Nope, not saying that at all - the only
general point I was making was that a fair number of other people seem to feel the same way about the iPad in bed. just since you've mirrored an opinion I've heard elsewhere at times when it wasn't really practical to ask in depth questions, trying to ask generally both you (and other folks here who might share it) why the iPad form factor is better for that for you.
To try to answer your question, if there still is one, I just don't find a laptop conducive to the bed environment when laying down on my back or on my side, but for some reason, I find the iPad useful anywhere and find it easy to navigate with the touch screen and single button. Again, not saying this is your opinion or that it applies to you. I am saying that it applies to me.
This entire topic is subjective, right?
Yes, it's absolutely subjective; "it just is easier for me" is a perfectly fine answer, but it could be interesting to compare usage patterns when/if people are comfortable discussing them at greater length.
For one example: do you use anything to prop it up, or are you holding it pretty much continuously?
