It gets my laptop high enough for good viewing angle. This laptop stand does exactly what I needed. It has space below that I can store items like CDs and flash drive.
This was until I learnt Griffin has fixed the problem by adding clips to the end of each arm. Get this one, it's fantastic. These put me off buying this product at first. This is a very clever addition and has given me peace of mind.
I highly recommend this stand; it is exactly what I was looking for. I'm glad I did, because I love it, and there has obviously been a redesign of arms on which the laptop sits. This, coupled with the $20 savings over the mStand I was otherwise considering, led me to purchase in spite of my reservations. I have posted a customer image in case this is unclear. I was concerned about buying this stand based on the reviews claiming that laptops were slipping right off of it. This seemed like a small risk to me considering where I intended to use it. Like the previous reviewer noted, Griffin has added plastic caps to the ends of these arms.
That with this stand------I'm very happy with this setup. Perfect stand to go with your sexy Mac. -----------Passes all CAT investigations. If you have a Macbook pro with the silver keys----download a fan controller. I was hesitant to purchase the stand because of the "slipping" problem I've read about. The company has now added these little plastic stoppers/clips the will keep any Mac from slipping off. Better for your posture and it keeps my mac a little cooler.
A few nights ago, I watched (in slow motion horror accompanied by a classic muffled/panicked "nooooooooooo." for added effect) as my macbook pro slid off the stand and onto my kitchen floor. My hard drive was broken because of the fall. I now have a big dent on my laptop and a ding in my kitchen floor. I took my laptop to the Apple store to have it diagnosed.
I should have trusted my first instinct to not buy products from Griffin. The hard drive and new torx set cost over $120. They said that since the stand was more than 2 months old that it was not a manufacturing defect and that they would be unable to cover the cost of the replacement hard drive and shell. DO NOT TRUST IT TO SUPPORT YOUR LAPTOP. This stand loses grip over time. After that, the laptop wouldn't boot. This was not all.
I don't even want to guess how much a new macbook pro shell would cost me.It is concerning that Griffin believes that a $30+ stand which supports a multi-thousand dollar computer should only be stable for one to two months.I spent the next day dissembling my laptop, installing a new hard drive, attempting to bend my laptop shell back into shape, reassembling my laptop, restoring OS-X and the environment that I had on the computer. THIS STAND IS DANGEROUS. The laptop was fully on the stand prior to sliding off. I called Griffin Technology to see what they could do for me.
