A laptop or DVD player fits fine in front of the throttle quadrant and plugs in behind the FO if you need to. Not that I've ever done that. I just heard that from others.
My meals are served on trays that fit on my lap just fine. It is hard to see the instruments/map when you have the seat back and reclined- the yoke is in the way. I have to sit up to see it or just look at the CA's side.
