Kensington Easy Riser - Portable Ergonomic Laptop Cooling Stand

We have a number of laptops in our home and required a solution to an unusual problem! We have a cat .... well you know that should read "the cat chose us as her staff". Like all cats she likes comfort so needs to find some warm place to snooze and do whatever it is that cats do when pretending to be asleep. Our astute lady cat chose our laptops. They are warm enough to balance out the slight inconvenience of a lumpy keyboard, but then that tends to mould to the body shape a bit. Turn our backs for 10 seconds and she was there, causing havoc with part completed emails, printing processes and anything that would respond in some awful way to random key presses. Experiments with an ever so cheap and flimsy angle stand revealed that a medium angle of incline would be enough for her to slide off and understand that clinging on was not worth the effort. She never went near it again. Family score 1, cat zero! Now to replace that flimsy stand with quality. I know Kensington having used their excellent laptop security products so took a look at the Easy Riser. The Amazon reviews that mentioned the strong plastic used in manufacture clinched it, I paid the very reasonable price and within a few days I was admiring the tough build, simple construction with a minimum of parts and the generous use of softer material to protect the laptop. Setting up with a variety of laptops took a matter of seconds; MacBook Pro, Macbook and a large Dell all relaxed into its welcoming arms. It may be that you are considering the Easy Rider to improve the ergonomics of your workspace. It certainly does that very well with the better viewing angle helping to avoid neck and back strain. It helps cooling too when undertaking processor intensive tasks. But don't forget, the Kensington Easy Rider will "cat-proof" your laptop- unless of course your cat is a Mountain Lion and likes climbing! Thank you Kensington for a quality product.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This laptop stand is sturdy and easy to adjust, and it instantly improved my posture while working. The SmartFit system makes it simple to find the right height, and it helps with airflow to keep my laptop cooler. Great for both home and office use!

This a nice little stand to elevate the Laptop screen for easier viewing. The stand has has 4 preset angles which will elevate the screen at different heights depending on the angle of the stand. There is a knob to tighten the frame to the desired angle. just make sure you do tighten it and not be fooled by the locating notches to secure the position. I ignored the "Smart fit" recommendations because there are too many other variable which come together to determine the appropriate angle and height of the laptop screen. desk height, laptop size, seating position torso length and so on. the construction of the stand is well thought out although not necessarily suited to all laptops. on the plus side; The unit folds flat for easy storage and transportation. When in use the stand has little rubberized feet to aid stability. There are rubberized inlays on the main support surface and a rubberized lip at the base of the stand to reduce the risk of your precious laptop sliding off. These work up to a point. Due to the curve and diminishing surface area of the lip and depending on the front edge profile of your laptop. There may not be a substantial amount of contact area between the lip and the laptop edge. a slight knock of the desk or the laptop could jog it loose from the stand which may lead to some expensive repairs. Does it matter what it looks Like? No when in use you don't see it and you just care that it functions reliably. Overall: a good product but just make sure it is a good fit for both you and your laptop.

I have tried a good few laptop risers/stands, but this is by far the best I've had. All the others had adjustable height fittings, but could just never get me the exact height I wanted. I was forever getting a sore neck & back from leaning/hunching over my laptop and I couldn't stand it any more. So I decided to browse Amazon and see what I could find. This stand has the benefits of being adjustable in height from quite low, to really quite high. It also has, as you can see from the pictures, little cut out sections to allow air to circulate around the bottom of your laptop and thus by enabling your laptop to stay cooler and avoid it overheating. It comes with instructions on how to adjust the height, and what heights are suitable for whichever situation you may be in. However I just picked the height I found the most comfortable for me. After all, each person is different and we all have our own individual likes & dislikes, so why should adjusting the height of the stand always be set to whatever the manufacturer thinkss is most suitable. Just adjust it to suit yourself and if it doesn't feel right after trying it for a while, there's absolutely nothing to stop you readjusting it. Is there? It's quite sturdy once set to your chosen height, but to be on the safe side, just make sure if you're using it on a slippery/shiny surface to have a mat or something under it to stop the stand from slipping. The stand has little rubber pads on the front feet which hold it steady enough, but the rubber strip on the back underneath side of the stand isn't so great and the stand will tend to slip if it isn't placed on a mat of some sort. So to sum up, I like this stand and the price is acceptable.

Is a good stand that is easily adjustable. It is compact enough to store away and its is strong. You can have the laptop at different levels all depending on why you like. I bought 2 of them and am happy with this purchase.

I ordered this product when the lockdown began as I, like so many others, am required to work from home as much as possible. So I trundled home with my laptop and set myself up on my desk, which is tiny and immediately realised that if this was to be my work station for the foreseeable future then I needed to do something about the height and angle of my laptop. I have a normal keyboard plugged in so it made sense for me to purchase a stand that placed the keyboard at an angle as the screen can be tilted to any angle. This stand arrived in excellent time and straight out of the box was as simple as opening the laptop itself. I set it to the recommended position using my hand size as per the instructions and that was that. Popped my computer on it and away I went. It holds my laptop securely and I am able to angle the screen so I'm not looking up or down and thus avoiding the inevitable neck and back aches that poor positioning can cause. In my opinion this product represents excellent value for money. The stand is sturdy, well made, easy to use and robust. Highly recommended.

This is a sturdy and very easy to adjust laptop stand. I'm giving it five stars despite having to return it due to unfortunately finding it difficult to focus on my laptop screen because of my varifocal glasses. This wasn't the fault of the stand.

This is a handy piece of kit if your neck and back are beginning to cause you some pain. It helps you look up and sit up straight which naturally takes some of that pain away. A little pamphlet opens up inside telling you how high you should have it set based on your hand size - make what you will of that, I just use the setting that feels most comfortable to me. The reason for it losing 1 star is for 2 things: 1. The mechanism used for tightening the hinge up just seems to have the potential to break. I have no idea what it is, seems like some sort of spring mechanism, but because I have to tighten it up pretty tight to cope with the weight of my laptop (I have a 17" screen) it makes think that if I have to repeat this process a number of times (say if I was to move it around in a laptop case) it might break. This sounds a bit trivial, but just something to think about. Luckily I stay in one place so I've not had to do that much, and it's held in place well for few months now. 2. The bottom edge of my laptop is half curved and half square (i.e. if my laptop thickness is 150 mm, 75 mm is a curve and 75 mm is flat) which means there's not a great deal in contact with the bottom lip of the bracket which supports the weight of the laptop. This means that if the laptop or bracket is nudged a little, the laptop slides straight off the bracket which could cause damage to something. This is the main reason I gave it 1 less star. Overall I'm very glad I bought it and would recommend it for the 11 pounds I paid. Unfortunately I can't compare it against anything else as I've not really bought anything else like this. The main reason I bought it is because I am doing a lot of computer programming and coding as part of my masters course so I tend to spend a lot of time at my laptop. Naturally your body is strained when doing activities like this, but this Kensington laptop stand has helped to alleviate some of this strain.

Me encanta este atril para el portátil. Lo eleva justo lo necesario, lo he probado tanto con PC como con MAC y aguanta perfecto el peso del portátil sin parecer endeble ni sin tambalearse. Está hecho de plástico pero es robusto, y además este material le da la cualidad de ser ligero. Por su construcción es plegable, de una manera rápida, ya que tiene una rueda a modo de tuerca, con la que puedes aflojar y apretar la bisagra de giro del soporte. Dispone de soporte de goma por la parte inferior para que no se mueva en la mesa, así como también en la parte superior donde descansa el portátil. La parte inferior del soporte en forma de "L" ayuda a que el portatil no resbale de él y está recubierta también de goma. Además en la parte central es de forma curva y hacia abajo, lo que te da hueco para facilitar la apertura y cierre del portátil sin tener que quitarlo del soporte. Yo tengo dos de ellos, uno en casa y otro en el trabajo y para mi es la relación perfecta calidad-precio.

Görseldeki ile aynı ürün geldi. Kullanışlı olduğundan 10 tane satın aldım ve hızlı teslim edildi.

L'ho preso per evitare il male al collo che mi viene a stare sempre chino sul portatile. La postura è decisamente migliorata e la posizione di lavoro non crea più problemi. Pensavo di no, invece è anche comodo per scrivere! Il prodotto è stabile, pratico, leggero. Lo consiglio.

Perfekt ställ för datorn och prisvärt

A altura regulável e a tranquilidade em trabalhar são excelentes pois o equipamento fica firme e estável no local. O sistema que gira para prender na altura poderia ser melhorado. E como já tinha lido em outros comentários antes de comprar este suporte, o suporte ocupa um espaço considerável na parte traseira dependendo da inclinação, então para mesas estreitas deve ser verificado antes de comprar.
