Bosvision Ergonomic Aluminium Portable Foldable Cooling X-Stand for 12"-17" Laptops, Notebook PC, MacBook

This is an extremely nifty bit of kit. :)Firstly, It does the job very efficiently - I have been using my computer on it for several hours now, and it's barely even warm, whereas normally it would be worryingly hot by now.Secondly, it's unobtrusive. The other devices I have seen that are intended to do this job have a supportive limb that sticks out at the back, looking very odd and taking up a good deal more space. This just fits neatly under the computer.Thirdly, it's easily portable, as it is not only quite light, but also folds down to something that will easily fit into a computer carry bag.And finally, it puts the keyboard at a comfortable angle to type on. :)The only thing I can see which might be viewed as a drawback is that it is not adjustable. But as it works so very well at this angle and makes the keyboard so comfortable to use, I don't see this as a problem.I am very, very pleased with this purchase. :)Just one additional note - the main picture on this page shows the stand being used upside down, which I think must account for the handful of low reviews which said that the stand wobbled or that the computer slipped off it. When you use it the other way up, it's perfectly stable, and the computer can't slip off because the little tabs (which look like feet in the picture) hold it in place. :)

For something that's straight outta China (or is it Taiwan?), this thing is very nice quality. The whole thing folds away perfectly, and is incredibly light. You could take this travelling if you wanted, but that sort of defeats the point of a laptop.There are two bars of adjustable lengths, and the lengths can be set in place with a couple of rotating cuffs. The notches are also enumerated, which is hugely helpful for remembering settings which work well with certain sized laptops (1.5 is perfect for a 13 inch Macbook Pro).In terms of cooling, I've noticed the fan revving up much less. The slight angle this stand gives also makes a welcome difference, and it should be noted that the stand can be used both ways around, but I prefer using the bottom bracket as a 'cradle' as it feels more secure this way. The added versatility is a nice design touch however, so extra points for that.Perhaps most importantly, the stand looks cool, and fits in with a modern aesthetic, but I don't know a lot about this sort of thing so I'll stop there.TL;DR: Well made, does the job, and looks cool (probably).

Good, strong stand with passive cooling (no fan!) and great looksThis product is firstly compact, folding to easily fit in my 13" laptop bag, unlike the big raised stands you can buy.Secondly, it looks like it should go with a mac air or netbook, unlike cheap plastic stands.Furthermore it doesn't get in the way of your hands whilst typing, raising the key board a comfortable amount so your wrists are not bent upwards or arms left without support. That extra inch or so really help keep your neck and back straight for comfort.Whilst its perfect for my 13" Ultrabook, we've also tried it with a friends old 17" XPS brick and it worked just as well, expanding quickly and easily.This stand is for desks only as the four feet cant hold up on your lap or bed and there is no USB plugin but I guess the only time you'll need that is if you're gaming or modelling; both of which I'd suggest you do on a desk...

So I have had this stand now for nearly 10years, purchased on 30 Oct 2014, I still use it almost every day. what I like is that it can fold easily and fit into the bottom my backpack and is very lightweight.The elevated typing angle for me provides could ergonomics for typing and viewing, especially for thoselong periods of time in the coffee shop / library.Also the slight elevation assists with the cooling of the laptop, I run some very intense virtual machines and applications on the laptop and it gets considerably hot.works well with macbooks and thinkpads, which are the only two makes of laptops I have used the stand with.

I wanted a stand with lots of clearance between the laptop and the surface it sits on to maximize airflow underneath. When I saw this stand I was worried it might be rather flimsy, not fit my laptop well, or slide off the boards I tend to place my laptop on...The product immediately seemed strong and easily adjustable, and fits my laptop well (mine is a 17" screen to give idea of size). The feet at the front of the stand support my laptop perfectly and it never seems to slip, though I am careful to not tip the laptop too much just in case. The clearance under my machine is great, a little more than 2 inches due to where the back feet of the stand sit, so will help cooling. The angle of the laptop is now also much more comfortable for my wrists, which wasn't a consideration when I bought the stand but is nice nonetheless.NB. The only thing I do wonder is whether much larger laptops would sit on the stand so well, my laptop at 17" is not by any means the largest out there, so something to consider maybe when buying for larger machines, though the stand has fairly decent adjustment...

I bought, what I thought was going to be a rubbish, plastic stand like this in a pound store as my laptop kept overheating and I wanted to raise it a bit so it could get more air flow. To my surprise it lasted two or three years and did the job brilliantly. I never really liked the cheap plastic, but loved the design so looked for something to replace it and came across this one.Wow, I love it so much! It feels weighty, but not too heavy, because of the quality of the aluminium. It couldn't be quicker to close or open it for portability, It is very easy to change the size for different laptops and fits my 17 inch perfectly. The laptop actually feels much more secure and stable on it than on the plastic one.All in all I am very happy with it and am just about to buy another for my husband.
