LIFE & NECK SAVER! You CAN'T GO WRONG buying this one!!
This laptop stand is PERFECT! I spent many years with a headache & pains in my neck from using my laptop. I don't even know how I found this stand, but after careful research, I bought it. And oh my!! If only I'd had one back in '02, my doctor bills would have been close to nil. I can now use my laptop in any room.. at any table (even the coffee table in front of my couch.. with NO pain!It's sturdy as heck & adjustable into many positions! You have to use a little strength to adjust it, but I'm a 67 year old woman who had a stroke that did a job on my right side. My right hand & arm are weaker than they used to be & of course I'm right-handed. But reaching through the middle, I grip the back of the base with my right hand, & use the top of my forearm to push up to open it more, & pretty much the opposite to close it. The "closing" explanation is a little iffy.. you kind of just have to study it first & decide which way is best for you.The sturdiness of the joints definitely feels like it will take what could be years of adjusting to make it loosen up (which is really the way you want it to be). It looks like the only way it could become a little shaky is if you have the stand wide open then push the monitor open all the way. BUT- I set a heavy seashell on the base to remove any possible wobble. My stand is sitting as tall as it will go right now & my monitor is set as far back as possible - I'M TYPING ON IT RIGHT NOW and it's absolutely fine!PLEASE DON'T let this influence your decision on buying! My set-up is unusual, & is just my preference ... most people will not have the stand & laptop set wide open anyway. But if you do, just place something with a little weight to it on the base.Some people have asked about the prongs getting in the way of comfortable typing. The bottom half of my comp is 9/16" and the prongs stand just the *smallest* bit above it. I set my metal ruler down flat on my comp, & the difference isn't even enough to keep the ruler on board. It slides right off. The prongs make no difference to me while typing.. most times my wrists set just outside the prongs - but that's me.Your laptop will NOT slide off - there is a rubbery substance on the stand surface (and on the inside of the prongs!) which stop things from moving. You have to raise the comp straight up to remove it - it just will NOT slide. Your laptop will also NOT overheat while sitting on this stand. There are 5 good sized slots running across the 'bed' so that heat is allowed to dissipate. This, to me, is the definite BIG plus!The best part is I can now use my laptop in while in a sitting position or while laying down on my couch or bed - and be COMFORTABLE while doing so!! No eyestrain, neck ache or headache!!And with a little ingenuity, I found I can read books on my Kindle while my Kindle is sitting upright on this stand. A lot of people will laugh at this, but hey.. at least duck tape isn't involved. I inserted a wooden kabob stick into a 7/16" (OD) by 9" long thick rubber straw - the kind you get with re-usable jumbo size plastic glasses - taped the ends closed, & set in on the 2 prongs that stop the computer from falling off the stand. My Kindle sits on top of this straw & is perfectly sturdy. I turn pages with a light finger-tap at the edge & have NO problem with it moving around. None! The rubber of the straw sticks to prongs & my Kindle & the kabob stick makes the straw sturdy. Nothing rolls. This is just to give an idea if someone wants to use both laptop and an e-reader on one piece of equipement. Am sure others can/will find some other kind of "something".... I just didn't have anything else to use. :)Bottom line is ... you won't go wrong buying this stand! It's great!! (The shipping by this seller was extremely fast, too!)Ver másVer menos
