I disagree with the 2nd part - I use the surface on my lap all the time - rather 90% of my usage is in bed or on the couch/recliner, each time with the kickstand out and using the type keyboard. I don't see why it didn't work for you, the only problem I can even think of is that sometimes i'm laying down and because i'm looking under my glasses I have trouble reading the screen.
- rayiner 14y agoDo you sit with your legs together so you can support the device with two points of contact, or do you manage to balance the whole thing on one thigh? The problem with the kickstand/keyboard setup is that the keyboard isn't rigidly attached to the screen. You can use force on the palm rests of a laptop to support it in a wide variety of positions that seems really awkward with the Surface.

- rayiner 14y agoWhenever I use my laptop not on a desk, I balance it on one knee (I don't like sitting with my legs pressed together), which seems hard to do with the Surface. I also balance it on a couch armrest or a pillow in bed. The rigid base let's me use my hands on the keyboard to steady the device even when it's balancing with only one point of contact at the bottom.
