BoYata Laptop Stand, Adjustable Laptop Riser with Slide-Proof Silicone and Protective Hooks, Laptop Stand for Laptop up to 17 Inches, Laptop Holder Compatible for MacBook, Laptop-Black

This laptop stand is PERFECT! I spent many years with a headache & pains in my neck from using my laptop. I don't even know how I found this stand, but after careful research, I bought it. And oh my!! If only I'd had one back in '02, my doctor bills would have been close to nil. I can now use my laptop in any room.. at any table (even the coffee table in front of my couch.. with NO pain!It's sturdy as heck & adjustable into many positions! You have to use a little strength to adjust it, but I'm a 67 year old woman who had a stroke that did a job on my right side. My right hand & arm are weaker than they used to be & of course I'm right-handed. But reaching through the middle, I grip the back of the base with my right hand, & use the top of my forearm to push up to open it more, & pretty much the opposite to close it. The "closing" explanation is a little iffy.. you kind of just have to study it first & decide which way is best for you.The sturdiness of the joints definitely feels like it will take what could be years of adjusting to make it loosen up (which is really the way you want it to be). It looks like the only way it could become a little shaky is if you have the stand wide open then push the monitor open all the way. BUT- I set a heavy seashell on the base to remove any possible wobble. My stand is sitting as tall as it will go right now & my monitor is set as far back as possible - I'M TYPING ON IT RIGHT NOW and it's absolutely fine!PLEASE DON'T let this influence your decision on buying! My set-up is unusual, & is just my preference ... most people will not have the stand & laptop set wide open anyway. But if you do, just place something with a little weight to it on the base.Some people have asked about the prongs getting in the way of comfortable typing. The bottom half of my comp is 9/16" and the prongs stand just the *smallest* bit above it. I set my metal ruler down flat on my comp, & the difference isn't even enough to keep the ruler on board. It slides right off. The prongs make no difference to me while typing.. most times my wrists set just outside the prongs - but that's me.Your laptop will NOT slide off - there is a rubbery substance on the stand surface (and on the inside of the prongs!) which stop things from moving. You have to raise the comp straight up to remove it - it just will NOT slide. Your laptop will also NOT overheat while sitting on this stand. There are 5 good sized slots running across the 'bed' so that heat is allowed to dissipate. This, to me, is the definite BIG plus!The best part is I can now use my laptop in while in a sitting position or while laying down on my couch or bed - and be COMFORTABLE while doing so!! No eyestrain, neck ache or headache!!And with a little ingenuity, I found I can read books on my Kindle while my Kindle is sitting upright on this stand. A lot of people will laugh at this, but hey.. at least duck tape isn't involved. I inserted a wooden kabob stick into a 7/16" (OD) by 9" long thick rubber straw - the kind you get with re-usable jumbo size plastic glasses - taped the ends closed, & set in on the 2 prongs that stop the computer from falling off the stand. My Kindle sits on top of this straw & is perfectly sturdy. I turn pages with a light finger-tap at the edge & have NO problem with it moving around. None! The rubber of the straw sticks to prongs & my Kindle & the kabob stick makes the straw sturdy. Nothing rolls. This is just to give an idea if someone wants to use both laptop and an e-reader on one piece of equipement. Am sure others can/will find some other kind of "something".... I just didn't have anything else to use. :)Bottom line is ... you won't go wrong buying this stand! It's great!! (The shipping by this seller was extremely fast, too!)

This is a great desk accessory that lifts the laptop to a comfortable and safer viewing height. It’s fully adjustable, feels solid and tight, and doesn’t wobble once set. The build quality is excellent, and it doesn’t look cheap at all — the space gray finish matches a MacBook Pro very well. It also helps free up desk space by raising the laptop off the surface. A well‑designed and very useful stand.

Simple, solid, and does exactly what it should. Easy to adjust, holds the laptop steady, and improves posture right away. The build feels sturdy, not flimsy, and it doesn’t slide around on the desk. One of those small upgrades that actually makes a difference.

I've had two of these for 5 years: one for home, one for work. They work as well today and they did when they were brand new. The stands are sturdy, adjustable, hold their position without wiggling or slipping. Very useful.

I bought this stand because I got a Thinkpad workstation laptop and want to match the color with the laptop. The stand is well made, it is solid, stable and allow multiple angles, BUT it doesn't fit big laptops like mine, my Thinkpad is a 15 inch laptop and part of the rear ends out of the base and it blocks some cooling vents at the bottom. I use it with an old 13 inch MacBook which fits very well. If you have a big laptop be careful to buy this stand.

Bought this a couple years ago during the pandemic for my laptop and then bought another one for my son for his iPad during remote learning. I mostly use this with a laptop on the stand and wireless keyboard below, but frequently also with my iPad Pro either laying on the stand (stand tipped down) or standing on it (stand horizontal). Recently it has also been on my nightstand as a de facto shelf, holding a lamp, a personal fan, phone and other nightstand miscellany.Pros:—Very stable, only wobbles or tips if you try to extend the arm virtually straight, but that’s not a fault of the product, just physics.—Very sturdy, the hinges are strong and won’t buckle or sag. The whole unit had a solid weight without feeling heavy.—The rubber pads keep things from slipping—Versatile, as stated above I’ve used them with laptops, tablets, and as a shelf to create extra space on my nightstand, also as a book stand and phone stand (each hook is wide enough to keep a phone stable).—Great value for the money.Cons (kind of):—I’ve tried it on my bed for watching movies, which it is not designed for, so it was naturally less stable. But combined with a lap tray, it was workable. It works best on a flat, hard surface.—Some people might find it harder to adjust at first, but if you follow the instructions about adjusting it from the middle you’ll be fine, and quite frankly, that’s more than an acceptable trade-off for the stability and almost infinite positionability.In short, I love this well-made and versatile stand and may even get a third one for work!

Well built and Works great. Nice amount of friction on the legs makes it hold its position. I bought it to let more air flow around the laptop but i noticed its much better for posture as i can bring the laptop screen up to the idea height. Finish is more of a speckled/glittery silver than a matt silver like a macbook for example but the tone is similar and you cant really see it anyway once laptop is on it. Base is very solid. I'd much prefer if the logo was on the bottom its abit ugly right in the front middle and i dont see any need to advertise none else is going to see it.[Update-3 years later] Still a fantastic product. Rock solid holding its position, I've used it not stop and it definitely works to keep the laptop and battery cool. On the occasion I used the laptop on a table top it heats up fast. With this its still fine theres ebough ventillation and maybe the metal construction acts as a heat sink even in a full sun window. I used double sided gel tape to stick a USB hub over the logo so that's no longer a problem either. Still recommended.

Loved this stand for my laptop. It’s sturdy and multi functional for all your needs. I chose black to match my laptop. Looks great!

Good product

Good sturdy material. Arrived really fast. It has the logo at the base which I would have preferred hidden, but it’s in the photos- I just didn’t notice.

Arrived in good time. Bought at for using my laptop when I am standing. The adjustable height is just right for me. The stand is made of metal, feel very steady, good quality and well made. Good discounted price, bought two on black friday weekend. Happy with my purchase.

I have had this for almost a month now and am really happy with this purchase. I use it every day to raise my laptop screen to my eye level. Since using it I have avoided back/neck strain from constantly looking down at the laptop screen. It is a solid quality build and minimal design that does the job without any hassle. I put my laptop on it and use a wireless mouse and keyboard. Sometime I use the laptop keyboard while the laptop is on the stand and while there is a small amount of wobble, the wobble is not enough to annoy me. However, I wouldn't recommend using the laptop keyboard for regular typing while on the stand, this is because the stand raises the keyboard to a height and angle that is not comfortable for me.I like that the size of the base is small, so it frees up space on my desk because the base of the stand is smaller then the base of my laptop. Also I can place things on the base of the stand, like a notebook or my wireless keyboard.It is very lightweight and portable. I move it around the house often, such as taking it to the kitchen to watch recipe instructions while cooking, or place it on a table to have a quick video call.

Super sturdy, and strong
