    Your laptop is SO large that it is... really?
    Top screen size for a laptop is 17.3", which I have in the truck.

    How is it so awkward?

    In fact, it seems the perfect size to watch videos with.
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    I was thinkin about that. An at&t or Verizon hotspot I think they’re called jet packs or something? If it would actually power an a Xbox without the game lagging and such! At least I’d feel more at home lol

    You can get lag even at home on a WiFi connection.
    Smart people, at home, use a wired connection if they want the best performance.

    I’m aware. I do this at home, just wondering if anyone had tried it and it worked successfully.

    This is my laptop:

    Predator Helios 500

    My truck cannot keep it charged. It's large and awkward in the truck. I cannot set it up to play effectively on the bed. It's too heavy and it overheats without a solid surface. Lap desks don't work on the bed.

    TV dinner desks don't work because of me being in the way of my partner.

    The only option I can see, assuming I can find a way to keep that beast powered, is if I set it up to play on the passenger seat somehow.

    I have a Nintendo Switch for casual playing, and I have a large tablet for Netflix stuff.

    If I was not on a team truck it would be a lot easier to make something work.
