Lap usability is definitely a personal issue then, because it works fine for me: http://imgur.com/a/DvJBy

Ha, this is how I use mine. If I need to tilt the screen further, I push the kickstand over my crossed leg. It actually helps provide better support. I would rather use my SP3 over my thinkpad when sitting on the couch, it is more comfortable.

Can you type with the keyboard in this position?

It's reasonably comfortable. I'd probably put my leg down if I was going to be doing extended typing - I tend to pull it a little closer when I'm mostly consuming (shorter reach for the screen). I do regularly use it in bed and on couches though.

I am 6'1", for what it's worth. I supposed it's possible that this is more comfortable with longer femurs.
