Can I use the open drawer as a temporary shelf for a laptop or tester?

For something light, briefly, yes.

I would not treat it as a general-purpose work shelf though. The drawer is shaped for storage, so a laptop or tester can be awkward to sit on it and heavy loads are better kept off an extended drawer.
