X-Stand Laptop Stand, Steklo Universal Computer Stand for MacBook 12" 13" 15" 17" Screen, Aluminum Cooling Portable Adjustable MacBook Stand, Laptop Riser (NEWEST 2018 2017 2016) X-Stand

So since the iPad Pro release I've been on a mission to find a good stand to simple prop the iPad up a bit for sketching. I'm a product designer by trade so I'm not doing insanely intricate work (mostly concept sketching) and after years of sketching a Cintiq, I'm used to sketching at somewhat of an angle. I originally purchased a stand that was marketed as an iPad Pro/Macbook Air Stand from a much more expensive (almost triple the cost) and well-known brand, but it fell short in more ways than one. THIS, however, is perfect for iPad Pro sketching. It works so well that in fact, I'm going to also write the seller to make sure they add it to the description. The problem with the "other" stand(s) is they simply aren't portable. Why would you want to buy a huge clunky stand (yes it might be pretty and textured aluminum and Apple make it more appealing by offering it in their online store) and not be able to just throw it in your bag? The Steklo X-Stand features very well thought out design and construction along with the portability you want for the products it supports. I do have one small gripe however, and that is the "feet" at the bottom that stabilize the laptop (by your wrists if you were typing) are a bit long. They stick out above the edge of the iPad Pro but for MacBook Pro customers this probably wouldn't be a huge deal depending on what model/how you type. For me personally I will probably Dremel them down a hair shorter so they're flush with the screen (I'm on the fence though as they do offer a good place to rest the Pencil) and still do their job of holding the unit in place. In all reality the feet haven't really bothered me yet on a physical level (I've only been using it for a few days) so I guess it's more of an OCD thing. The feet and back supports are soft polymer that provide plenty of grip/stability and I don't see them scratching any type of metal, but I use a case regardless. If you're looking for a great way to prop up your iPad Pro for sketching/drawing/painting whatever, you've found it! Don't go blowing all kinds of money on a more expensive stand when it's simply not necessary and lacks portability. I've added some customer images for anyone who'd like to see it modeled with an iPad Pro.

I bought this stand because I was going to be mobile a lot with my laptop and needed something that wasn't going to bulky when I packed it , but would lift my pc when I would game to allow good ventilation.I am currently using this on a Dell Inspiron i7559-2512BLK 15.6 Inch FHD Laptop (6th Generation Intel Core i7, 8 GB RAM, 1 TB HDD + 8 GB SSD) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M and it works great! It lifts the pc without putting any marks or scratches on the computer and it does allow better viewing angles with it if your using a keyboard separately( which is two of the reasons I got it for.)The stand seems to made out of aluminum and is okay in relevance to the price. . if they would have made it 1/64 " or 2/64 " thicker it would have felt even sturdier, but I guess it would have cost more for them, and then for you.Being 23 dollars when I bought it I think they should at least increase the thickness by that much to better it but, as it is the product is good.It is easily adjustable to your laptop since it has numbers on the sliders which stand for inches of your laptop so you can easily slide and lock to your size and not have to eyeball it every time.One of the other things I wish they would have done is added rubber instead of the soft plastic they added on the ends.That way over time you could replace the heads if your moving a lot AND you would have way more grip than the stand currently offers.Apart from these two reasons which would make the product better, this stand is fantastic compared to the ones with the fans that are really thick, hard to pack, and dont really do much except add noise.

This stand is really impressive! It holds my 17 inch laptop at a comfortable angle for typing. Super sturdy, light and folds up to a nice size for traveling.

Product: Steklo Laptop Riser Used for: 1 year and 4 months Key Features: – Extremely portable and lightweight design – High-quality materials that feel durable – Good stability for various laptop sizes Ratings: Quality: The build quality is excellent, with a strong and durable design that has held up perfectly after more than a year of regular use. Rating: 5/5 Performance: Stability is very good, and it fits a wide range of laptop sizes. However, it lacks any real height adjustability, so you’re locked into one angle. That said, it still works well for improving airflow and keeping the laptop from sitting flat. Rating: 4/5 Value: A bit on the pricey side, but it performs well and is built to last, so the investment feels justified. Rating: 4/5 Pros: – Highly portable and travel-friendly – Solid and durable build quality Cons: – No height adjustment options Summary: The Steklo Laptop Riser is an excellent choice if you value portability and durability. While it lacks height adjustment, it still improves airflow and provides a stable platform for your laptop. A bit expensive for what it offers, but it’s a reliable, long-lasting option. Overall Rating: 4/5 Disclaimer: This review is based on my personal experience using the product. I'm not an expert—just sharing my honest thoughts to help others make an informed decision.

Incredible product. Much more solidly built than I had expected. I purchased this because my 2017 MacBook Pro I-7 would warm up considerably during heavy work (I am a data scientist and push the machine to crunch very large sets before I move a project over to AWS for its computing power). This product was more than I expected. It is light weight, strong, and folds conveniently into a size that fits in an outer pocket of my backpack, thus I carry it with me wherever I go. Even when I am not crunching numbers, I place my Mac on it. The typing angle is perfect for long coding sessions and makes my hands feel much better. The item does adjust for the size of the laptop. My MacBook Pro is a 15 inch, but my ASUS laptop is a 17 inch. With a quick turn of the pressure dial on two of the legs, the X-stand adjusts between my Mac and ASUS so that each has a SOLID platform to rest on. And the room below the machines is ample to provide good airflow to keep the machines cooler. I wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend the X-Stand, especially if your "office" is more often on your back and your workstation is any desk surface you can find like mine tends to be. It conveniently folds into a small size and provides an adjustable, solid platform to air your laptop. I may purchase additional ones so for when (as too often happens) this great product is discontinued - should it every be - or for holiday gifts for my other geek friends.

I have to admit I spent almost too much time looking for a stand checked all the boxes before I found this Steklo. I wanted a stand that wasn't so tall that it required you get an external keyboard in order to type (extra $$$ on an external keyboard that would clutter my desk). I wanted one that wasn't at all gimmicky with cooling fans or lighting (just wanted the intake fan on the bottom to not be suffocated while on a desk or table). And I didn't want one so bulky that it would end up being a pain to haul if I wanted to work on something away from home. This Steklo was exactly what I needed. The back end of the laptop is only lifted up about 2" which allows plenty of airflow for cooling while still making it ergonomic enough to use my laptop's keyboard comfortably, which was a major selling point for me. The points where the stand touch the bottom of the laptop and my desk are plastic so I don't have to worry about scratching either surface, which is another big plus. And it easily folds up so I can get full functionality anywhere by just bringing my laptop, mouse, charger, and this stand. It may seem pricey for what you get compared to other stands, but if you want a stand that just works, isn't fussy, and is super sturdy - this is it!

This stand is excellent it is easy to travel with it keeps the laptop up off the table which helps to keep the laptop cool. Simple, easy, and convenient.

Durable aluminum construction. Adjustable for multiple laptop sizes. No big bulky cheap plastic cooling pad to lug around, which effectively defeats the purpose of the portability of the device I need it for. This stand folds up into a very compact form factor that fits perfectly into one of the pockets in my laptop bag, no fuss, no problem. No useless fans that generally never improve temperatures in any meaningful way that the fans in the laptop don't already accomplish themselves if they have ample room to breathe, not to mention promoting more dust and dirt getting pushed into the laptop vents, all at the expense of more fan noise and using up one of the already scarce USB ports on the laptop to power them, therefore no mechanical moving parts that will inevitably break or die. This is getting use with a 17.3" MSI Stealth GS76 laptop sporting a Core i7 11800H and a 16 GB RTX 3080 - This laptop gets mighty hot during gaming sessions, and sometimes even during general tasks when sitting flat on a surface. I already have to max the fans to 100% during gaming sessions so as it is. I'm always trying to prop something under the rear outer edge of the laptop to elevate it a little for better airflow, what a pain. This little stand has solved all my problems and really helps a lot to allow the fans in the laptop to work more effectively, pulling much more airflow through the vents underneath, as well as more room for hot air to exhaust away from it, and has such a small footprint where it makes contact with the underside so as not to block airflow into the vents. I get incredibly better cooling results with this stand. My only complaint related to this stand is directed at myself because I didn't get one sooner. It's exactly what I've had in mind and have been looking for.
