I'd imagine it is.  Sounds like to me, that your next buy should be some 
sort of a bed table that the lappy could be clipped to, leaving both hands 
free to type on a perpendicular keyboard? Possibly with a small hook of 
some sort, on a ball chain to hook over the top of the screen to keep it 
from falling shut?  I don't believe my old HP lappy would stay open when 
mounted to such a table.

Would that not be helpful?  Surly holding up the average lappy with one 
hand while doing the huntin pecker scene (there an old, very old joke in 
there someplace) can't be something you can do for hours on end.
