This is a budget fold-flat laptop stand for people who move around: a plastic and silicone riser that lifts a laptop from about 7 cm to about 16.5 cm off the desk in seven steps, then collapses to roughly the size of a paperback and slips into the sleeve it comes with. It weighs around 260 g, so it lives in a laptop bag without being noticed.
Who it suits: anyone using a 10 to 15.6 inch laptop or a tablet at a kitchen table, a shared desk, a hot desk or a spare room, where a heavy fixed stand makes no sense. Raising the screen towards eye level cuts the downward neck bend you get from a flat laptop, though you will need a separate keyboard and mouse to benefit, because lifting the screen puts the keys too high to type on comfortably for long.
What it does not do: this is a light plastic stand, not an aluminium one. Reviewers who like it keep it on a stable desk and leave it alone. The legs feel a little loose until the laptop is sitting on it, a few people find a 15 inch laptop pushed far back can tip it slightly, and one reviewer saw the arms warp under a hot gaming laptop. It is not meant for 17 inch machines, heavy workstations or use on your lap or a bed. One reviewer also reported a leg pin breaking within a month, so treat it as a cheap, replaceable travel stand rather than a long-term desk fixture.
How it compares with the other laptop stands here: at under 10 pounds it sits at the budget end, below the all-metal Tonmom riser and the Babacom stand, which both cost more and feel sturdier on a permanent desk. Choose this one when weight and pack size matter most. Choose a metal riser if the stand never leaves your desk, or a monitor arm if you want the screen properly off the desk.
