I use the SP3 on my lap every day, its my work PC. Actually the kickstand works as an anchor when I cross my legs and stays fixed. Suggest you try it in person.

It's not a functional laptop. Putting a Surface on your lap is the worst experience you'll ever have. But as a portable Windows 10 device, my Surface Pro 1 is one of my favorite devices.

If true, that would be a wonderful life.

I don't know what kind of laps other people have, but I'm decidedly average in every way, physically, and I use my SP3 on my lap every day.

Usually it's on a table or desk, but it's fine on my lap too.

It is completely lapable, but typing on keyboard without anything underneath is a bit weird. I hope they upgrade the SurfaceBook next.

The Surface Pro 3 and on are completely different to use on your lap than the first and second gens.

there's a separate keyboard you can buy that makes it "lapable" https://www.brydgekeyboards.com/products/brydge-12-3

I don't get why they don't use the regular surface pro keyboard connector and offer extra ports and battery life, especially based on how much space is being used. It literally doubles the thickness while only offering a keyboard. If they did that it would justify the cost and thickness, as it is this just not worth it.
