Pro: It is sturdy. The design allows me to store my keyboard underneath which frees up desk space. Positions laptop 8" above my desk.
ReplyDeleteCon: Height is not adjustable. $49 is a lot of money for a piece of metal bent into a "U" shape. The lip of the notebook stand curls around front of laptop to keep it from sliding off the notebook stand, but I use a seperate fan pad under my laptop and the notebook stand lip is not wide enough to hold the fan pad and laptop.

Although I would really like to give this stand three stars, I can't give it any more than two. The stand is beautiful, sturdy and does a good job of holding your laptop. Great. It contains a cable routing hole in the rear to keep cables neat. Smart. That said, this product suffers from a single major design flaw that just can't be overlooked: The cable routing hole is too small to accommodate the DVI plug from an apple Cinema display, despite the fact that the stand is shown *right next to* an apple cinema display in the product's retail packaging.
ReplyDeleteFAIL.
Fail. Fail. Fail.
Did rain design not try to plug this into a single laptop accompanied by a Cinema Display before taking the design to the manufacturing step? Incredible. Sure, you can bypass the hole for the cinema display plug, but then what's the point in having the cable routing in the first place???

If you're looking for a sleek looking, solidly built laptop stand (especially for a MacBook Pro), this really is a great product. I would have given it five stars, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it because of the price. Don't get me wrong -- this is a great product -- but $50 is well over what it should be. If you don't mind spending the extra cash, go ahead and get it -- you won't regret it.

It is a nice looking laptop stand but for my Asus M50sa did not provide stable position.Most likely due to its was being designed for Apple laptops. So i had to get myself Xbrand ones and very content w/ them. I gave this to my friend who's using it for his 13"+ laptops seems to be working fine for him.
