It’s ok for use in the lap. However it does have a few disadvantages here. Considering the small size, when plugged in and at full power the bottom of the system gets very warm. However on battery power the power management actually does a really good job of keeping the system cool to the touch, so that make the bottom nice a cool for lap use. The other disadvantage is the hinge that you mentioned. If the screen is open at 90 degrees compared to the chassis, then the bottom of the system is flat and sits nicely on the lap. If you open the screen further the hinge is designed to lift the back of the chassis off of whatever surface it is sitting on. If this is your lap it means that there will be two somewhat angled points of pressure on your legs and that can be a little uncomfortable after extended use. I generally use a small lap desk to mitigate both of those issues so that I can run the system at full power and avoid any pressure points. With a lap desk desk, this system is excellent on the lap for high performance gaming. I often use it on the couch for Netflix and gaming sessions!
