Do Macs still keep sliding off or has surface been improved? I have lap desk that worked well with my Windows laptop, but my new MacBook Air keeps sliding off. I like this one a lot, but if light laptops still slide off as in 2011 review, then it sort...

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

Hi, I too have old MAC laptops. I bit the bullet and searched on Goggle for " used macs" It is not the best way but it worked for me. I has aquired 4 used macs and am surviving the on slot of the new tech, OS systems and etc. It is a bit of crap shoot but I have extended my use of "clasic" SW. but the time is near where I will have to go to the newer software. The new SW is making our old SW useless. Regards W. Kirhgofer

I use touch screen workstations everyday. I sell them. They are great if you're working with pictures, touch-based games, using painting and drawing software, etc. But at the end of the day, when it comes to serious work, you need a seriously comfortable keyboard and a responsive trackpad. Nothing beats the Macbook line. Most of my work is typing, so having a touch screen is useless. I prefer touch on a all-in-one desktop instead of a laptop. It's just unnatural to reach up to a laptop screen to touch every time. The macbook trackpad has multi-finger gestures that are just more intuitive than any touchscreen for moving windows around and controlling your system. I thought about purchasing a touch-screen enable windows laptop, but I'm not a huge windows fan (I see too many problems daily with windows), not to mention I simply would not have a use for the touch screen. I take the Macbook line's trackpad over any touchscreen.

I have not had an issue with laptop movement at all; I have a 17" mac. The lip on the edge of the chill mat does just what it's supposed to do -- keeps the laptop in place and prevents it from sliding off. Also, my laptop used to overheat like crazy and the chill mat has worked great so far. I've read earlier reviews about burnout of fan but I've had mine about 6 weeks and so far so good.

Yes. Mine stays on all the time. It never falls off. I also have a macbook air 13 inch and it fits perfectly! You should be fine :)

My Seville classics mobile laptop desk cart has a "bump out" or "lip" that prevents my laptop from sliding off when the table is titled. It's works great.

Although I use the iLap 13-inch Laptop Stand for my 2007 Macbook that is still running perfectly, I see no reason why it would not work for the MacBook Air 13". The size is perfectly matched to my own 13" and the angle that it puts my laptop is also perfect. The reason I purchased it initially was because my Macbook had overheated last year and I had to put in a new hard drive and a new battery... the laptop stand has made all the difference in the world, keeps my computer nice and cool and in tip top shape! I don't use it with the black lap pillow as often, but either way, it's a great purchase.

Yes. If you're talking about MacOS, that is. The drive has this problem though: the cable easily dislodges and dismounts the drive. Sometimes all you have to do is move your computer, and you get a dismount cuz the cable seems to be that sensitive.

I have a MacBook Air. I opened the laptop today to work on something and cannot get the screen to come back on. It's just staying dark, even though I can hear noise inside like something is running. It is connected to a power source also. Anybody know any tricks to get the screen to come back on?

It does, although the silicone keypad cover doesn't allow the MacBook Air to close properly...so that was annoying especially since that's what I really was looking forward to having..another thing, once you put the hard cover on the outside of the Mac book it's really hard to take off! I wanted to get under to clean it & couldn't get it off! Still haven't been able to I'm afraid I'll have to break the cover if I want to clean under it -__-

umm, i'm unsure because i don't have a MAC Air lol i have a macbook pro which is thicker. so idk it might be to big for your MAC. you might want to get something smaller. or this one in an air size. because its amazing and it feels so good to touch.

There is no ledge or recess on the surface. OTOH, my Toshiba has rubber "feet" on the bottom which stick amazingly well to the Lapdesk's surface. I can literally hold it at a 30 degree slant without the laptop moving at all. In case your Macbook doesn't have that feature, the Lapdesk comes with four stick-on pads to serve the same purpose. HTH

the underside is made of a thin, soft material so it won't scratch your desk. I have my mac partly on it so it is not moving. I just tried it without the computer on it and it moves a little bit after a while, nothing that would bother me.

I did just that a couple weeks ago. I'm still getting adjusted but I really like the Mac. I liked Vista a lot but I was sick of it locking up on me. I've had IBM, Lenovo, HP, Dell and Compac, desktops and notebooks. It's still too soon to tell but this really seems to be quality. No regrets so far.

The bottom of the lap desk has two cushions that run from left to right; the one toward the rear is a bit larger than the one in front, giving a bit of a tilt to the top surface. It's only adjustable to the extent that you can squish the beads around in the cushions. However I find it provides a comfortable angle when the desk is used on my lap. On a table, not so much. I also recommend that you get some non-skid drawer liner from a hardware store and stick it to the top so your laptop won't slide around. Since I have a wide computer (17' MacBook Pro), I removed the spring clip on the left as well. For the price, this is a very useful and comfortable product. I recommend it.

Hi, I too have old MAC laptops. I bit the bullet and searched on Goggle for " used macs" It is not the best way but it worked for me. I has aquired 4used macs and am surviving the on slot of the new tech, OS systems and etc. It is a bit of crap shoot but I have extended my use of "clasic" SW.but the time is near where I will have to go to the newer software. The new SWis making our old SW useless. Regards W. Kirhgofer

Hi Everyone,I am a Mac user. When the flip first came out, i went online to Mac blogs to find out if the flip was compatible. This was last year, so i cannot remember where on the internet. But all these techie gurus were stating that it wasn't very compatible. There were numerous bugs to iron out and not with the USB port.I was disappointed cause i liked the smallness, portability, etc. I don't know if the newer generations of Flip have changed, but judging by the comments, it doesn't seem like it has.Happy Holiday everyoneLJ
