I really wanted to hate that Macbook Air stand because it's so ridiculously expensive, but the fact of the matter is that it's almost perfect. The only problem with this I can see is that the front pillow doesn't stretch out wider and digs into my forearms a bit. I think this problem gets worse the higher the user level. I'm 6ft 1in tall but if I had broader shoulders or was a drug addict the problem would be worse. Either way, the iLap outperforms the standless alternative. I find it ergonomically uncomfortable. The leading edge digs into my chest when I'm working in bed, and the biggest issue for me is the hard and unforgiving surface on either side of the mat. Next to the carpal tunnel, the slightest pressure on my palms caused pain in the pisiform bone. It drove me crazy I bought all kinds of wrist splints, gloves and wrist wraps. my palms so they hover over the surface of my Macbook for pain-free typing. Hand position has also improved and I make fewer typos thanks to iLap. tried to build my rustic solution using foam, an old laptop cooler and velcro. It turned out to be a waste of time and materials. So I just gave up and bought an iLap. It performs well in all tested conditions. In bed, clutched to chest, on knees, bed or table. I didn't try to take the velvet pillow off because of the mentioned carpal tunnel. The Macbook should have come with this stand. This iLap is just one of those super expensive but must-have aftermarket accessories. The other one that comes to mind right away is the TStand for my iPad Air 2. I have to mention this because I really love this thing, although I'm still sad about the price. Well, if I were going to do it again and again, I'd probably go for the 17-inch model. Okay, it doesn't fit my little Macbook Air toy, but it will be a lot more comfortable - and more useful for future new laptops etc. I'd give it 5 stars if the pillow were just a few inches wider horizontally. My guess is that over time the foam will condense and I'll lose the benefit of the palms up. But only time will tell. Either way, take a deep breath and just buy this stupid thing. probably like it.
