That's fine, but you don't have to wait that long if you don't want to. Once the airplane is off the ground you can bring out your laptop, lower your tray-table, and get to work.

The only reason why you have to stow it earlier on landing is because the F/As have to verify that everything is stowed before taking their seats for the landing. They do the pre-takeoff verification during taxi-out so no need to wait after takeoff.
