I recommend this one over the cheaper plastic ones if only for the adjustable levels and the coolness.

My husband bought this after using cheap plastic ones for years

Bought one for the office and ended up getting a second to replace the cheap Ikea plastic one I had at home

and I like it more than the cheap $5.00 plastic thing I bought at Ikea.

The strength of this stand far surpasses the plastic stands as well, it feels very well made

Its not a cheap plastic tray but a durable metal that will last

The quick workaround is to use the soft plastic cord organizer to prop up your computer so the tabs are flush with the base

For those who don't want a cheap plastic laptop cooler, and a neat stand, this is the way to go

Bought this to replace the cheap plastic 'smart' laptop stand that finally bit the dust

Bought this to replace the cheap plastic 'smart' laptop stand that finally bit the dust

I use it to angle my laptop on my desk, as well as on my over-the-bed table, for easier viewing and more comfortable typing

I use it for a drum practice pad as well as for my laptop PC.

Does a decent job holding up my HP Envy 17t-3200

but the I, K and 8 button don't work
