Amazon Basics Sturdy and Portable Ergonomic Laptop Stand for Desk, Height Adjustable Riser with Ventilated Cooling, Foldable, Fits all Laptops up to 15.6 Inch, Silver

I really like this laptop stand! It is sturdy, easy to adjust, and keeps my laptop at a comfortable height while I work. I also like that it is portable and doesn’t take up much space on my desk. It helps make my workspace more comfortable and organized. Great quality for the price!

I picked up this Amazon Basics ergonomic laptop stand to improve my desk setup, and it’s been a solid upgrade. I spend a lot of time on my laptop, so I wanted something that would raise the screen and help with posture.

The stand is sturdy and holds the laptop securely, even when typing. It fits larger laptops (up to around 17 inches), which makes it versatile for different devices.

What I like most is the adjustable height. It lets you bring the screen closer to eye level, which helps reduce neck strain during longer sessions. Experts often recommend using a stand like this to improve posture when working on a laptop.

It’s also lightweight and portable, so it’s easy to move between rooms or take with you if needed.

Overall, it’s a simple but effective accessory if you want a more comfortable and ergonomic workspace without spending a lot.

I got this to make a work setup for my 16" MacBook Pro. The screen on the laptop is big, but when I use it as a desktop it sits too low. I have a second monitor, and with this stand the two sit side-by-side making it much more useful. Clearly, in this setup you need to have a desktop keyboard and mouse, but I do. I have a dock, and all the desktop components, and with this stand I can really feel that the laptop is just another desktop. This makes for working at home much nicer, but still allows me to unplug and take the laptop on the road. Before this I simply used the external monitor, and kept the laptop closed. This is a problem with the fingerprint sensor in the laptop, and wastes the beautiful screen that comes on the MacBook Pro. So, this simple stand enabled me to use the laptop as a second monitor, lifts it up so that it gets better airflow underneath and as a result it keeps it cooler (this is not really a problem on a MacBook anyway, but still nice). With this stand I can't remember a time that the fan actually turned on while I was working. Can anyone with an Intel PC say that, I don't think so. ;). But, this would keep the intel heaters running just a bit cooler as the underside airflow would be unrestricted.

A few notes, it is really stiff, this is good because you want it to maintain its position. But, you have to apply some pressure to move it to the setting you want, this is normal. You basically set it and forget it. If you want an easily adjustable stand, this is probably not the right one for you. There is no way to make it easy to adjust. No screw to tighten or loosen for ease of movement. It is just sturdy and stiff at all times. For a set and forget setup it is really perfect, however.

I love it! No real assembly, just stick into base. Lots of light and riser adjustability. Sturdy, won't flip over.

Decent stand that folds flat, but is too bouncy for typing. If all you need is mousing and use an external keyboard, then this stand is perfect. But if you try to type on it, it is way too bouncy.

Perfect laptop stand. Love the range. Sometimes I work seated, other times standing. So easy to adjust for the perfect angle. Very sturdy, no fear of the laptop falling off. Does not slip around if I'm typing on the laptop.

My Framework 16 laptop is the heaviest beast of a computer I've ever owned: solid metal casing, dedicated GPU, probably heavier than some desktops. It's an amazing machine, but it has a known flaw: it gets unbearably hot and you genuinely cannot use it in your lap. This stand solves the problem by keeping the base raised for airflow; the aluminum also channels heat away. The listing says "sturdy" and it means it: the metal is thick, the silicone pads grip fast, and the hinges are actually difficult to move—which is a good thing because it means the stand won't accidentally shift under a heavy load. Even at 16 inches, this little stand holds the computer securely. The base is nonslip and won't knock around on whatever table you place it on. The range of angles is impressive when most stands give you preset options and tell you to deal with it. The laptop really does run noticeably cooler elevated. I'm rough on accessories and this one is proving durable under real use. For anyone with a heavy laptop that runs hot, this absolutely transforms usability.

Got a couple of rectangular adhesive pads 1¼" x ¾" and 2mm thick.

With the tablet set in Landscape position, I checked where the camera sat and placed them on left & right sides of the stand, just below where the camera sits. Now the tablet sits just fine and the camera doesn't touch the stand anymore.

Easy Fix and no need to drill a hole for the camera

Original Review:

Recently ordered a new tablet for my wife as her old one was out dated from 2016 and Amazon Kindle dropped support for for the Android Kindle app version 8.131 or earlier.

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite from Amazon. Then a few days later, I ordered this stand for my wife's tablet after having seen these ones at a local dealership while having my car serviced.

When the stand came in, I checked it out and set it up for her. The stand was packaged very well. There was no need to assemble anything thankfully. When I went to adjust it I noticed the the hinges were overly tight as if they had been tightened too much. Was able to get it adjusted to a position my wife would like for reading Kindle or just surfing.

The tablet fits on the stand just fine. But there is a minor problem.When the tablet is set on the stand in Landscape position, there is no pads on the left & right sides to keep the camera off the metal of the stand.

When you set the tablet in Portrait position, the camera clears the top of the stand.

This is a very nice stand and you don't have to worry about it closing up or changing angle while using.

I suppose if I can get a couple more pads such as what's on the stand, I could place them on both sides of the stand, below the camera. Either that, or drill a hole for the camera about 2 or 3 millimeters wider than the camera and smooth the edges.

Not only can this stand be used for my wife's Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite, but it can be used for other tablets or even for reading books.

To take the pictures without anything else being in the picture, I had to set it on our stove. Two pictures included.
