Unattractive product, unprofitable purchase.

I thought it was worthwhile to overpay and accept a good thing, but this stand is unquestionably not worth the money. It's absolutely bad. First, the materials' quality was underwhelming. The gray area is merely an oblique curve. rough, with marks from paint or primer and smudges)) The stand is captured in the image exactly as it was given to me. Moreover, it doesn't rub off. Of course, I make comparisons with Apple products, where defects are abundant yet impossible to uncover. Since the…

Pros
  • Height modification and stability
Cons
  • Materials and workmanship quality, stand curve

Received the first stand, the stand is not level (laptop doesn't fit on both legs of the stand) and the broken part meant it couldn't be height adjustable. Contacted Revain, waited another 3 days to get a replacement. The replacement arrived and the box looked visibly dirtier (inside and out) as if it had been refurbished. I had the same defect I do not recommend Photos: * two legs are clearly misaligned (2 photos for comparison) * second replacement is dirtier * both defective, height…

Pros
  • Cool item
Cons
  • Protection

Laptop Tilt Tower

later for $50+ I expect better quality than this, I weigh 160lbs, am 6ft 0in tall and have to put almost my entire body weight on it to adjust the height (the screw it just locks) and the laptop weighs 3-8 lbs, no such resistance needed. Even after all this resistance when I put my laptop on it it tilts to the left so the laptop isn't sitting straight and is driving me insane. I am considering returning this product. I got this stand because it was more open at the bottom to allow for better…

  • Price

Top price for a mediocre product.

Maybe my expectations were too high. Twelve South has a great reputation in the Apple community, but this product didn't live up to my expectations. First, it looks better in pictures. I thought the finish would be a good powder coat, it looks like it was painted gray and you can see the "orange peel" all over the base. The piston, which becomes visible when you lift the levers, looks highly polished in the photos. I have severe oxidation. The device I received may have sat on a shelf in a…

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Appearance

Poor quality ruins a great product

I've had a lot of experience with Twelve South products in the past so this was the obvious choice when I was looking for a stand for my Surface Book, it's easy to set up but unfortunately, that's where the good news ends. The stand isn't symmetrical in relation to the base, so if you're even a bit picky about such things, it'll always look fun. I've also found that it tilts to one side or the other on most settings, making your screen look fuzzy - and worse, it feels wonky and unsteady except…

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Some bugs

Twelve South HiRise for MacBook Adjustable MacBook StandTwelve South HiRise Adjustable Stand for MacBook Pro is well designed. My iPad Air and 13" Macbook Pro fit nicely on this stand (one device at a time). I needed a good and efficient fixed adjustable stand. Well this particular stand offers exactly what I wanted. My Apple device sits comfortably on the ergonomic stand. developed platform. Then there's enough height and space at the bottom to place notes, a laptop, etc. to power my wireless…

Pros
  • This is awesome
Cons
  • Repair

Might be great for some but terrible for me

TwelveSouth HiRise for MacBook has a lot of potential and the product really comes close to being a great laptop stand. Unfortunately, however, this point of view is not true. The two biggest issues are just too devastating for users to ignore: 1. Durability - I'm using my 16-inch MacBook Pro. This stand just can't handle the weight or size. The stand wobbles from the weight of the laptop; and the size of the laptop (16 inches) is almost ridiculously larger than the width of this stand…

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No performance
