Honestly this is the number one reason i quit using my SP. I know a lot of people here love them, but it was just too obnoxious to use on my legs, soft surfaces, and lots of other places.

I will agree it was awesome on plane tray tables, but that was about the only "oh cool! obvious advantage!" location.

i found myself wanting a normal laptop that could hold itself up repeatedly, and kept switching back to my macbook pro
