A method for supporting a base of a laptop computer on a user's lap. The base may have a lower surface with two concave depressions that extend from a forward edge to a rear edge of the base. The depressions are spaced apart from one another and configured to receive a user's legs to support the weight of the laptop computer. In one embodiment, the depressions have roughness elements or a skid-resistant material. In another embodiment, support members extending outwardly from the base provide extra support for the base and/or further restrict motion of the base relative to the user's legs.

1. A method for restricting motion of a laptop computer relative to legs of a user, the laptop computer having a base, a display housing, a first support member attached to a first edge of the base, a second support member attached to a second edge of the base, each support member being movable relative to the base between a stowed position and an unstowed position, the method comprising:moving the first and second support members outwardly away from the base from the stowed positions to the unstowed positions; positioning the first support member against one of the legs of the user, the first support member having an engaging surface positioned against the one leg of the user and an upper surface opposite the engaging surface, the upper surface having an input device operatively coupled to the laptop computer; accessing the input device to transmit commands to the laptop computer; and positioning the second support member against another of the legs of the user.
