Griffin Elevator Computer Laptop Stand - Matte Space Grey/Clear

Product Information

inches off the desk surface, which in our case still wasn't enough to bring the display to an ergonomic level. Elevator holds your laptop computer safely and securely at just the right height to match external monitors - and to save your aching neck.

Simply position the top of your screen level with your eyes and sit at least an arm's length from the screen.

Putting the stand together, though, proved intuitive; just slide one metal arm into the slots on each side of the plastic stability bar and you're in business. A laptop battery can sometimes drain quickly if you use your device for demanding tasks, or if its capacity simply isn’t as good as it used to be.

However, we did notice that the supports were prone to wobbling whenever we bumped the desk (which was often) or even if we just typed with a heavy hand. Whether you need a messenger bag or a backpack, you’ll find all the accessories you need to protect your notebook and carry it with style. Less expensive laptop stands from Fellowes and Targus, though not as attractive as the Elevator, offer at least a little adjustability, making them a better choice for users who want a proper ergonomic setup.

Usually, they are powered by a USB port and help reduce the temperature of your device while you do your work. But one need only look to its color scheme to discover the real selling point of the Griffin Elevator: the silver metal and clear plastic stand would look quite elegant displaying a MacBook Pro at the side of your desk while you worked with both an external keyboard and external monitor. Though her gadget lust remains, the practicalities of her small kitchen dictate that single-function geegaws never stay around for long. Innovations that are not only purpose-built and of the best quality, but that also make life better.
