Pro: It is sturdy. The design allows me to store my keyboard underneath which frees up desk space. Positions laptop 8″ above my desk.
Con: Height is not adjustable. $49 is a lot of money for a piece of metal bent into a “U” shape. The lip of the notebook stand curls around front of laptop to keep it from sliding off the notebook stand, but I use a seperate fan pad under my laptop and the notebook stand lip is not wide enough to hold the fan pad and laptop.

Although I would really like to give this stand three stars, I can’t give it any more than two. The stand is beautiful, sturdy and does a good job of holding your laptop. Great. It contains a cable routing hole in the rear to keep cables neat. Smart. That said, this product suffers from a single major design flaw that just can’t be overlooked: The cable routing hole is too small to accommodate the DVI plug from an apple Cinema display, despite the fact that the stand is shown *right next to* an apple cinema display in the product’s retail packaging.
FAIL.
Fail. Fail. Fail.
Did rain design not try to plug this into a single laptop accompanied by a Cinema Display before taking the design to the manufacturing step? Incredible. Sure, you can bypass the hole for the cinema display plug, but then what’s the point in having the cable routing in the first place???

If you’re looking for a sleek looking, solidly built laptop stand (especially for a MacBook Pro), this really is a great product. I would have given it five stars, but I just couldn’t bring myself to do it because of the price. Don’t get me wrong — this is a great product — but $50 is well over what it should be. If you don’t mind spending the extra cash, go ahead and get it — you won’t regret it.

It is a nice looking laptop stand but for my Asus M50sa did not provide stable position. Most likely due to its was being designed for Apple laptops. So i had to get myself Xbrand ones and very content w/ them. I gave this to my friend who’s using it for his 13″+ laptops seems to be working fine for him.

What is there to say about this stand that hasn’t been said in these reviews or the rest of the reviews spread through out the internet.
I received the stand not but 4 hours ago and my neck feels better already.
The product is sturdy and rock solid. There’s no frills its just a simple great looking design and it does the job.
The only (and negligible) down side to this stand is that it does not have additional usb ports which are found in other less quality stands. Which also leads to a second point. While you can safely type on your laptop while it is perched on this stand it will undoubtedly strain your neck and wrist. Having said that it would be in your best interest to purchase an external keyboard and mouse along with this great stand. If you own a mac and like the apple keyboard and magic mouse that would be an optimal set up cause both of them use bluetooth and won’t take up any USB ports. But I opted for a logitech performance mouse and a wired keyboard with an usb hub for the time being.
This stand might end up costing you more than you initially had wanted to spend because of additional costs like a external keyboard and mouse along with a possible USB hub.
Even knowing the possible additional costs of purchasing this stand I would still highly recommend it.
