong base. I think you will like it and use it for many purposes including using your laptop.

YES - We have 17 - 19" laptop and it works just fine! This is an awesome lapdesk, w/ comfortable bean/bag type rolls underneath.

My fiancè uses it with her 17 inch laptop all the time & width isn't a issue for her. The only thing that is a potential issue that the lip that holds the laptop on the tray when it's angled up could stand be about 1-2 inches taller or made with more slip resistant material because if the front of your laptop has an angled groove (dells), you'll see some slippage going on at higher angles.

Is the desk about an inch thick? Based on how I've seen this product attach, I would say there is a very good chance that you will be able to use this. I would be cautious on the weight of the monitors. Meaning: Let's not push it to the max. I've seen very similar mounts work fairly "cheap" desks.

I have a 15.3" laptop and it fits perfectly on the lap desk with little extra room...I could slide it over a little, but I use a Logitech Anywhere MX mouse that works great on any surface.

I use my 17in laptop with a mouse on it. The tabs in front that hold the laptop in place could be a bit taller, but that has nothing to do with the width.

Yes. I own one, and I have been using it with a much larger 15" laptop that (weighs over 5 pounds) for months without issue.

This desk is awesome. It will definitely work for a laptop. It would be in your best interest. Very easy to put together and doesn't take much room

While it's not INTENDED for computers, since it obviously has no padding, if you're VERY careful you can absolutely carry 15" laptops in it. My daughter sometimes commutes to college on the train with her very heavy 17+" laptop...so far so good (2.75 yrs)!

The shelf part is 17" long. It is too tall and the base is not set up for one's lap. There are some nice laptop desks available with a plastic top, or even a wooden reading lap desks may suit your needs more closely.

No. I love this desk but it's made for a laptop nothing else.17inch between the desk part n shelf above it. Actual desk part is 28inches wide x 17inches deep.
