(3 out of 5)Looks Great but WAY OVER PRICED
The stand is fantastic for my Dell Inspiron 17 inch laptop. Its stylish, slick, and does exactly what its suppose to do. So why the so/so review? I can't stand companies who charge exhorbant amounts of money for this type of stuff! I work in the plastics industry and I know how much these things cost so charging you $30 is way too much. The equation is simple Value = quality/price. The price for this is WAY too much. They know they can get away with it so they charge you $30 when something like this should cost no more then $15.
Its good, it does the job, but value wise it fails due to its very high price.
(5 out of 5)elegant
this product is beautiful, and elegant, and well made. The width does not span the entire width of my 17" laptop, but it feels secure much less, and allows the heat to escape underneath and at the back of the stand.
(5 out of 5)This is the one to choose ... seriously
I was concerned from the product photo that the Logitech Alto Express Notebook Stand wouldn't raise my notebook high enough, so I was tempted to go for one of the adjustable stands. I am very happy I chose the Logitech. The angle could not be more perfect, the manufacturer obviously knew exactly what was ergonomically correct when they designed the stand, the center of my screen is exactly in the middle of my field of view. When in use, the stand basically disappears. Despite a ridiculously high price for a piece of plastic, it does exactly what it should, so to me it was worth the price. The adjustable stands I've seen are fussy and wobbly. In particular, the xbrand has small wheels that could send the notebook flying off the edge of the desk if it is accidentally bumped. Almost every other brand raises the front edge too high. Some, like the xbrand have trap doors you have to open to access front-mounted controls. I think many manufacturers take a simple concept and try to complicate it. That is one thing no one will ever pin on Logitech! This stand is a totally simple design. My home office is probably a bit stylish but I absolutely need functionality ... I work at my computer 12 - 14 hours a day. I hated using my notebook before, now with an HP wireless keyboard and mouse and the Logitech Alto Express Notebook Stand I hardly know I'm not using my desktop PC. I think this notebook stand is the winning entry.
PROS: Perfect viewing angle, rock-solid support, looks beautiful
CONS: Hey, it's a three-dollar piece of plastic with an insane profit margin, but I'd rather pay more for something that is perfect than something that misses the mark.
(4 out of 5)A reasonable solution for most laptop users
I have tried 4 different solutions for laptop riser stands, and this one ends up being the one we use/like the most.
We have the alto keyboard stand and that was unusable straight out of the box, as the laptop would keep sliding off of it.
(3 out of 5)Pricey for a sheet of plastic
Don't get me wrong it works for its intended purpose, but looks like it is worth $5 to $10. If you have a front loading DVD/CD such as a Macbook Pro you had better look at another. The stand also moves easily on a smooth table top. This could cause problems. It's just pricey for what it is.
