Yes at home. My laptop has become my main PC. I access my desktop via Logmein.
When at the office it is not appropriate nor functional to use it in my lap. I have a monitor, printer (all-in-one) and keyboard, mouse setup that I use with the dock. (Plus a networked printer, and color laser)
When I am not in my office in the church, I use it in many different ways. (Powerpoint presentations, video etc, in different areas.)
At home it is on the coffee table or my lap. (wireless color inkjet, all-in-one, networked laser printer etc.)
I find the keyboards to be a tad small, and prefer to use a mouse not a touchpad
Laptops have become replacements for desktops. So, many of us use them in a variety of setups.
Oh I also have a monitor cable to my flatscreen TV at home if I really need a large screen. My son-in-law has done this with their setup also.

Thanks, Do you ever kick back and use your laptop while sitting on sofa, recliner, etc. - not at a desk? Use it, as the name suggests, in your lap? Randall On Sat, Jan 24, 2009 at 8:58 PM, Rev.
