Its light ebought to do this without pain unlike some other heavy laptops. Its also doesn't get very hot, so thats also a plus for me. Typing sucks though, and thats when I lean up to type, like what I am doing right now! :D I use it lying on my bed with the netbook on my chest.

Since I live overseas I do everything from regular work to TV watching in that position and that is with a 17" laptop.
