Logitech Alto Notebook Stand with Wireless Keyboard. Holds notebooks up to 15.4"

Was looking for a Notebook stand to help raise my laptop screen up to eye level and hopefully improve my posture because of it.Bought this at less than $20. I can honestly say this is one of the best "value for money" items I've bought from Amazon. Very sturdy construction, sleek design, and the extra USB ports on the stand are so useful. The keyboard is comfortable and very responsive. The only real downsides to this is that you can't adjust the height of the stand and the keyboard keys could've been more tactile and less spongy.But overall, this is a great notebook stand and I highly recommend it.

- Everything is very nice with this set up and I'm 95% pleased. BUT once I set my Gateway laptop in the holder I no longer have access to the microphone/headphone ports in the lower front of my computer! PRETTY DARN FRUSTATING. I thought their would be a hole in that lower front part of the holder/shelf-thing for those ports and no, nothing. ARRGH!!!! $&*#)!!! So, what did I do? Well, (don't laugh but...) I stacked plastic leggos about 1 1/2 inches stacked (yep the toy) under both lower ends of the laptop - down on the ledge in front - to raise it up...and then proceeded to duct tape the back of the computer to the holder (had to to secure it at that new height. This worked. The ports are now accessable but geez. I spent 100.00 on this set up only to be fiddling with leggos and duct tape?! The only other thing about the set up that I don't like at all is how incredibly SHORT the A/C cord is. I mean I read how short someone else thought it was in another review - but I thought - no, it couldn't be THAT short - but it IS. Like ONLY 3 feet long! So I (too) had to move my whole computer table right next to the wall jack just to be able to plug it into the wall. So - althought this is not a portable device actually, it is nice they included the AAA batteries needed to start it up. Amazing they were KIND enough to do THAT but somehow overlooked the no port access and the too short A/C cord problem? I don't get it.But don't get me wrong. I'm happy with my raised laptop - I was really suffering with upper back pain from slouching at my previous set up. I hope this helps. Already my posture is better. So I'm happy with that - which was my aim in purchasing this. I bought it because if I'd just bought a holder alone, I would have still needed a new keyboard anyway - and I liked that they went together. SO - only two bad things about this product, but each one is a problem. I solved these problems myself - but wow, for this price there shouldn't be ANY problems! At least none as obvious as these. What happened, did the design team fall asleep at the wheel or something? I will be interested in reading other reviews of this product. The keyboard - happy with it. The mouse that doesn't come with it (so be aware of this) that I bought (also Logitech) is cordless and very nice. Set up was easy. Good because I'm no techie! I'd give it a 5 stars - easily - if it weren't for the short A/C cord and the fact that the ports in the front of my laptop would be completely unusable without my own major creativity + duct tape and well, an old set of leggos! It looks very nice - but too bad my computer is silver and not black. Next time I will buy a black laptop - so my set up can look as cool as it does in the photo of the product. Gee, now, there's a good reason to buy a black one (sarcasm) - wink/smile. But something tells me no matter what color laptop I buy - they will never stop making fun of my leggos and duct tape. Fortunately I don't care...much. Right now. Today. Okay, not too much. But still... So I'd say buy this, but know that you will need to buy a longer A/C corn and you will not have access to the front ports of your laptop when it is in use unless you own leggos and duct tape. (eye-rolling). Thanks for reading my review.

I was worried this stand would not fit my wide screen Dell Studio XPS 16 notebook as it is a very wide (and heavy) notebook. The stand works great. I am a grad student and spend many many hours reading journal articles from the screen and this stand make it so much more comfortable. Yes the front lip of the laptop is obscured but luckily my notebook has nothing but lights on the front panel.As the stand angles the notebook speakers directly at me it also has also made a very modest improvement to the sound.The keyboard is nice to use, not the greatest but solid and a good feel to the keys. I normally buy keyboard with all the bell and whistles and never use any of the extra features. However, now I push my notebook further away so having access to the media keys are great.All in all, for the discounted price of $36 I am over the moon with this purchase. My star rating reflects the price I paid for the stand.Update 2010-07-31: Liked working on this so much I bought a 2nd for my office desk.

When I bought a netbook, I stopped carting my 7+ pound laptop around and decided to "park" it for good. This puts the screen at the perfect height. It's true that in the stand, you can't get to buttons on the front of the laptop but the handy Logitech "function" keys that let you easily control DVD playback, sound mute/volume, and provide one-key access to e-mail, internet, etc., make that not a problem for my Dell (only DVD controls on the front bezel). Also with my Dell the speakers (crummy though they may be) are located next to the keyboard and the height and angle that this stand places them actually makes them sound (a little) better. The three extra USB ports are handy although you effectively get only two if you permanently use one to plug in a wireless mouse. (And why wouldn't you?)I like the feel of the keyboard--no adjustment problems--and I've permanently retired the USB number keypad I plugged in to do financial work. I'm very happy about that.Bottom line, if you have a workspace where this particular screen height works (just look at the picture--it's accurate), you have access to an extra outlet to power the USB ports, and you don't need access to the front of your machine, this thing is great.
