Kensington SmartFit EQ Adjustable Multi-Angle Laptop Stand review

The Kensington SmartFit EQ Adjustable Multi-Angle Laptop Stand (SKU K50427NA) ranks first because it raises a laptop higher than any other stand here at a mid-range price. Kensington lists six preset height and angle combinations that reach 14.87 in., dual locking latches that hold each setting, and support for 13 to 16 in. laptops and MacBooks up to 6.6 lb. The footprint is 9.96 x 10.16 in., which suits a small desk next to a monitor, and the stand folds flat without tools. Kensington says the design was tested and recommended by the German IGR Institute for Health and Ergonomics under DIN 26800 EN ISO 15537, and it carries a 2-year limited warranty. The trade-offs are material and load: it is made of plastic with 70% post-consumer recycled content rather than aluminum, and it is rated for less weight than the Kensington Collapsible Aluminum Laptop Riser. It costs $44.99 on Kensington's US store. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the stand.
