Amkette Ergo View Laptop Stand with 7 Adjustment Levels for laptops up to 15.6 inches (12 inch /13 inch /14.1 inch /15.6 inch) (Grey)

Since the beginning of lockdown due to the current pandemic situation, in my opinion, we all are experiencing challenges in some shape or form while working from home. My life became a lot easier though when I bought a conference speakerphone to attend back to back calls. However, one challenge still remained and it was about how to get my laptop to perform at an optimum level and get maximum juice out of it. With the amount of time spent on my machine and heating issues, even if it was designed to easily handle heavy applications, constant use of it could adversely impact its battery lifespan and overall longevity. So, first I did my research on what exactly could cause heating issues for my Macbook and I found out that one of the most common causes of overheating is when the fan doesn't operate normally. This may be due to dust and grime clogging up the fan, preventing it from rotating properly. It's also possible that the air vents are being blocked, preventing air from flowing into the laptop. In my case, I used to always place my laptop on my trifold mattress with a fairly good height which I had converted into a spongy desk of sorts. While this arrangement worked well for most of the items I placed on my creative desk, it overheated my laptop to the extent of almost causing a palm burn when I touched it and it naturally caused the laptop battery to drain faster. Next, I had to start doing my research on ideas to keep my laptop cool at all times. Most websites recommended buying Laptop cooling pads, laptop coolers, sturdy fan structure, laptop stands and of course I came across an advice to not ever use a laptop in bed or on a mattress (hard or soft) for an extended period. Out of all the above options, I decided to go ahead with this stand as it was inexpensive and the reviews were really good. Once it arrived, I had a good look at the product, was impressed by its ergonomic design and simplicity to use it. As you can see in the images attached, I have adjusted the laptop height as per my suitability and requirements providing me a perfect field of view. Now, let me skip to the most important part i.e. the usefulness and the promise of this product. Being the kind of inexpensive product this is, I honestly didn’t expect it to provide my laptop the kind of air ventilation it has provided so far. My laptop has stopped heating and it is safe to say that the machine is adequately exposed to the air allowing most of it to flow back into the machine. This stand has really enhanced my laptop’s performance, has improved the battery life too and to top it all, it looks super cool. Also, please ignore some of the reviews where the product has been criticized for being smaller compared to the size of 16 inch laptop. The size of the stand is just perfect as I’m using this for my Macbook pro 16 and I haven’t experienced any issues with the laptop slipping off of the top surface. Overall, my WFH experience has got better and I highly recommend it to anyone faced with laptop heating issues in order to eliminate them once and for all.

1) Amkette Ergo View Pros: 1) Ergonomic Design 2) Gives a more acute angle of inclination, completely upon personal preference. 3) Great material quality and Sturdy 4) Looks and feels premium. Cons: 1) Would definitely NOT recommend it if your laptop has vents at the back, such as MacBook or a MacBook Pro. 2) The base of the laptop is bigger than the base of my MacBook Pro 15.6 inch, which covers up the vents at the back resulting in poor air circulation. 3) Cannot lift the laptop and the stand simultaneously, where my work requires me to move from point A to Point B. This is a major inconvenience. If your work doesn't require moving from one place to the other frequently and mostly stationary at a constant place. this is the go to laptop stand or else look for Portronics My Buddy Hexa 22 POR-1157 2) Portronics My Buddy Hexa 22 POR-1157 Pros: 1) Can lift both the laptop and the stand at one go, many laptop stands doesn't let you pick up the laptop and stand simultaneously. Thanks to the rotational base. My work needs me to move from one place to the other frequently so this helps alot. 2) Great air circulation, irrespective of vents being at the back of the laptop or at the bottom. 3) Has a rotational base, where the stand can be rotated 360 degrees. Helps a lot with my work Cons: 1) Poor Material Quality - Sturdy as hell but could have used better materials. Justified for the price 2) Feels Cheaper - Can be justified for the price. 3) Gives a more obtuse angle of inclination, well that completely depends upon your height and to the ratio of height to the table's height. Works well for me. 4) MacBook Pro Lid doesn't close well when additional supports at the bottom are open. Minor inconvenience depends on laptop to laptop I wish Portronics came up with a premier version of the same design with better material. Tried 3 laptop stands in the few weeks, this is by far the best laptop stand for my needs. 3) ZEBRONICS Zeb-NS2000 - Would not recommend but here you go Pros: 1) Portable - Slim - Compact 2) Sturdy 3) Looks and Feels premium 4) Full Metal body construction Cons: 1) 5 Step process from placing laptop on to the stand 2) My work requires me to move frequently from one place to the other, so this is doesn't work with me at all 3) The overall convenience is minimised adding additional burden to work. If you work at a stationary point, where you need not move a lot, I would definitely recommend this but I don't see a point of portability then. Would suggest Amkette Ergo View or Portronics My Buddy Hexa 22 POR-1157.

This is the second laptop stand that we bought from Amkette. The build quality and functionality are excellent!

Tough and long lasting

This laptop stand has been with me since 5 years. It is sturdy. It doesn't budge. The small parts go away but basic structural integrity remains. I have bought this for my sister, a friend in US. It's my go to recommendation to whosoever sees it. It fits perfectly alongwith my laptop in the laptop sleeve or laptop bag. You can fold it and forget it. Certainly value for money. The stand might be plastic but the basic support is metal. It's pretty easy to use.
