4.0 out of 5 stars Good product but......, January 27, 2010

This product is sturdy and looks very decent but it doesn't sit completely flat. If your hand or elbow tap the sides of it the tray will rotate a few degrees. It seems like they could have made the bottom more flat or added rubber tips on the bottom corners to keep it from turning. Otherwise the product works very well and gives an optimal viewing angle for my laptop. If i had to split hairs I'd ask them to make the lip a tiny bit taller so the laptop doesn't slide over the lip and off the tray but I'm being a little paranoid when I say that. Overall I like the product.

1.0 out of 5 stars Flimsy, Dont Expect it to hold a 17 incher, April 4, 2011

I guess this is a good stand for the price, if you have a 13 inch laptop, or maybe a mac book air, but font expect it to properly hold a 17 inch laptop. I have a 17 inch dell, with 2 hard drives (one ssd so it doest weigh much). My laptop has a keypad and number pad (as is common with dell 17, HP and Toshiba). The stand does not fully support my laptop, due to its size and weight. What is worse is its next to impossible to use the adjust button to tilt the laptop once you have it sitting on top of this thing.

I think I will go back to using a couple books for a stand.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for Macbook Air!, August 15, 2011

I got this riser for use with a 2011 Macbook Air. It would be used for docking purposes with an external keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Upon receiving the item, I can understand why some people would be hesitant about the size of the lip holding the laptop on. It's perfectly find for a thin Air, but with bulkier PC laptops, it might be a tad precarious. I have the thing set in its most tilted setting, and the bottom of the laptop LCD and my external Dell on a 5-inch stand line up perfectly. Given 100% choice, it would line up top-to-top, but it still makes it extremely useable. The lack of side guards is actually very good in that it makes it very easy to access the ports. And the unit has a good amount of friction, so I wouldn't ever worry about my laptop sliding off sideways.
