BoYata Laptop Stand, Adjustable Multi-Angle Laptop Holder, Compatible for Laptops up to 17 inches, Sturdy Aluminum & Silicone, Silver

The Boyata stand was a really nice surprise. I'd just gotten a string of three high-dollar items that were defective from Amazon (none of them from Boyata, it should be noted), so my expectations were low. Surprisingly, the stands are beautifully made, sturdy, extremely adjustable, and well-thought out. I liked mine so much that I bought a second one 24 hours after the first one. Aside from them working really well, here are some specific things that are worth noting that might help you decide on it.1: The floor-print is much smaller than an ordinary laptop. The actual base of the stand, while not tiny, is a lot smaller than my 13 inch Macbook Pro--the space savings will increase as you go to 15 inch laptops and greater. Even though the laptop itself will be just as big as it was before you put it on a stand, valuable desk space is returned.2: You can use the base for things. You could put a phone charger in there, for instance, or do what I did and put my speakers in the base. I've tried it with my Bose Soundlink Mini 2, with HomePod Minis (both work really well), and if you lift the stand way up, you can even fit a full-sized HomePod in there. But you could also store a USB-C/Thunderbolt dock in the base, or you could even put your coffee in there if you happen to have the stand up enough. The point is, it's a plain, perfectly level space you can put stuff on.3: It's really sturdy. I'm a fairly paranoid person that worries if my expensive laptops or tablets will eventually fall off of something like this if it begins to sag, but you really have to force it to adjust. This will be annoying for smaller people to get set up, admittedly, but when you get it where you want it, you have total faith that it's going to stay there. You can even put your palms on it and type on it like you normally would and it won't budge. This is going to be especially valuable for those with big, heavy laptops. It'll hold them.4: The highly skeletonized, open-air construction means you can place these in front of speakers with minimal effect too.5: It folds quite flat and doesn't take up a ton of space. This would not be a bad thing to travel with to use at a hotel desk, for instance, for better ergonomics.5: The only thing I don't like about it is how huge and prominent the Boyata logo is. I get that they made a great product and want to show off their trademark, but I'd prefer it either be a lot smaller or near the back. It breaks up some of the beauty of the stand.Anyway, this one's a very easy 5 out of 5 stars.

As a designer/artist, I’m always looking for the-right-for-me tech to make things a heckuva lot easier but tech that also encourages better use habits :) I particularly wanted a stand that would work for both active iPad use - something comfortable enough to use for drawing for long periods - and something that would support a larger 17” laptop when necessary. This stand is perfect. It holds my laptop really well and allows room underneath to put a keyboard. It has good height adjustment. It’s incredibly sturdy - quite heavy in fact - but that’s exactly what I need for the tech I use. I’ve tried plastic stands and they don’t work well for me. The joints on this stand move smoothly but they do take effort/pressure to alter - I would say they are stiff. Some might be out off by that but it’s important to me: I don’t want the angle slowly changing because I’m leaning to hard on my iPad for 2 hours! There are multiple angles you can choose easily and it’s well made and looks great. If you are a designer or an artist looking for a stand you can keep at your desk and use daily for long periods, this is a great choice. You could take it places if you have to ... but it’s weighty... so probably not something I’ll be doing. It’s great for light/reg iPad use too: the cord tucks out of the way nicely so it’s great for kitchen use (recipe viewing etc.) - basically any desk/countertop use. Happy customer. It arrived very quickly, packaged well... no damage whatsoever. Highly recommend.

The stand is sturdy, everything works well and looks nice and minimalistic. I have been using it for several months and am very happy

The product is very sturdy and easy to transport. No assembly is required as it comes in one piece. The silver one looks appealing and the color match with most laptops. We own a total of 4 so far that we bought within a year span and all have performed well. It doesn’t take up a lot of space and it’s a great value for your money.

Bought this for my Cintiq 16, which felt very sturdy and perfect for it. However, once I started to test it out, I noticed my tablet wobbled. Not something super noticeable, but for someone who gets hyperfocused, and any little thing causes disturbance, it's just not practical for me. :(It was nice for my iPad, and there was no wobbling, but the iPad is much smaller than the Cintiq, and the whole purpose of getting this was for my Cintiq.

The stand is much sturdier than I expected and is working great for my laptop. Very pleased with my purchase

perfect size for my laptop. Holds it safely, and high enough to see easily.

I have had this for nearly 4 years. I use it at home and at work. The adjustable height means I don't have to strain my neck or eyes when watching stuff on my tablet. It also has incredible tension, so at work, my heavy instructor manuals stay firmly in place. Somehow, it's still lightweight. I would purchase this again and highly recommend it.

Nothing better I expected. Super sturdy and nice laptop stand. You may go for this with closed eyes.Just remember that you buy the original one as I have observed a lot of copycats available in the market these days.It took me weeks to shortlist on this one and though the delivery took a little longer than expected, but at the end - I am very happy using this..

Holds laptop well and easy to adjust height and position. Strong and stable. Highly recommend.

There are three reasons I love this.1. The stand raises my laptop screen to eye level. This dramaticallly reduces my neck strain and eliminates the pain I used to feel when working for long times on the laptop.2. I teach, and in that role, I often meet with my students in teams using Zoom. The stand raises the camera, which iis at the top of the screen, to eye level. The students are no longer looking at my double chin, which is what they saw when the laptop was flat on the table.3. My laptop sometimes gets really hot, and the heat is blown to the bottom, causing the table to get hot. This cannot be good for the laptop. The stand allows the heat to exit the laptop, keeping it much cooler.This is a nice looking and well-made stand. I love it.

Used this for years now. Amazing quality, heavy metal meant for heavier laptops. Love that it can extend to an angle you like.

I use this mainly with my Wacom tablet and iPad for drawing on, but I use it as a laptop stand sometimes. I love that you can adjust the height any way you like. It is very sturdy, looks great and works well as a multipurpose stand. I'd highly recommend it!
