Before I ordered this item for personal use, I had already been using this at work for about a month. It has been a boon for my stressed neck muscles. I have a Toshiba M35 15.4" wide-screen laptop at home and a Compaq nc6000 at work. While it fits just perfectly with both the laptops, there is a slight overhang (approx 1" on one side) when used with the Toshiba laptop. This can be an irritant if you would want to attach the mounting bracket for the document holder (which I would expect to be included with the product, not sold as an extra). You get the mounting bracket, but not the document holder!!

The good news is that the product is very very flexible (with multiple height settings) and very laptop-friendly (with vents in the base. This is better than putting your laptop on a flat surface.) Both of my laptops run a lot cooler! The detachable shelves (2 in number) are handy, but one would work just fine. 3M should replace the other one with the document holder. If you use a wireless mouse, you can put the base on it, or just a little trinket.

Finally, for just $23, you cannot beat this laptop riser. I have always admired 3M and this wonderful product hasn't dimmed my admiration for them.

This is the best, affordable, and cool-looking laptop riser.

This is a pretty basic piece of equipment - no frills here. It does fine job holding my notebook computer. It does seem overpriced in my opinion for what is does.

I did not know about the side attachments when I bought it and thought it would be a nice addition, however it did not take but a few minutes for me to bust off the little hooks on the bottom (be careful). They still work, they are just not as secure.

I use a Dell Latitude E5500, which I generally like, however the main draw back is all the ports (e.g., USB) are on the sides so it is not easy to pull all the cables together and you can't really use the rear portion of the riser. I have had to adjust the riser level so the cords do interfere with my Dell 22" monitor just to the left of it.

Once you get it set up you will not likely want to adjusting the riser as it requires both hands to adjust it. Again it works fine, however if you are looking for some flexibility in quickly adjust height and/or moving it from a different workspace I would recommend checking out some of the different risers out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great space saver and reduces neck strain too, November 15, 2005

I purchased this so that I would have room on my desk for a secondary keyboard. When I got it, I realized that there was enough room underneath the raised laptop to fit my external hard drive, USB hub, and network switch. My desk is now much less clutterd with wires, and the laptop is at a much more comfortable height.
