Twelve SouthCurve for MacBooks and Laptops | Ergonomic desktop cooling stand for home or office (matte black)

Looks great in my office

Holds my full-size Lenovo laptop no sweat. A must have for a workstation or gaming locale based around a laptop.A tad shaky for the laptop keyboard use.

Perfect laptop stand for my MacBook! Looks sleek, durable and takes up minimal space. I've ordered 3 of them now!One for myself.One for my mom, who kept her warm laptop on top of books and boxes, and it drove me nuts and could be a fire hazard.One as a gift for my friend who really admired mine and enjoyed using it when I brought it to the office.

I am not sure what to say about this piece since it is just a single piece of (plastic?) that sits on my desk and holds my laptop at what seems to be a much better angle than having the laptop sit flat. Gravity holds the laptop securely in place and it is no problem to take the laptop off the stand -- it takes longer to disconnect the cables I have attached. I appreciate the simplicity and effectiveness of the design.I have a standing desk and my arrangement is a laptop on the left with a monitor on the right and an external keyboard + trackpad on the lower level. This stand holds my open laptop at a height and an angle that matches that of the other monitor, which is supposed to decrease strain and prevent the need for you to constantly look "down" at the laptop screen.It is nice in that it raises my laptop off the desk a bit and allows me to use the space under the laptop for storage if I need it.For what it is worth, you don't really need this if you keep your laptop closed and just use the external display. Also, it would be difficult to use the keyboard and trackpad/touchpad on an open laptop if it were on this stand, so you really need to have the correct setup for this to be useful to you.

Sturdy. Beautifully designed. Functional. This item is for when you need to raise your laptop on your desk to allow for adequate ventilation and to align your screen with an external monitor. It should be used with a wireless or wired trackpad and keyboard as it is not ergonomically designed for typing on the laptop keys.I needed a way to raise my MacBook Pro 16" on my desk so it would be properly ventilated. This item was the perfect solution. It raised the MacBook Pro laptop to a height that complemented my 29" monitor. I can still use the laptop's trackpad and keyboard while it is on the stand (but not for extended periods), but it works best with my Magic Trackpad and wireless keyboard. It's a perfect and simple design that solves a problem. I'm buying a second stand for another location.

I purchased this laptop stand to raise my 14" MacBook Pro M3 off of my desk and position it more in-line with my monitor. It does the job well. The stand is sturdy enough to prevent it from vibrating or moving when working at my desk, or moving things around, however there is a small amount of flex and vibration when typing on the MacBook itself while positioned on the stand. I'm giving the Twelve South Curve 4 stars because extreme care must be taken when opening my MacBook on this stand. Due to the strength of the MacBook hinge, it's possible to accidentally pull the laptop off the stand when opening the display, which I've done a couple times. The black finish is very nice, and the anti-slip silicon pads prevent my MacBook from being scratched while positioned on the stand. This is a high-quality stand with one caveat that I can tolerate.

My wife absolutely loves this thing - she has paired it with a secondary keyboard and mouse and it has made her COVID home office desk much more ergonomic and functional. I use it as well when I can get it away from her and it holds my larger 16" MacBook Pro as well as it does her smaller MacBook Air. What you get in sturdiness from the one-piece design you do lose in adjustability. You are stuck at the height and angle of the set base, and you really wouldn't want to do a lot of direct typing on the laptop keyboard once it's up there (it bounces up and down). It is sturdy and will not slip or slide around and clears up surface space on the desk as well as get the monitor up higher and reduces neck strain.

This product is worth every penny. It has the perfect angle, the perfect height, is a very sleek and very modern looking piece. I'm very pleased with it.
