Twelve South Curve for MacBooks and Laptops | Ergonomic desktop cooling stand for home or office (matte black)

Sturdy. Beautifully designed. Functional. This item is for when you need to raise your laptop on your desk to allow for adequate ventilation and to align your screen with an external monitor. It should be used with a wireless or wired trackpad and keyboard as it is not ergonomically designed for typing on the laptop keys.I needed a way to raise my MacBook Pro 16" on my desk so it would be properly ventilated. This item was the perfect solution. It raised the MacBook Pro laptop to a height that complemented my 29" monitor. I can still use the laptop's trackpad and keyboard while it is on the stand (but not for extended periods), but it works best with my Magic Trackpad and wireless keyboard. It's a perfect and simple design that solves a problem. I'm buying a second stand for another location.

I am not sure what to say about this piece since it is just a single piece of (plastic?) that sits on my desk and holds my laptop at what seems to be a much better angle than having the laptop sit flat. Gravity holds the laptop securely in place and it is no problem to take the laptop off the stand -- it takes longer to disconnect the cables I have attached. I appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of the design.I have a standing desk and my arrangement is a laptop on the left with a monitor on the right and an external keyboard + trackpad on the lower level. This stand holds my open laptop at a height and an angle that matches that of the other monitor, which is supposed to decrease strain and prevent the need for you to constantly look "down" at the laptop screen.It is nice in that it raises my laptop off the desk a bit and allows me to use the space under the laptop for storage if I need it.For what it is worth, you don't really need this if you keep your laptop closed and just use the external display. Also, it would be difficult to use the keyboard and trackpad/touchpad on an open laptop if it were on this stand, so you really need to have the correct setup for this to be useful to you.

Perfect laptop stand for my MacBook! Looks sleek, durable and takes up minimal space. I've ordered 3 of them now!One for myself.One for my mom, who kept her warm laptop on top of books and boxes, and it drove me nuts and could be a fire hazard.One as a gift for my friend who really admired mine and enjoyed using it when I brought it to the office.

This stand is definitely stylish, and also very sturdy. I wish all laptop stands were this nice and simple. It is very solidly constructed of a single piece. My only issue is that unfortunately, the shape of my Alienware Area 51m did not quite work out for this stand. This is not an issue with the stand, but with the fact that the front of my laptop has an angle to it that causes it to not rest against the front stops of the stand. The angle of the front of the laptop causes it to only touch the very top of the front stops and slide right up and over it.With that said, the stand itself is great and if not for the shape of my laptop would have been a nice centerpiece to my setup. 5 stars based purely on the stand itself including its construction and visual appeal.

Holds my full-size Lenovo laptop no sweat. A must have for a workstation or gaming locale based around a laptop.A tad shaky for the laptop keyboard use.

I purchased this laptop stand to raise my 14" MacBook Pro M3 off of my desk and position it more in-line with my monitor. It does the job well. The stand is sturdy enough to prevent it from vibrating or moving when working at my desk, or moving things around, however there is a small amount of flex and vibration when typing on the MacBook itself while positioned on the stand. I'm giving the Twelve South Curve 4 stars because extreme care must be taken when opening my MacBook on this stand. Due to the strength of the MacBook hinge, it's possible to accidentally pull the laptop off the stand when opening the display, which I've done a couple times. The black finish is very nice, and the anti-slip silicon pads prevent my MacBook from being scratched while positioned on the stand. This is a high-quality stand with one caveat that I can tolerate.

Looks great in my office

I just couldn't be happier with the build quality, finish and overall design. It fits my MacBook Pro (SpaceGray) perfectly and compliments the color :)
