The Best Laptop Stands

The structure is extremely rigid, so much so that it requires two hands to adjust it. It can raise your laptop more than 10 inches off the desk, which ensures you can find a comfortable position regardless of your height or the type of desk or table you're on.

I love the mix of materials, including the gentle fabric where you set your laptop and the matte metal finish in the weighted base. Hands-down, it's the classiest laptop stand money can buy.

It felt extremely sturdy, easily handling everything from a MacBook Air to a Razer Blade 16. I was never worried about the laptop slipping, thanks to the durable silicone pads used to keep it in place.

Fortunately, once you have it where you want it, it won't be sagging or dropping over time. In fact, you'll find that many laptop stands out there use the same basic build as this model, with only some minor changes.

Despite its size, it can handle laptops up to 16 inches and 6.2 pounds. The best part, however, is that it folds down completely flat without any moving parts. It sits perfectly in my bag up next to my laptop, and it can be set up in a seconds.

If you try to use the keyboard while it's propped up, you'll feel a bit of side-to-side wobble, but it otherwise feels very stable.

I also appreciate how much space there is for hiding accessories underneath, such as a mouse, trackpad, or external SSD.

This isn't an ideal option for people who aren't using a connected monitor, as it takes up a decent amount of space on your desk. It also isn't adjustable, meaning from an ergonomic perspective, you can't dial this in to exactly the correct height for your eye level.

All you have to do to raise the surface is press the handle, which is located underneath the main platform on the front right. In one quick motion, the riser extends to its maximum height of 16.9 inches, and you can also adjust it to be lower if needed. Both actions are also completely silent, too.

The thick, plastic tray and metal components show no signs of wear after two years. I've moved twice since purchasing it, and it's always come out unscathed from the rougher handling of moving companies.
