BoYata Laptop Stand, Ergonomic Aluminum Height Adjustable Mount Computer Stand Riser for Desk Compatible MacBook Pro/Air, Surface, Samsung, Notebook Laptops (10-17'')(Silver)

I have been working from home the last few months due to the current pandemic. Initially I tried using my laptop on my desk and realised that was causing back ailments. I then improvised using a cookery book stand that i requisitioned from the kitchen: this was a lot better but still not the perfect height.So I did lots of research and saw that many stands looked flimsy, unaesthetic, and not sturdy. The Boyata that I ordered from Amazon arrived within two days: amazing speedy delivery. It's superb! It matches the look of my MacBook Air very well. It has great ventilation at the back to prevent overheating. It oozes sturdiness (you could use it as a weapon to knock someone out!) and looks good on the desk. The brand logo is etched on the front; some reviewers have complained about its prominence, but I"m led to wonder if they complain about an Apple logo; I have no problem with it, and maybe people just need to get over seeing a foreign sounding name on a product.But most importantly, it does what it is designed to do: to support a laptop at a designated height. As other reviewers have pointed out, the friction joints are stiff, but they need to be so that, once set to chosen height, there is no risk of accidental movement or sagging. One point to note as a result, and, again, others are right to point this out, is that once you have it set just leave it on the desk for the next time you use it; don't fold it away. It certainly CAN be folded away, but it's then going to take longer to unfold it and to re-locate your ideal position.Regarding ideal position of adjustment, I have found that the stand doesn't need to be anywhere as high as you initially might think. The bottom arm is bette placed as close to horizontal as possible for you; that way, there is no risk of the weight of your laptop tipping the stand over backwards.If you buy this stand, it comes with a card that allows you to register for an extra one year's warranty (making it two years in total), which is clearly a good thing. I am assuming that the manufacturer will support the item in all meaningful ways.Going forward, there are two things that the desingners might want to consider in tweaking the design. One is to maybe make the joints accessible by the user so that they can be tightened (if necessary) over the long term. The second, and one that I consider more important, is that I think the front edge should be an upwards ledge so that there is no risk of one's laptop ever sliding forward: this hasn't happened to me, but I can see that (if one were in a rush) it could: an upsweeping lip would prevent this. I hope this constructive feedback will be taken on board.Overall, I cannot think of a better laptop stand that I could have found to allow me to use my laptop on my desk., so I recommend this product without qualification.

I'm currently trying to get a set up so that I can use my elderly but upgraded and adequate laptop for general PC tasks rather than my desktop which is massively overpowered and wasteful of electricity for such things (although it does heat my office quite nicely!)I thought I may as well get a stand like this so that I could use both the laptop screen and my main monitor when needed and it puts the laptop screen at a much more neck friendly height. I use an external keyboard so this works.I liked that colours other than Apple silver were available since my laptop is grey. It's not a perfect match of course, but looks pretty OK.The stand is really well made (I'm an engineer by background and quite fussy). It's fairly simple cut and bent aluminium alloy, but the arms/struts are nicely milled. There are no sharp or rough edges and the paint finish is good with a very slight hammered look.Rubber pads are present on the main plate which goes underneath your laptop and on the lips which stick up at the front to hold it. Laptop goes on easily and feels very secure.I don't know what type of pivots they use on the arms/struts. I'm not going to be opening closing mine much so longevity of these is not a concern. They are very stiff which is perfect for my use, but not so great if you were planning to take this places with you a lot.Could do with the logo being less prominent , but that's about the only downside I can find.FWIW, I have also bought a powered USB hub (Sabrent) with loads of ports to attach all my peripherals and then I have two USB 3.0 cables. One for the laptop, one for the desktop, so it's easy to swap between the two and have all peripherals swapped from one PC to the other.

This is perfect for my laptop. Very stable, folds down flat and looks great on my desk.

The color choices, the design and ergonomic features are great, but a bit disappointed that it can't hold my OMEN gaming laptop which is roughly 3.5 kg. For something quite big as this stand I thought it's gonna hold it. Though with some weight balance it holds it in more of a 90 degree position, can't be opened more than that because the back of the laptop gonna press down the stand. If your laptop lighter than mine then go for it, because it's quite sturdy and for the price it's alright.

No problems, Item sturdy and does not move when being used which is daily. I have ordered 2 over a period of time and I still have them and use both. I have no problem in recommending. Delivery very prompt.

Great product and customer service, I find that its brilliantly stable, definitely worth spending the extra money!! many Thanks

Excellent laptop stand. Fully adjustable to a range of heights and viewing angles. If you are a student or WFH and suffer from neck pain, I highly recommend. It is a little stiff to adjust but you get the hang of it quickly. I previously had one from a different brand that fell apart in a few months, but so far so good with this one.

Strong and sturdy . Would highly recommend.Why did you choose this product over others?:Stability and doesn't tip over like other brands.
