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.
It is really great. I would buy this product for as many laptops as I have. Saves neck strain for sure, plus it looks cool.
Very helpful in raising the laptop up to a reading level, so there is less eyestrai.Easily put together in 30 seconds. Well designed and simple - I've had no problem with it slipping at all, which I had a little concern about, but it's very stable.
It really helps with posture and your neck will feel so much better than it does when working with a laptop on the table.The only problem is the keyboard is too high to type on comfortably. This is great because it brings the laptop up to eye level. For this, you'll benefit from an extra keyboard and probably also a mouse.I recommend these to any laptop owners.
