Welp i tossed it in the new bag last night and took it for its first recovery mission. 90% of my time using it was in the front seat of a toyota tacoma while we were driving around and even in the cramped area it was great. The weight isnt bad at all. After about 2 hours it got my lap pretty hot, but it was tolerable even in the summer heat so no biggy. It actually works out nice because theres a hotkey to disable the keyboard (until u hotkey it again) and it makes a VERY nice table to write in the files on.
A++, i couldnt be more thrilled
