Laptop Cooling Stand

We have a number of laptops in our home and required a solution to an unusual problem! We have a cat .... well you know that should read "the cat chose us as her staff". Like all cats she likes comfort so needs to find some warm place to snooze and do whatever it is that cats do when pretending to be asleep.Our astute lady cat chose our laptops. They are warm enough to balance out the slight inconvenience of a lumpy keyboard, but then that tends to mould to the body shape a bit. Turn our backs for 10 seconds and she was there, causing havoc with part completed emails, printing processes and anything that would respond in some awful way to random key presses.Experiments with an ever so cheap and flimsy angle stand revealed that a medium angle of incline would be enough for her to slide off and understand that clinging on was not worth the effort. She never went near it again. Family score 1, cat zero!Now to replace that flimsy stand with quality. I know Kensington having used their excellent laptop security products so took a look at the Easy Riser. The Amazon reviews that mentioned the strong plastic used in manufacture clinched it, I paid the very reasonable price and within a few days I was admiring the tough build, simple construction with a minimum of parts and the generous use of softer material to protect the laptop.Setting up with a variety of laptops took a matter of seconds; MacBook Pro, Macbook and a large Dell all relaxed into its welcoming arms.It may be that you are considering the Easy Rider to improve the ergonomics of your workspace. It certainly does that very well with the better viewing angle helping to avoid neck and back strain. It helps cooling too when undertaking processor intensive tasks.But don't forget, the Kensington Easy Rider will "cat-proof" your laptop- unless of course your cat is a Mountain Lion and likes climbing!Thank you Kensington for a quality product.

I purchased the `Kensington Easer Riser' after looking at the various options on the market having suffered constant neck & shoulder ache after several years of laptop use.This product is foldable (so will fit in most laptop bags), is sturdy and is an open frame box design which leaves room for the fan to work properly (especially) if your fan is situated under your laptop (this will stop your processor overheating, speed up your machine and prolong its life!)The riser has good rubber feet, rubber support (to sit your laptop on) and a rubberised lip at the front to stop your laptop falling off!A supplied instruction sheet gives indications of how high to set the riser.GOOD Design Points:-- The Lip at the front is lower in the middle (allowing for plugs to be attached to the front of your laptop for headphones etc)- There is a `twist knob' at the right hand side of the unit to lock into place the riser into one of 4 height settings:- 4.5", 6", 7" and 7.75".- Good access for under laptop fans- a SIMPLE screw knob at the right hand side to adjust the height settingsPOINTS to NOTE:-The first height setting of 4.5" is `quite high' - your laptop Lid will need to open 135 degrees (halfway between upright and fully flat open) for this first setting. The higher setting will require the lid to be opened progressively wider - towards opening flat for the highest setting. My Laptop (an HP) only opens wide enough to use the 1st height setting - but this is more than adequate for me. Also bear in mind that your keyboard will become quite upright on the highest settings.Overall, a great product - well worth your consideration!

💻 As a remote worker who spends a significant portion of my day in front of a laptop, finding the right ergonomic solution has been a top priority. The Kensington SmartFit Easy Riser Laptop Stand immediately caught my attention with its promise of improved posture, reduced neck and back pain, and enhanced eye comfort.👍 The first thing that impressed me about this stand is its adjustability. The SmartFit system allows me to easily dial in my ideal ergonomic height setting using the color-coded fitting chart, with up to a 50-degree tilt angle for optimal viewing. This customization is a game-changer, as it helps me achieve the perfect ergonomic position for my specific needs and work setup.🧠 Another key feature is the stand's ability to improve air circulation and keep my laptop cooler. By lifting the device off the desktop, it helps dissipate heat buildup, reducing strain on the battery and internal components. This is especially beneficial during prolonged use or when working in warmer environments.👨‍💻 The portability of the Easy Riser is also a major plus. Its lightweight yet durable construction, combined with the ability to fold flat, make it an excellent choice for mobile workers and frequent travelers. I can easily pack it in my bag and set it up at any location, ensuring consistent ergonomic support wherever I go.🤔 While the stand is compatible with a wide range of laptops, from 12" to 17", I do wish it could accommodate even larger devices. Additionally, the requirement to use an external keyboard and mouse (sold separately) may be an additional investment for some users.🌟 Overall, the Kensington SmartFit Easy Riser Laptop Stand has been a game-changer for my workspace. The combination of adjustability, cooling capabilities, and portability make it a must-have for anyone seeking to improve their ergonomic setup and reduce the risk of discomfort during prolonged laptop use. 💻

Is a good stand that is easily adjustable.It is compact enough to store away and its is strong. You can have the laptop at different levels all depending on why you like. I bought 2 of them and am happy with this purchase.

I have tried a good few laptop risers/stands, but this is by far the best I've had.All the others had adjustable height fittings, but could just never get me the exact height I wanted.I was forever getting a sore neck & back from leaning/hunching over my laptop and I couldn't stand it any more.So I decided to browse Amazon and see what I could find.This stand has the benefits of being adjustable in height from quite low, to really quite high.It also has, as you can see from the pictures, little cut out sections to allow air to circulate around the bottom of your laptop and thus by enabling your laptop to stay cooler and avoid it overheating.It comes with instructions on how to adjust the height, and what heights are suitable for whichever situation you may be in. However I just picked the height I found the most comfortable for me. After all, each person is different and we all have our own individual likes & dislikes, so why should adjusting the height of the stand always be set to whatever the manufacturer thinkss is most suitable. Just adjust it to suit yourself and if it doesn't feel right after trying it for a while, there's absolutely nothing to stop you readjusting it. Is there?It's quite sturdy once set to your chosen height, but to be on the safe side, just make sure if you're using it on a slippery/shiny surface to have a mat or something under it to stop the stand from slipping. The stand has little rubber pads on the front feet which hold it steady enough, but the rubber strip on the back underneath side of the stand isn't so great and the stand will tend to slip if it isn't placed on a mat of some sort.So to sum up, I like this stand and the price is acceptable.

I looked through all the reviews and this seemed to be get all round good reviews.I'm a translation student so spend all day on my laptop.This is why I would recommend it:- VERY stable (no need to use a separate keyboard)- great size (I have a macbook standard, 13inch screen. The mac book has about 2cm overhang on each side of the holder, so it fits nicely and is well balanced)- the holder height can be altered to correspond to your desk height, your own height etc (so you can literally have it at any slant you like)- it fold down flat so you can easily carry it with you to the library/work on trips etc- very light weight frame- the frame that it sits on has a cut out - ie does not sit on a plastic platform. this is great for helping the laptop to 'breathe' or cool down- and of course the price!so don't waste your money on more expensive ones. this is fantastic. I was initially wary because it was plastic and cheap but it is worth every penny! In fact the sides have a nice feel to it, which helps to hold the laptop in place so it doesn't have a cheap plastic-y look/feelHope this helps!:-)

I ordered this product when the lockdown began as I, like so many others, am required to work from home as much as possible. So I trundled home with my laptop and set myself up on my desk, which is tiny and immediately realised that if this was to be my work station for the foreseeable future then I needed to do something about the height and angle of my laptop. I have a normal keyboard plugged in so it made sense for me to purchase a stand that placed the keyboard at an angle as the screen can be tilted to any angle.This stand arrived in excellent time and straight out of the box was as simple as opening the laptop itself. I set it to the recommended position using my hand size as per the instructions and that was that. Popped my computer on it and away I went. It holds my laptop securely and I am able to angle the screen so I'm not looking up or down and thus avoiding the inevitable neck and back aches that poor positioning can cause. In my opinion this product represents excellent value for money. The stand is sturdy, well made, easy to use and robust. Highly recommended.

This is a handy piece of kit if your neck and back are beginning to cause you some pain. It helps you look up and sit up straight which naturally takes some of that pain away. A little pamphlet opens up inside telling you how high you should have it set based on your hand size - make what you will of that, I just use the setting that feels most comfortable to me.The reason for it losing 1 star is for 2 things:1. The mechanism used for tightening the hinge up just seems to have the potential to break. I have no idea what it is, seems like some sort of spring mechanism, but because I have to tighten it up pretty tight to cope with the weight of my laptop (I have a 17" screen) it makes think that if I have to repeat this process a number of times (say if I was to move it around in a laptop case) it might break. This sounds a bit trivial, but just something to think about. Luckily I stay in one place so I've not had to do that much, and it's held in place well for few months now.2. The bottom edge of my laptop is half curved and half square (i.e. if my laptop thickness is 150 mm, 75 mm is a curve and 75 mm is flat) which means there's not a great deal in contact with the bottom lip of the bracket which supports the weight of the laptop. This means that if the laptop or bracket is nudged a little, the laptop slides straight off the bracket which could cause damage to something. This is the main reason I gave it 1 less star.Overall I'm very glad I bought it and would recommend it for the 11 pounds I paid. Unfortunately I can't compare it against anything else as I've not really bought anything else like this. The main reason I bought it is because I am doing a lot of computer programming and coding as part of my masters course so I tend to spend a lot of time at my laptop. Naturally your body is strained when doing activities like this, but this Kensington laptop stand has helped to alleviate some of this strain.

Me encanta este atril para el portátil. Lo eleva justo lo necesario, lo he probado tanto con PC como con MAC y aguanta perfecto el peso del portátil sin parecer endeble ni sin tambalearse.Está hecho de plástico pero es robusto, y además este material le da la cualidad de ser ligero. Por su construcción es plegable, de una manera rápida, ya que tiene una rueda a modo de tuerca, con la que puedes aflojar y apretar la bisagra de giro del soporte.Dispone de soporte de goma por la parte inferior para que no se mueva en la mesa, así como también en la parte superior donde descansa el portátil. La parte inferior del soporte en forma de "L" ayuda a que el portatil no resbale de él y está recubierta también de goma. Además en la parte central es de forma curva y hacia abajo, lo que te da hueco para facilitar la apertura y cierre del portátil sin tener que quitarlo del soporte.Yo tengo dos de ellos, uno en casa y otro en el trabajo y para mi es la relación perfecta calidad-precio.

Görseldeki ile aynı ürün geldi. Kullanışlı olduğundan 10 tane satın aldım ve hızlı teslim edildi.

L'ho preso per evitare il male al collo che mi viene a stare sempre chino sul portatile. La postura è decisamente migliorata e la posizione di lavoro non crea più problemi. Pensavo di no, invece è anche comodo per scrivere! Il prodotto è stabile, pratico, leggero. Lo consiglio.

Perfekt ställ för datorn och prisvärt

A altura regulável e a tranquilidade em trabalhar são excelentes pois o equipamento fica firme e estável no local.O sistema que gira para prender na altura poderia ser melhorado.E como já tinha lido em outros comentários antes de comprar este suporte, o suporte ocupa um espaço considerável na parte traseira dependendo da inclinação, então para mesas estreitas deve ser verificado antes de comprar.
