 Great Product November 8, 2007
Donovan Ritttenbach (Oakland CA)
I love recommending quality products. This one is simple and elegant, with everything you need in a notebook stand. It is a great addition to an ergonomic environment, which is why I bought two.
A Great Office Accessory June 4, 2008
Mark Pilipczuk (Centreville, VA USA)
This product has the highest utility of any office supply I've ever purchased. That's high praise, but it's well-deserved. The stand is extremely sturdy, yet swivels quite easily. When used with a second monitor, as I do, it makes it easy to look at two screens, yet swivel one when you need to give a visitor a better look at the screen.
The extra space under the computer is also very useful, as I have a couple of USB hubs and a backup drive stashed under there, which cleans up my desktop nicely.
Finally, the clean silver design fits in well with all my Apple gear and gives my office a clean and unified look.

We've purchased 3 of these for MacBook Pros at work and they all work great. I haven't seen a better stand on the market.
 Poor Design and Poor Workmanship ... Beware ... April 20, 2008

I bought this stand for my macbook pro because it was advertised to work well with one, and that's what's pictured in their marketing material. I'm dismayed that it didn't work out ...
This notebook stand shipped well and appeared slick and sturdy out of the box. It's plenty heavy and it does give you a sense of security that it will never buckle nor budge under the weight of a seventeen inch macbook pro. In fact, out of the box it looked and felt quite impressive.
However upon use, there are a number of problems with this stand. Bad problems.
For one, this stand will scratch your $2500+ macbook (mine was about $3500) ...
It's hard to explain so bear with me. There is a rubberized T shaped bar that's supposed to prevent the notebook from slipping down the incline. This T-bar isn't welded to the baseplate, it's *screwed* (was there a pun there?). In fact there are *two* screws that hold the T-bar in place. The problem is these screws are on the inside of the T-bar facing your notebook. Now, there was an attempt at beveling such that the screws lay flat so they don't jut out and scratch your PC, but no dice, there wasn't enough beveling! The end result is your laptop will never touch the rubberized T-bar at all but will rather rest on those two jutting screws and of course ... get scratched! And? There's worse. Those two philips screws were stripped and burred by a laborer who doesn't know how to use a screwdriver! My $3500 laptop was resting on a series of burs (ding!) rather than that rubberized T-bar! The darned thing scratch up my $3500 notebook!
There are other design problems as well ...
That T-bar that doesn't do anything? It actually does. It prevents you from opening a shut computer. That's because you can't press that elongated open-button on your macbook anymore because the T is in the way! Nice design! But there's more. That same T-bar also blocks your CD slot! Imagine you forgetting you have a CD in your your machine and you eject it ... boing!
A few other things you should be aware of ...
This stand swivels. The slightest touch will send your laptop spinning. And by virtue of the design, it can spin right into your brand new aluminum keyboard (ding!) if you don't have ample distance between your stand and your keyboard. Personally, I like my keyboard really close to the laptop so the laptop is closer to me. In fact I like my keyboard somewhat underneath my laptop. You can't do that with this design. I ended up wedging my l bluetooth keyboard into the stand so it wouldn't spin and so my machine was closer. The downside to that? Aluminum against steel. Ding!
Obviously, I don't recommend this stand! Beware ...
Cheers!
