Review on Native Union Rise Laptop Stand by Chris Rigsby

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well, wish it was easier to remove/store

It works exactly as advertised and is a great idea when I'm not work at your desk. However, since I sit at my desk 90% of the time, I would like this stand to be easier to remove and store. When I'm at home, I open my laptop in front of the monitor and use my MBP's screen. as an extra screen, so I don't want to use a stand in this case because I need to see my monitor, but even when folded, the stand lifts the laptop off the table a bit and isn't as comfortable for typing. I also have an MBP dock on my desk, but it doesn't fit in the dock with the Native Union stand attached. I wish it was easier to remove and store. It's not difficult to take off, but I wish they had an extra sheet with them. Foils for easy attachment to sticky pieces for storage. Maybe I'm not the target user but I really like this concept and wish it would fit my stream a little better. Finally, a bit of an irony about this device is that while it gets a little better in terms of ergonomics for your neck, it's not as ergonomic when you're typing at that angle for long periods of time. Sacrifice your wrists for your neck.

Pros
  • WIDE COMPATIBILITY: Works with all 13-16 inch laptops with a slim, compact design
