Roost V3 review

The Roost V3 is built for carrying, not for a permanent desk. Roost lists a weight of 6 oz (178 g) and a folded size of 1 x 1.5 x 13 in., small enough to slide into a bag's side pocket. Seven height settings lift the screen from 6.5 to 12.5 in., which reaches eye level for many users when paired with a travel keyboard and mouse, and Roost says it fits all makes and models of laptops. The box includes removable pull tabs to help you learn how to open and fold the stand, a hint that setup takes some practice. Roost backs it with a 90-day money-back guarantee. The step-up Roost V3 Plus adds a 5 to 14 in. range, 11 height settings and quick-release adjustment for $79.96. The V3 showed at $69.26 with a 20% off banner when we checked, so the regular price is higher. We compared documented features and published prices and did not test the stand.
