Kensington Collapsible Aluminum Laptop Riser review

The Kensington Collapsible Aluminum Laptop Riser (SKU K50406WW) is the cheapest aluminum stand on this list. Kensington lists seven levels of height and angle adjustment, with height from 2.24 to 5.83 in. and angle from 12 to 44 degrees. It supports laptops up to 16 in. and up to 11 lb, the highest rated load here, and it weighs just 0.53 lb. An open ventilation design lets air reach the laptop, anti-slip silicone pads protect the case, and a safety ledge stopper keeps the laptop from sliding off. It folds flat to fit in a laptop bag. The catch is height: at a maximum of 5.83 in., it tilts the screen up but will not reach eye level for most adults, so it suits people who want a better typing angle or a modest lift. It costs $34.29 on Kensington's US store. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the riser.
