I’ve been teaching virtually and my laptop kept getting overheated from extended time on videochat running programs. My laptop still gets hot, but not nearly as often. This stand cut down the overheating by about 80%, I would estimate. The only thing I would complain about is that the two little edges that come up on the front are right where I usually rest my wrists. They are not a nice edge to have pressed against my wrist, but if I scoot my laptop a little bit forward and up, it rests more on top of them (the nice nonstick padding helps), so it’s not that big of a deal. Overall a very good buy! If your laptop is overheating, this will totally help!

I ordered this stand for my MacBook Air. I have an external monitor and needed to raise up the laptop screen so my cursor going from one screen to the other made sense. When the laptop was sitting on the desk, the cursor location was not obvious. Now, the cursor going from one screen to the other is seamless. Additionally, I like the fact that my laptop now has ventilation under it instead of it sitting on the desk with my external keyboard on top of it. The external keyboard stores under it now which opens up my desk without overheating the laptop. All in all, a great purchase.

I use my MacBook Pro with a second monitor and a separate keyboard, so this worked perfectly for my application. I'd been stacking books under it to raise the screen so it was on par with my second screen, but this does a much better job plus has great airflow and space under that can be used on my too small desk, where space is a premium. If you use the keyboard on your laptop, this won't work well for that, because it places the computer too high, but if you have a second keyboard, it's just perfect. I wasn't prepared for it to ship in 3 pieces, but they slid right together and made a solid platform that has a little bounce, but it is well designed and not hokey. 10/10 would buy again and definitely recommend.

My initial concerns when shopping for a stand:1) Is it sturdy.2) Is it wide enough so the laptop is stable but narrow enough for a small laptop.3) Does it look good.This stand exceeds all of the criteria and more. It is extremely sturdy. I have stacked two 17" laptops on one stand and it doesn't wobble at all.It is the perfect size for all size laptops. I have used it for 17" laptops, 15" laptops, and 13" laptops. I have never had any concerns about laptops being unstable and falling.It has cutouts for cords in the back. This is an added bonus that I find myself using.It is easy to assemble. I ended up buying 6 of these stands because they really are perfect.

 I've been using this stand for about a month now, and so far I really like it. It can easily hold the weight of my MacBook Air and my work PC laptop (which is way heavier). The color is really pretty, but it is already showing sings of wear. Granted, I carry it too and from work each day, so I guess it's not wholly unexpected to be scuffed up a bit. Overall, it was a good buy and I'm happy with my purchase!
