Editorial Review:
Designed to uplift, mStand is made of a single solid piece of aluminum that matches Apple's MacBook Pro's sandblasted and silver-anodized finish. Working on a laptop can strain the eyes, neck, back, and arms. Prolonged strain may lead to health problems or injury. mStand raises the screen to meet eyelevel for better posture and view. It also raises the screen to the same height as external displays, such as the Apple Cinema Display. The tilt design brings the screen closer and improves airflow around the laptop. The single-piece aluminum design provides solid stability and the aluminum panel cools laptop by serving as a heat sink. With an external keyboard and mouse, mStand transforms your laptop into a stable and stylish workstation that you can work comfortably and safely at every day.This product is designed for the following systems:Apple MacBook;Apple MacBook Pro;Apple Powerbook.
without covering up the slot for CDs or the buttom to open the MBP.
Not to mention that the silver color coordinates well with the MBP.
One criticism I have is that I agree with others the angle could be better. I measure it to be about 35ยบ, but 25 or 30 would be much better. This would give users more room for adjusting the display angle. The display on the MacBook Pro does not tilt back very far, but I noticed at the Apple store that the new aluminum MacBooks open much father.
All said my desk is more comfortable, and using a keyboard/mouse is a joy.
This is by far the absolute best laptop stand on the market! It is insanely durable and will not let the computer move an inch!!! Plenty of room for air underneath, which was a question that I had when I purchased it. Perfect placement of the latch to hold the laptop, with room for the button access to open the computer and perfect spacing between the mic/lock for laptop/and cd drive.
I highly recommend this stand for anyone who wishes to get their laptop up off of the desk and free up some room, say for a keyboard, or midi piano or such.
Thank you Rain!!!!!
Wish the price was slightly lower but Amazon did have the lowest $$ I could find anywhere. Recommended.
Rain Design has methodically examined similar products on the market and developed the MStand into a supremely functional, aesthetically pleasing unofficial accessory. Its intuitive, its streamlined.
The build quality of the MStand really can't be praised enough. It's as though they surgically removed the base stand of an aluminum iMac. If I didn't know any better, I would say it was produced by Apple. It's used best in conjunction with a wireless keyboard mouse combo but can function on its own.
Most importantly to me, the MStand elevates the LCD screen so that it helps keep your head up and helps reduce developing bad posture that notebook computers are infamous for cultivating. That alone is worth the investment, the fact it looks so pleasing as a base for a home office is just the icing on the cake.

great laptop stand for macbook pro
I bought this for my macbook pro and love it. It places the MBP perfectly
without covering up the slot for CDs or the buttom to open the MBP.
Not to mention that the silver color coordinates well with the MBP.

I recommend it
I purchased the Mstand based on the good reviews here. The build quality makes it worth the cost. I looked at other stands and Some were cheap plastic and unstable, while others were just too complicated.
One criticism I have is that I agree with others the angle could be better. I measure it to be about 35ยบ, but 25 or 30 would be much better. This would give users more room for adjusting the display angle.

Greatest Stand EVER!!!!
I have a macbook pro 15" and this stand fits my computer to the "T".

Very solid
This item is great if you want a solid, sturdy stand without adjustability. This thing is quite heavy and feels of high quality. The color matches my 15 in. MacBook Pro from 2006. The edges aren't quite as perfect as Apple's craftsmanship but most people probably wouldn't complain. It does look very nice on my desk (people have complimented after they do a double-take). The angle is acceptable if I open the lid as far at it will go.
Wish the price was slightly lower but Amazon did have the lowest $$ I could find anywhere. Recommended.

Essential Quality
The MStand an essential for anyone who owns an Apple notebook and uses it more than 2 hours a day. I could sum it up by saying a lot of thought went into it, but I feel the need to be a little wordier.
