BoYata Laptop Stand, Adjustable Multi-Angle Laptop Holder, Compatible for Laptops up to 17 inches, Sturdy Aluminum & Silicone, Silver

Perfect for artists/designers for iPad and laptop use
As a designer/artist, I’m always looking for the-right-for-me tech to make things a heckuva lot easier but tech that also encourages better use habits 🙂 I particularly wanted a stand that would work for both active iPad use – something comfortable enough to use for drawing for long periods – and something that would support a larger 17” laptop when necessary. This stand is perfect. It holds my laptop really well and allows room underneath to put a keyboard. It has good height adjustment. It’s incredibly sturdy – quite heavy in fact – but that’s exactly what I need for the tech I use. I’ve tried plastic stands and they don’t work well for me. The joints on this stand move smoothly but they do take effort/pressure to alter – I would say they are stiff. Some might be out off by that but it’s important to me: I don’t want the angle slowly changing because I’m leaning to hard on my iPad for 2 hours! There are multiple angles you can choose easily and it’s well made and looks great. If you are a designer or an artist looking for a stand you can keep at your desk and use daily for long periods, this is a great choice. You could take it places if you have to … but it’s weighty… so probably not something I’ll be doing. It’s great for light/reg iPad use too: the cord tucks out of the way nicely so it’s great for kitchen use (recipe viewing etc.) – basically any desk/countertop use. Happy customer. It arrived very quickly, packaged well… no damage whatsoever. Highly recommend.

Better than I hoped for
I’ve been hesitant about getting laptop stand because of complaints I’ve seen online and heard from coworkers about instability, leading to the screen shaking. I’m a fairly aggressive typist so this was a major concern of mine. After a lot of delaying, I decided to give this stand a shot and I’m so glad I did!Some stands swivel, which is something I absolutely didn’t want. I work on a dual 27″ monitor display, with my 15″ MacBook Pro as a third screen for apps I need less screen real estate for. I wanted something that would elevate my MBP screen even with the top of my other monitors while offering stability. This fits the bill perfectly! I no longer have to look side-to-side for my “primary” displays but then look down to see my laptop screen.To make things even nicer, the dual adjustment of this stand allowed me to elevate my laptop but also tilt it to the point of the keyboard/touchbar/trackpad are at about a 45 degree angle – much easier to access, and I find myself actually using the touchbar now instead of either programming hardware or seeking software solutions to create macros that do the same thing.The build quality has impressed me, and even with multiple hinges the stand is solid enough that I can tap the stand or even type on my laptop with no shaking. That said, it is really stiff to get into position, but by no means a struggle like I was expecting based on some other reviews and honestly that’s to be expected if you want a really stable stand. Still, if you have a use case where you’d be adjusting the angle on a regular basis, this is something worth considering. The non-slide silicone areas are perfect, and I feel very confident in my machine staying put on the stand.My only complaint isn’t actually to do with the stand. My displays are USB-C, and can’t daisy chain. So to power them, each has to plug into its own port on my laptop. This connection keeps me from being able to pull my laptop forward far enough to have the screen perfectly flush with my display – not a problem at all since it’s only set back about 2″ and completely unblocked and visible. Just an observation that irritates my OCD tendencies a bit!All told, I’m thrilled with the stand and I’ve been kicking myself for not getting one sooner! If you’re in the market, I know this is a touch pricier than similar models and I can’t speak to the quality of them, but I can strongly recommend this one!

This is a great stand for the laptop. I’m using it every day. Very sturdy and looking great

There are three reasons I love this.1. The stand raises my laptop screen to eye level. This dramaticallly reduces my neck strain and eliminates the pain I used to feel when working for long times on the laptop.2. I teach, and in that role, I often meet with my students in teams using Zoom. The stand raises the camera, which iis at the top of the screen, to eye level. The students are no longer looking at my double chin, which is what they saw when the laptop was flat on the table.3. My laptop sometimes gets really hot, and the heat is blown to the bottom, causing the table to get hot. This cannot be good for the laptop. The stand allows the heat to exit the laptop, keeping it much cooler.This is a nice looking and well-made stand. I love it.
