"Not only is this stand stylish (it seem like something Apple would make), but it is at a great height and incline for typing, and there is plenty of space underneath my laptop to store my external hard drive... the cat also likes to lay under there."
"I work from home and revamped my Macbook Pro into what now feels like a desktop."
"I saw many of the reviews who had used this with a 15" laptop, and wondered how well it would work with my 17" MBP. The unit positions the laptop's screen to a height that works perfectly with my other external monitors."
"I was hesitant to spend over $40 on a stand, but given the reviews of other less expensive stands, I decided to purchase this. I use this with the new 15" MBP and there's no problem keeping it sturdy even when I type on the laptop."
"I use it not for a laptop, but for a large iPad and attached keyboard – the superb Brydge BRY6002 12.9 - Wireless Keyboard - Bluetooth 3.0, Space Gray."
"The result is that I have to keep my wrists and forearms on the keyboard to keep the laptop in place, which I imagine would not be comfortable if I had to do a lot of "typing"."
"It has a wide base with rubber cushions on the bottom so it won’t scratch anything plus it keeps it in place."

"Really impressed so far. It feels quite sturdy and is a great size for a laptop or writing."
"4 instead of 5 stars because I wish it was priced less (I paid around $39), and sometimes the height elevators don't work like I want (they don't lock into place at the bottom, I think?"
"Context: I work at a desk, in front of a computer all day. Review: I, like I would imagine most people, get tired of sitting. I researched a number of 'standing desks', which is a broad category, and found this one."
"Update: I contacted customer service to see if I could purchase another rail because my mouse was sliding off."
"It's really easy to adjust and it fits in my lap when I'm working in my lounge chair."
"Good design, with adjustable height and platform angle."
"In the first day it broke nails and screws are too short and came out of the plywood, seller doesn't have return options and never respond my email regarding that."

For regular Excel, and Word, this may prove ideal, but I think I will return the device, and make do with a regular USB 3.0 dock with a USB sound card, and Ethernet adapter, with the penalty of having to plug one additional thing in every time (the HDMI port on my laptop). I was also able to watch Youtube videos without dropped frames in HD."
"Plugged into this docking station I have two external widescreen monitors (one running HDMI to HDMI, the other DVI to DVI, both at 1920x1080 - no discernible difference between the two monitors), wired ethernet, another USB 2.0 4-port hub to connect non-power-sucking peripherals (keyboard, mouse, card reader), audio out, and a USB 3.0 card reader."
"I recently bought a Surface Pro 2 (running Windows 8.1) with the hopes of using it as my daily driver. The Surface's lack of ports is a real problem when used as a desktop machine especially to a guy like me that measures his manliness by the number of monitors he's using. There is the official Surface Deck, which is a sexy piece of machinery, don't get me wrong, but it's $200, not available right now, and itself has frustrating ports. Even with the incredibly snappy Amazon Prime shipping Plugable sent me an email before I got the unit with a link to the latest drivers and contact information in case I had problems. The additional USB ports were very handy and the added network speed of the UD-3900's Gb Ethernet jack was extra icing on the cake. The UD-3900 was sending all its audio through the crappy, tinny little speakers on the monitor I had hooked up via HDMI."
"I use this unit as a docking port for my wall mounted flat screen tv and my receiver and stereo system."

"I realized the value of these filters when I could read a row-mate's laptop during a flight years ago."
"The filter came in a plastic & in perfect shape and it came with the little stickies to hold the filter in place. I have perfect vision and this definitely affects it."

"This is definitely handy if I am in a coffee shop,and need to leave my laptop on the table for a short time,e g. fetching something from the counter."
"I don't leave my laptop for long while using it, but when I do have to run to the bathroom or coffee shop in the library, my mind is at ease."
"If you use your computer in a public place like a library or coffee shop you naturally don't want to have to pack it all up when you need to leave for a few minutes to use the restroom or retrieve a book. In a public place that could be a bit tricky - maybe the back of a chair?"

Find Best Price at Amazon"Very little screen distortion once I got this on my MacBook Air (late 2014) 13" laptop. I first used the little tabs that you stick to the sides so that you can slide the screen saver on and off. (And if you buy this product and see little horizontal lines running across your screen - you bought the wrong one."
"Get a clean piece of paper and drop it down between the screen and the protector. Press gently against the screen protector and pull the paper up."
"Installation of these particular screens do require some patience as you need to make sure everything is perfectly clean, no dust, and a steady hand to apply the transparent double sided adhesive strips that hold the screen to your macbook display. I thought the color might look a little odd on a macbook but actually the gold tint is very cool, and (I think) the privacy screening is actually more effective than with the black version."
"I miss having a brighter more beautiful screen, but I never take mine off."
"Bottom line - effective enough if you require privacy but not as good as other thicker filters you can use on larger laptops."
"Macbook 15" viewed at over 45 degree angle in low-lit conditions screen's dim but not private."
"So depends on the definition of fit, one can say this one is too small or exact fit."

The yellow tape will pull the retaining lever up and unlock the cable. One gotcha that sometimes gets me - I sometimes forget to remove the protective plastic before getting the bezel back on."
"The connector is a tiny bit tricky (there's a thin metal latch you have to lift before sliding the connector out) but it wasn't difficult since I knew it was there. Tablet and smartphone makers would make a much more loyal customer out of me if their screens were similarly simple to replace!"

"I love that they've added a USB pass-through port so I don't have to sacrifice a port for the cooler for low-power devices like flash drives and dongles (don't try to use the pass-through port for high-power devices like external drives; they won't get enough power)."
"days with a lot of graphics, and unable to function without a good cooling pad. With a bad experience of another similar model from Amazon, I recently purchased (it worked great for one month and five days and died). This time, I ordered from Havit, while waiting on getting my problems resolved with the other vendor. For those of you who want to know the difference between this model and the other vendor listed on Amazon, selling the same product. As with the other vendor, will keep my review updated, to see if this one lasts longer than the other one I purchased on Amazon."
"Also a note that if you're laptop is shut off and not plugged in to charge and this cooler is still plugged in and on, it will continue to work because it will just drain whatever your laptop battery has left so I recommend turning it off right when you shut down your laptop or else you will forget!"
"The laptop sits on it perfectly fine and doesn't slip at all (Laptop has rubber pads on the bottom) and the stand the cooler has is nice but easy to accidentally knock back down."
"The fans (3, strategically placed) are so quiet it's hard to tell they're even running, especially under the usual sounds of computer usage. An extra feature which I have come to enjoy quite a bit is the dim blue LED lights accompanying the fans. They provide just enough illumination to see what you're doing away from the computer light, but not bright enough to distract or effect your vision, even while working in pitch black conditions."
