Lapworks Aluminum Desktop StandThe Lapworks Aluminum Desktop Stand takes up minimal room on your desk, improves screen viewing and ergonomics all while keeping your laptop cool. Made of heat dissipating aluminum, the stand also comes with no-slip rubber pads to protect and ventilate your laptop. There's a turntable at the bottom, enabling the stand to spin all the way around so you can easily adjust your position or share what's on the screen with others.

The stand has six adjustable positions. The lower three give you better ergonomics while using your notebook's own keyboard; the upper three raise the screen higher so you don't have to slouch to read it. The higher levels are meant for use with a separate keyboard. (See images of the stand at different heights after the jump.)

I really liked using this stand--it was easy to adjust, and having six height levels to choose from meant I could always find a comfortable position. It's super lightweight, making it easy to tote around, yet also sturdy. Not only did I find it convenient for everyday work on my laptop, but it was much more comfortable to watch movies on the screen.

The brushed aluminum stand is great looking and easily collapses into a tiny package that you can slip into the included protective sleeve. The whole thing could easily fit into most laptop cases right alongside your notebook. The Lapworks Aluminum Desktop Stand is available at an introductory price of $59.95 until May 31 (It will sell for $69.95 after that).

Truly a nice item but must concur with Chris, wouldn't pay more than $20 for this item, way too pricy.
