Review on πŸ’» LENTION Aluminum Vertical Desktop Stand: Space-Saving Hub for MacBook Air / Pro, iPad Pro, Surface Book, Chromebook, and More (Silver) by Mike Wallace

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Difficult, pleasant. for laptop accessories

I can only think of two things. Things that I find delightful or things that are weirdly (or dangerously) bad. That's great. Lots of positives: My first concern was that it was going to be plastic, with a bit of metal so they could claim it was aluminum. nope! It's thick, heavy and beautiful. I've been known to buy expensive fashion accessories 🍎 from Native Union and Twelve South. (Don't judge me!) It's at least as beautiful. Good. And cheaper. There is a pad on the bottom which is not sticky at all so the stand is stationary but can also be moved. You can tape it down if you want, but I don't see the need for it. We use one for a 12.9-inch iPad Pro with a keyboard folio on it (although I think it will work without it). and another for the 13-inch MacBook Pro. I'm excited. Some had issues so the photos show how I set it up. Here are the details: The (nice) screws have small handles, so you don't need to use any tools. They're on the bottom, though, so you can't twist them with a laptop in the stand. So I turned it upside down by placing the laptop and stand on top of it and then tightening the screws. But! Problem: It was pressed so hard that the laptop got stuck. So I folded the sheet of paper neatly and tightly and placed it on the stand with the laptop, then tightened the screws, then pulled out the laptop and paper (very tightly), and then the laptop stood up as it should. Oh! If you've gotten this far, there are a few downsides. CONS: 1. The ends are open so if you use it sideways it doesn't look the same. The last photo shows the hollow end.2. Fine workmanship, unfortunately contains a white logo. *eye roll* But! I just rotated it so the logo is facing the wall. I wouldn't buy it if it wasn't possible.

Pros
  • practical item
Cons
  • so far so good
