4.0 out of 5 stars
It does what it's supposed to do, but you need a keyboard for best use, July 22, 2009
This review is from: Logitech Notebook Riser (N110) (Personal Computers)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
This is not a complicated product. It's light, sufficiently sturdy, easy to set up and take down, and will make your laptop more ergonomically friendly. The catches in the back for guiding wires is a plus.
A couple of pieces of advice:
1) This product is just about pointless without an external keyboard / mouse combo; the riser is basically there to help you make your laptop a replacement desktop. Given that Logitech already makes much of its income selling keyboards and mice, it makes sense for it to market a product, such as this, designed to make attaching external keyboards and mice to laptops a more enticing proposition. (Must be Logitech's master plan to turn your laptop into a desktop.)
2) If you plan on transitioning your laptop between "desktop" mode with the riser and "mobile" mode with any degree of regularity, and your keyboard / mouse combo isn't bluetooth, get a USB hub (like this one) and leave the keyboard and mouse plugged into that. The last thing you want to do is plug in any more cords than absolutely necessary.

Just what I was looking for, July 12, 2009
This review is from: Logitech Notebook Riser (N110) (Personal Computers)
I just bought a new 13-inch MacBook Pro and figured the only thing keeping it from becoming a desktop replacement for me was the viewing angle at my desk. I ordered this riser because it seemed to be just what I needed, and it's fantastic! Even though my laptop has a smaller screen than I'm used to for a desktop computer, having it eye-level makes all the difference in the world. I love the fact that the stand swivels so I can move it around easily for my comfort.
Also, I know that you're supposed to use an external keyboard, but I've been typing on an angle and it feels just like when I'm typing in bed, with the computer propped against my legs. Shame on me, I know, and I haven't done any really major typing yet with the riser, so if it becomes uncomfortable then I will get another keyboard. But for now, all is well.
Another plus is that it fits in my laptop sleeve with my computer, so I can have it with me wherever I need it.
This laptop riser is exactly what I needed. I love it!
ETA: I forgot to mention that this product is also really useful if you have cats and want to use a laptop at your desk all the time. Of course they want to walk all over your laptop keyboard if it is open, so having the riser as an option is a huge benefit!

With this riser, I am no longer the Hunchback of Notre Dame!, June 24, 2009
This review is from: Logitech Notebook Riser (N110) (Personal Computers)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
+ Pros:
+ Three different settings for notebook height.
+ Latches keep riser in place.
+ Swivel in the back to rotate the notebook.
- Cons:
- Cannot adjust height while notebook is on the riser.
I usually use the desktop computer in our house because our Dell notebook is hard for me to type on. Using a flat keyboard on a flat surface never worked well for me, so I was eager to try this out.
The riser is surprisingly light, and in all honesty I didn't think it would hold our 10lb notebook, but it held up with no problem. I was able to move the notebook from side to side on the swivel base, the latching was very sturdy, and my posture felt better looking straight ahead at the screen, as opposed to my usual table hunching.
Logitech's instructions were very easy to follow - I've uploaded some samples, they're all in picture format. This will take you no time at all to set up.
The only flaw with this product is the riser height cannot be changed without removing the notebook first. When I tried, it was very uncomfortable.
Overall, this is a great product and I would definitely recommend it for notebook users.
