Using Macbook Pro on lap - sliding/suggestions.

[uecker87]

Just a general question about suggestions for the new Macbook Pros and their slippery-ness. I have a 15" and frequently use it on my lap. This is quite a slippery device and I find it sliding all over the place if not completely level.

Does anyone have any suggestions for aftermarket laptop feet with some grip? My work machine has nice grippy feet that make it secure to use in all sorts of ways whereas my Mac feels extremely insecure (and much more expensive).

I was looking at something like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LT2OAS/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1F211EK7IN2OA

But I wanted to see if anyone has ever bought anything like that and if they had success and/or suggestions for a purchase that seems to go well with their Macbooks.

I bought one of these for using the MBP on my lap...

Aside from smelling a bit funky at first, it works quite well. I don't really have a slipping/sliding problem with the MBP the way I usually sit with it (legs up on a ottoman thing), but I sometimes have a blanket on, with the computer sitting on top of it, and I was concerned about blocking the air intake vents on the bottom. But it's definitely a non-slip material (both sides).
