I offer the dissenting opinion, applicable in certain situations.


If you have a cat, it s a bad idea. Cats like to sleep on warm keyboards and, worse, often see the computer is a depository for biological samples. We have a kitty---my MBP stays closed when not in use.


Also, any liquid spill can ring the death knell for a MacBook Pro. The display lid has a gasket that can help keep liquid off the keyboard area, but only if the lid is closed.
