Laptop Stand, Silver, mini

Carbon steel, not aluminum — heavier than it strictly needs to be, which is exactly why a laptop dropped into it does not rock. Rest it somewhere level and it stays there.

The slot widens by twisting a single screw, covering thicknesses from 0.55 to 1.81 inches. That range reaches MacBook Air and Pro, the Mac Mini series, HP Notebook, Dell Chromebook, and ThinkPad machines as large as 17.3 inches.

Silicone lines the inside of the slot and pads the underside, so neither the laptop finish nor the desk picks up marks.

Held upright, the machine occupies a fraction of the room it would lying flat — worth the trade when a monitor and keyboard already own the desk.
