&gt; However, with the Surface Pro 4 (and all previous iterations), it seems impossible to actually use on your lap. Granted, I haven&#x27;t had an opportunity to try it, but the kickstand and attachable keyboard seem like they only work on an actual desk.<p>I own an SP3. It&#x27;s definitely possible to use it in your lap, but I don&#x27;t know if I&#x27;d call it comfortable. It&#x27;s really finicky: you have to set it up <i>just</i> right for it to be lappable. You have to get the kickstand in the right position (SP3&#x2F;SP4 have a <i>huge</i> advantage over the SP1&#x2F;SP2 here), you have to put it on the right part of your lap, you have to put the keyboard in angled mode (which, on your lap, makes it much easier to type but harder to hit the touchpad, so you&#x27;ll end up relying on the screen for pointing), etc.
