Twelve SouthHiRise Pro | Ergonomic, Height-Adjustable Premium Stand for Laptops and MacBooks

This is a very high quality stand. The packaging, first off, was very nice. It shouldn't break during transport, unless somebody sits on it or throws it really hard. I took it out of the box and it was easy to adjust to the height I wanted. With a 2011 Macbook Air 13", the webcam is right at my eye level now. I look slightly down while I am typing, but it is very comfortable for me. I'm glad I chose this product over other stands I was considering. It is very high end. I also like the fact that there is open space below the laptop in case I need to put something there. Some other stands that I was considering didn't have this open space.My one and only complaint so far, and not about the stand itself, is that this is one pricey product. I went to their website and most of their other products are on the high end and priced high in accordance. It is true that you get what you pay for, and the quality is very good. However, because of the high price, I waffled for several weeks before deciding this was the best one. I'd also like to get their stands, but it was hard to justify the price and ended up getting stands made by other companies for my other devices (Spindo, and Satechi). You'd think that there would be a package discount of some sort, or ways to reduce the cost, but I didn't see anything on their website. Overall, I spend around 200 bucks to trick out my desk, and this stand alone took nearly 40% of my budget. I just got this stand on Saturday (4/23/2016) and it is now Monday (4/25/2016). I hope this stand will still be in good condition 10 years from now considering what I paid.Regardless, I am glad that I paid a bit extra for a very high quality stand. I would highly recommend this stand to other Mac users. In the end, I bought this stand after weeks of looking around, and I think it will be worth spending the extra $20 bucks or so to get it.

Absolutely love this stand.I have my 2011 MBP placed on the stand by my monitor. I'm able to have a comfortable dual monitor setup as the height is adjustable on this stand, which makes lining up the monitors easy.Great for graphic designers, coders, etc that need to have the extra screen real estate. I watch a lot of tutorials related to coding and design, and having the tutorial play on my MBP screen while I follow along on my external monitor is great for my workflow.Since this lifts the MBP off the surface, it really helps with the heat issues that these laptops have. I even have a small desk fan pushing cold air under the laptop.Definitely not comfortable to type on the laptop's keyboard while on this stand. The upside down "V" design makes for a shaky experience when resting your palms on the MBP. Would highly recommend pairing your mac with an external bluetooth keyboard and mouse.

It generally looks decent, especially compared to most other portable computer stands out there on the market, but it's quality does NOT demand that price.Quality: The unit wobbles. Typically I, along with many, will occasionally want to type or use the trackpad directly on the computer, and the area on which the computer sits is not secured well to the rest of the stand. It has a wobbly give of roughly a half an inch right and left. It's one of the first things I noticed putting the computer on it.Design: It doesn't appear to offer any more than say, the Rain Design mStand. It's provides roughly the same ability to slide something into it, like your keyboard. But, the top surface that helps prevent the computer from slipping is rather ugly. It's a black ribbed plastic, that holds onto the computer. The unit is constructed of a aluminum colored material, to ideally match the aluminum parts of the MacBook line. But the black plastic cheapens and breaks the look when the computer is not sitting on it. It's a bit of an eyesore when sitting alone on the desk. The black rubberized plastic also catches and shows dust easily, making it even a worse sight to see.I would NOT recommend supporting a company that will sell a product at this price range, made in China (although I support Chinese made products, I also understand that the final product should be less costly), at this low quality and design.
