the ROOST (in MacBook Silver for 15" MacBook Pro Retina, 17" MacBook Pro

Works great for a fixed installation such as a work desk. Unfortunately, the height isn't adjustable, so it's not useful for things like a DJ setup where you want to adjust the height and also the angle of the screen.

For someone who is on-the-go working out of hotel rooms or coffee shops, you won't find anything better than this.Previously I used the Griffin Elevator laptop stand which is also a good (cheaper) choice because it comes apart to fit in a backpack, but after a while I started to look for a stand that a) raised my laptop up higher since just about every laptop stand is a little too low for good posture b) folded up even smaller.I found The Roost and am super happy with it because:1. the height is perfect2. it folds incredibly small and comes with a sleeve case3. it's incredibly lightweightI can't stress enough how impressive the combination of these 3 points is.The other place to use a laptop stand is in an office next to a monitor. The Roost would also be good for this because of its height, though to be honest the mechanism for "securing" the laptop on the stand takes a little careful work (2 plastic pieces have to fit precisely between the 2 parts of the laptop shell) and might be annoying for everyday use at an office, especially if you often pick up your laptop to go to meetings.

I found this stand unusable. I think the other reviewers must have been way taller than I am. Instead of raising the screen to eye level, it raised it so high I had to crane my neck to read it. And the position made it impossible to use the laptop's keyboard. It's not that the stand makes it easy to use a detached keyboard and mouse, it makes this necessary.

This is a really terrific product. It's initially somewhat confusing in learning how to set it up, but once you get the hang of it, it sets up in seconds. (I watched the video the company has on how to set it up, which helped.) I use this to raise my MacBook Pro, then use a bluetooth keyboard and mouse. I toss it in my backpack and use it wherever I need to. It's very sturdy and I can confidently know that my laptop won't collapse in using it. Bravo to the designers of this product.

This stand is amazing! Super light and compact! As a student I am consistently on the move and being able to fold this up and toss it in my bag has been a real treat! I frequently get asked by other students what kind of stand I am using for my Macbook so they can purchase one as well! Great product!

This thing is superb. Be sure to look at the images here to see how it is best displayed. You can just set it on this thing and it's fine, but it's really great if you hook it up just as picture. BTW I got mine used on Amazon for half price, and it was like brand new.

I have always slouched a lot and had posture problems and this has really helped by raising my computer to eye level. It is also ridiculously portable and looks very sexy although it is currently expensive.

It is everything I need: light, small, portable and brings my laptop screen to the ideal height. Recommended!
