[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1817022, member: 396914"] I don't use anything, but then I don't use the MBP without a firm, flat surface on which it sits. Note that Apple does not refer to them as "laptops," but as "notebooks." Given that the heat is vented/diffused/conducted out of the bottom case, so putting the laptop on your lap is NOT a good idea. There have been reports of people seriously overheating from trying to use a notebook on their lap. Basically, if you do want to use it on your lap, a good flat, firm surface is best. There are purpose-made lap desks, or you can hand make one from thin plywood cut to a comfortable size. In an emergency, a tray, usually turned over so the sides face down, can work. Just as long as it is somewhat heat resistant, flat and firm. [/QUOTE]
