True, but only because the tables are a little bit too high. *It's still

You seem to be assuming people have a seat. And that the tables exist at
all (or are more than bump on the wall that can't even take two coffee
cups).

This is why I have two laptops - a brick, which is basically for
transportable purposes (but runs FAST), and a netbook, which weighs
next to nothing and can quite merrily go on my lap when there are no
tables. And only cost GBP200.

Using it standing up might be a challenge. But IMX any journey that's
long enough for a laptop to be worth bothering with is also one where
you're likely to end up with a seat - either because you're coming in
from Far Away, or because you're coming in High Barnet / Stanmore on
an inner-suburban line.
