Hi MJ - How fortunate for me to get someone who is auditing work stations for this. This is not a true laptop -- It is a desktop replacement. The reason I've kept it on a tray instead of my lap is that it pulls down on my hip and gets that to aching. The laptop is higher than the edge of the tray,so that's no problem. With the legs up, however, it has required me to bend my wrists back.

For right now, I'm using the tray with the legs folded under. The alleviates the bent wrist problem. So far so good with the hip -- but I've only started this today.

The small keyboard doesn't bother me a bit. I've heard a lot of people complain about them, but I like the way that the keys are close together. I'm a touch typist, and my touch has accommodated to being fairly light on the keys. No hunching problems, either: I sit right back in my recliner, fully supported. And I use the little pad right on the laptop, no extra mouse.

I'll see if the adjustment of folding the legs down works over the long haul.

Thanks for that excellent advice, MJ and GG.
