User Ratings and Reviews
5 Stars Excellent companion to MBP + 24″ Display
I bought it for my 17″ MacBook Pro to sit on next to my 24″ Cinema Display. The laptop used to take up 25% of my desk. With the stand it uses about 12% and I can slide papers/books/etc underneath it. I don’t use the cable routing hole in the back because it looks better ironically.
Very sturdy, does not slide around (stand or laptop), and aluminum matches Apple products very well. I highly recommend you buy one.
5 Stars love it
Made the biggest difference, i no longer slouch at my computer and can work comfortably for hours.
5 Stars Sturdy, Stylish, Superb!
I purchased the mstand to help raise and cool my 15 inch MacBook Pro. It works great and looks great as well. You won’t believe how sturdy and solid this single piece of aluminum is. Well worth the price. Actually I would have paid a little more and it would have been more than worth it! Stop reading reviews and just buy this puppy! You will not be disappointed.
Per the outside of the box:
MacLife Editor’s Choice – “AWESOME”
Macworld – “The stand is perhaps the most attractive stand I’ve seen. It’s definitely the sturdiest.”
4 Stars Excellent stand for your Macbook, with 1 flaw…
Just got the stand delivered and I must say the quality is very good. One of a few stands you can actually open the laptop without it falling over. Go over to youtube and watch the reviews from itsmemorphious. He does a great job detailing the pros and cons from his experience. The one thing I am disappointed on is the cabling system (hole) in the back of the stand. You can’t fit a mini-display-port-to-DVI cable through it. Thus, you can’t string your Apple Cinema Display connection through it or any display using a mini display port (VGA or DVI) adaptor. That is a big oversight. All they need to do is widen the hole. Considering they advertise with an Apple Cinema Display next to a macbook on the stand, they should have catered for the connection as well. Other than that…I find in this stand everything I was looking for. Great ergonomics, lifts my macbook up off the desk top so I can rest my wireless keypboard and mouse underneath and gives a good home in the back of my setup. Also, the heat dissipation seems good. Aluminum conducts heat better than air so just b/c it rests on rubber feet (good quality feet by the way) doesn’t mean you aren’t getting good flow as it still pulls away heat. Good product. Watch daily for it to get down to the low 40′s before you buy.
4 Stars Those Who Mainly Use Laptops on Desktops…
No more achy back and neck from being hunched over your laptop at your desk! This stand has made my workstation more ergonomically sound and freed up room on my desk. The space underneath the laptop is much appreciated as I use it to stash my keyboard and mouse when they are not needed. The color of the stand perfectly matches the aluminum MacBooks and MacBook Pros. It looks more like a natural appendage of the Mac rather than a bulky add-on. Form and function!
