Step 7Calibration and Usage
It is fairly easy to move the laptop up or down by unsticking the Velcro and adjusting. I adjusted mine so that my arms rest on the bed while typing. I have a cordless mouse resting on a flat notebook. If belly girth changes, you may have to re-drill the board mounting holes to move it up (or down).
It is a little harder to adjust the angle. You have to unscrew the two machine screws adjust the angle and reset the holes, possibly drilling new holes. When I found an angle I liked, I just left it.
Usage:
I store the laptop/stand on a TV stand so the laptop is flat and the base legs stick out underneath.
To use I open the lid (with a screwdriver), turn it on and put it on the bed. When laying down, I pick it up by the left side PVC and swing it over.
Personal thoughts about long term usage: I have 2” memory foam on top of my firm mattress which seems to give me good support. I just use a standard pillow under my head. Actually, I’m using a hull pillow. I have not had any problem with long term use. I do most of my surfing, writing and most of my programming on my laptop/stand. And, too much 'Spider Solitaire'.
Now being OLD, I do go to the bathroom a lot and my dog, Marcus likes to go outside sometimes so I do like the ease of being able to swing it off to the side.
