3M Laptop Stand, Raise Screen Height to Reduce Neck Strain, Vertical Design Allows You to Bring Screen Closer, Compact Foot Print Saves Desk Space, Non-Skid Base Keeps Laptop Secure, Black (LX550)

I got through laptops quickly, and stands as well when the laptop changes. My previous laptop I got in Jan of this year, was a Lenovo Helix, which only opened up so far (the hinge had limiters in it because the top comes off in tablet form so it couldn’t open much past about 110 degrees or so). In April I got the Thinkpad Yoga, which can flip around 360 degrees, so I wanted a stand that would place it higher off the desk in my office, more in line with the second monitor I use. That way I didn’t have one nearly on the desk and the extended monitor up on the stand.This seemed to fit the need, since it allows for a pretty high screen on a laptop if the screen can open up that wide. And it does, and I would have loved it and given 5 stars, except that when the laptop is set to be raised to that high of an angle, you can’t get it anywhere near flush to a wall or anything behind it, because that foot extends back. So you’re only able to get about 6 inches or so from the edge of anything, which puts this, in my layout anyway, at too weird of an angle compared to the stationary monitor in the corner.It works well though if that isn’t an issue for you. The rubber on the bottom edge does a great job of keeping it in place, and the angle is quickly and easily adjusted with a simple thumb screw. There’s no wiggle, no rattle, and nothing at all to get in the way of ports on your laptop. It even has a couple slots in the back for cable management if your setup allows cables to run straight out the back of the foot.All told a nearly perfect product for me, 5 star build quality but for my use, only 4 stars for usability in my circumstances. But still better than the shallower one I replaced that I used on the Helix that couldn’t open the screen very wide.
