   This is a gorgeous, space saving laptop stand. I do like it, but NOT for the machine I intended. The description says any laptop over 10″ – but I would not recommend it for 17″ machines. The width on this stand is fixed – not adjustable. We are now using it for my small 13″ machine. Originally, we intended to use it for our 17″ laptop, but it really isn’t deep enough to support the machine – nor wide enough – very precarious. Much of the weight in our 17″ resides in the back. With the front clips installed on the stand, the back of the laptop hangs over the back edge and teeters off. I would not feel comfortable using this without front clips.

   Fantastic stand, but I wouldn’t recommend it for any laptop over 15″

   Otherwise, the quality is fantastic, as is the case with most Griffin products.

   Amazon is fantastic – quick shipping and I strongly recommend Prime.

   This review is from: Griffin Technology GC16034 Elevator Laptop Stand (Personal Computers)

   I was looking for a laptop stand that allowed me to use my laptop as a desktop replacement. This stand is simple, nice looking, functional and contrary to a review I read, stable. I suppose, there might be a laptop with a super slippery bottom that might allow the laptop to fall if it is bumped by accident, but honestly it is hard for me to envision any laptop falling or sliding off the stand on it’s own. I am currently using the stand with my Sony Vaio 15.6″ laptop. In any case, let me return to my review:
   1. The stand lifts the laptop monitor up to a height that is the perfect height for me.. the top of the monitor is just below eye level.
   2. The design of the stand allows it to not have any side rails so that any keyboard, no matter what size, can be stored under the laptop freeing up the maximum desk space when the laptop is not in use.
   3. The stand is very sturdy and stable. The stand has a very slight angle forward to counter-balance the monitor screen and expose the laptop keyboard to the user. The high quality rubber on the solid metal bracing provides a sturdy and stable base for the laptop. As I stated earlier, I can’t imagine this falling or slipping off the stand unless the table is not stable or if it is accidentally knocked off or yanked off by a cable, but this is right of most stands. There are plastic small tabs that stick up on the front of the stands for a super slippery laptop with a near zero frictional coefficient.
   4. The laptop stand looks cool. The laptop floats in the air. I have a cable that connects to the second monitor and a USB cable for additional storage, but other than that the stand, laptop, second monitor, wireless keyboard, and wireless mouse make a very functional, cool looking, and clean desktop.
   I shopped for a long time for this stand and am very pleased with it. Oh, the amazon price was substantially lower than what I saw this stand for elsewhere (or even with other vendors on Amazon.)
   I hope this is helpful.

   Loses grip after a few years and becomes a danger to your laptop, March 15, 2011

   I’ve owned this for 4 years, and for the most part it’s been fantastic. I logged on today to replace it. My MB Pro 13 inch has fallen off 4 or 5 times now when I’ve walked away from my desk. The most recent time it fell onto a concrete floor. At that point I chose it’s worth it to replace this stand with the M-stand which has a lip to prevent your machine sliding down. It’s served me well, but that costly flaw means it’s not worth keeping.
