Rain Design 10032 mStand Laptop Stand, Silver (Patented)

I have too many good things to say about these. This is the 5th one I've purchased because we keep getting them for new team members. No other stand compares. This is sturdy, super well designed so it's super stable. No assembly required, and I never have to worry about putting my computer on it. It's also great for putting papers under and has a nice cut out in the back for clean cable organization. Very awesome! Definitely worth getting. They last forever!

Summary: This is such a simple product that you might be wondering why my review is so long. The fact is I love getting products that work reliably and do their job, no matter how simple they are, and I love praising good products. The only drawback of this laptop stand is that it's not adjustable. And no, I don't work for Rain Design and I paid for this with money. Build Quality (10/10): This is made of solid aluminum. No plastic. It just feels really premium, and I'm sure it will last forever. I would probably need a sledgehammer to damage this in any way. Appearance (10/10): This thing just looks cool. It keeps your laptop at a healthy height for viewing the screen, and It especially looks good with MacBooks, and any laptops made of aluminum really. I have a giant Dell Inspiron made of aluminum and black plastic, and my roommate has a MacBook pro, and they both look great on the stand. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to make their desk look cleaner, cooler, and more ergonomic. Functionality (9/10): The only reason it's not a 10 is because it's not adjustable. However, given the simplistic nature of this product, I don't really mind. In my tests it cooled down my laptop fairly effectively. The hole in the back helps with cable management. There's some space under where the laptop goes that works well for storing small speakers, or anything you don't want to see on your desk. Any size laptop is completely stable when sitting on this stand, and the stand is completely stable on any surface. Like I said earlier, laptops sit at a healthy height on most desks. I usually just throw my laptop on the stand when I get home, instead of having it sit awkwardly on my desk, getting in the way of papers. Overall, I have really nothing bad to say about this stand. It's a little expensive, but it's worth every penny for the quality and build. If you don't feel the need to get a stand that you can adjust, nothing can really beat this product.

After running into issues of poor height elevation and heat management with my MacBook, I decided to look into laptop stands. Once I came across the mStand and its stellar reviews, I knew I had to give it a chance. I can be quite a skeptic and a critic so I was unsure whether or not I could trust the reviews. However, upon receiving the product and using it everyday for a few months, I can easily say that it has been one of the best investments I’ve made this year. Pros: - Amazing and highly effective heat transfer from the aluminum (my MacBook fan never goes off and is fairly cool even after heavy use) - Very durable and sturdy (from the rubber feet to the quality of the aluminum, the mStand is exceptionally made) - Perfect height and angle (it provides great elevation to eye level and helps improve posture and overall laptop user experience) - Great form and design (the stand feels and looks like an Apple product — minimal, beautiful, sleek) - Mimics the feel of a customizable desktop setup without the hassle Cons: - Difficult to use without a supplemental keyboard and trackpad/mouse Final thoughts: This stand has exceeded my expectations in every way. I did not think I could ever be so impressed by a laptop stand! It is perfect in conjunction with my supplemental keyboard and trackpad and it helps make any and all work on the laptop easier. I’m very grateful to have come across this stand and will be recommending it to others in my network. Thank you Rain Design for such a fantastic product!

I've gone through several stands over the last few years. I have a couch with a table to the side, and since I'm in IT and work at night a lot remotely on client systems, I keep my laptop running 24/7 and near me. So I've had a few stands for my various laptops that I've tried and used for a while, then replaced. I want something solid that I can just lean over and type on while it's in the stand, or something that's easy to get the laptop on and off of as I pull it to use on my lap. Since it's on a table, I also wanted some space for still being able to have some things on the table. And the space underneath this is perfect for one of my USB 3 external drives, my small logitech keyboard for my media center, and an LED control remote I keep by where I sit. Solid. VERY solid. I can type on this with no movement or bouncing of the laptop at all (15" retina macbook pro). It's easy to get on and off as well. The height is PERFECT for my needs and it looks good sitting here as well, whether the laptop is on it or off of it. They talk about the heat dissipation for the laptop but with the air between the laptop and the aluminum here, I'm not sure how much heat actually transfers, since it's already had to transfer off the laptop to the air to reach this in the first place. But there's no doubt it will absorb heat - we've had a week of 98 to 104 degree days here, and even when this was just in the back of the fed ex truck today for delivery, it got hot enough that when I opened it after taking it from the delivery person's hands, it was almost too hot to touch. Great looks, rock solid, a perfect choice for someone looking for a good laptop stand. Best I've ever had, and this one is definitely a keeper.

Gran qualità. In alluminio e ben solido, si adatta molto bene ai Mac. Mantiene lo schermo in una posizione ottimale. Altamante raccomandato anche dal New York Times nella rubrica "Wirecutter".

Produto de otima qualidade, bastante firme e elegante

Funcionalmente es perfecto. Además, su diseño y el material con el que está hecho le dan un gran encanto.

I like how it is a good height and angle. It is very sleek and I like the rubber stoppers that prevent my laptop from sliding around.

Excellent produit !
