Kensington SmartFit Easy Riser Go (17 in.) review

The Kensington SmartFit Easy Riser Go for up to 17 in. laptops (SKU K50422WW) is the cheapest stand on this list. Kensington says it lifts a laptop as high as 7.1 in. using a foldable dual kickstand that gives several height and angle options in a small footprint. Textured padded inserts, a wide bottom ledge with a front lip, and anti-slip silicone foot pads are meant to hold the laptop in place, and open air circulation helps dissipate heat. It folds flat and slim, has a built-in handle, and uses hard edges to protect it in a bag. The main draw is size support: it is listed for laptops up to 17 in., while most stands here stop at 16 in. Kensington does not publish a weight or maximum load on the product page, and its 7.1 in. maximum height is about half of what the SmartFit EQ reaches. It costs $31.99 on Kensington's US store. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the riser.
