Do people actually put laptops in their laps?

My 12" ultra-portable sits on my desk at home/office. When commuting if I'm using it, it will sit on my backpack on my lap.

My 17" laptop that is heavier than my desktop, stays on the kitchen table.

Yes, people do. I use my laptop on the couch all the time.
You should use a cushion or wood tablet in that case, e.g. Ikea has them for a couple bucks.
Mine is currently right on top of my bits & pieces, so yes?
You never take your laptop to the couch?
Sure, but if I'm on the couch, I use a throw pillow.
