Mine, too, has extremely tight hinges. I simply shaped it with both hands as I desired - I didn't expect to move it around much. As you use it, the hinges appear to have loosened a little. However, due to the tight hinges, the laptop is very stable when typing directly on it.
Thank you for your inquiry. Yes, this laptop stand can hold laptops up to 11 inches in size. 17 inches in length
My MacBook Air has a much taller stopper. It does dig into your wrist, but the idea is that you'll have a separate keyboard and mouse if you don't want to use a tall riser/stand.
My 2017 Macbook Pro 15-inch laptop is supported by the laptop stand. The laptop keyboard is usable, and the clips are flush with your wrist so they don't irritate it.

[The laptop stand works in terms of functionality]br>It's stiff and difficult to articulate, but once you've moved it to the desired orientation, it stays in place. [Form wise--] br>br>[Form wise--] br>br>[Form wise--] b I did not receive the advertised product]br>I chose this product because of the combination of how it was advertised to look and its high rigidity, which was confirmed by other reviewers. br>br>At the end of the day, it's a laptop stand, but I was disappointed to receive a product that was manufactured using a less expensive process and isn't as attractive as the one advertised. br>br>Perhaps it was an oversight, or perhaps it was a bait-and-switch. _()_/ _()_/ _()_/ _()_/ _()_/ _()_/ _()_/ _()_/ _()_/ _()_.
I've been looking for a good laptop stand for a while, but most of the others I looked at only raised the back or the entire laptop by 6 or 8 inches. I've got it set at around 14 inches, and I'm still able to type on it! (It can go even further, but if it's straight up, the platform can't be tilted back very far before the stand tips. ) That isn't a design flaw; it's just physics. ) I can either lower it a little more, tilting the platform back a little more, for a more even typing surface, or raise it straight up for viewing. It elevates my laptop in either direction or in the middle, making it more comfortable to use. It's a good thing that the hinged areas where it moves are very stiff. It's not going to fall down, so I'm not worried. My chunky old Thinkpad W520 (circa 2011-2012) fits perfectly between the two laptop-holding lips. sue me; Its keyboard has a special place in my heart). The stand is well-built and sturdy. It has a nice matte finish and has been machined. The finish has an aluminum-like appearance. I'm a big fan of the straight lines. I was worried that the logo would be too prominent. It's nearly gone. (See the last photo for an example of how it appears most of the time. ) The logo is only visible from certain angles. If I had to pick a "con," I'd say that there could be more ventilation holes to keep the laptop cool. In the short time I've had it, I haven't noticed any overheating, but it's worth keeping an eye on. For me, this is an excellent purchase, and I wish I had discovered it years ago!.
br>- Height and screen angle are both easily adjustable. br>- Lifts higher than comparable products I've seen (7" lift from desk vs. 7" lift to screen when angle is adjusted; the top of my screen is total 17" off the desk, allowing even taller people to use to lift to eye level)br>- With a little muscle, it adjusts very smoothly (which is why it's so sturdy)br>- I type on my laptop and with a Bluetooth keyboard with ease. br>- The laptop is held in place by two metal pieces that measure approximately. 5" high, so if you're typing on a very thin laptop like mine, your wrists will occasionally touch them, but it hasn't been as bothersome as I had feared. br>- Overall, this is a fantastic addition to my home office; I only wish I had bought it years ago!.
My neck and shoulders were giving me trouble. I finally realized the issue was with how I used my laptop. I'd sit my 13-inch MacBook on my crossed legs (which is a good position for typing) with my neck angled down to see the screen. This is not something you should do for long periods of time! I've been on this stand for almost a week and my neck and shoulders are much better. All I have to do now is remember to put it to good use. The stand's joints are held in place by friction, and adjusting the angles requires some effort. It has a substantial, solid feel to it. The angle I use can be seen in the photograph.
For this review, my first impressions are as follows, and I may or may not need to change them later: br>br>The first thing you'll notice when you open the box is that it's fully assembled and quite heavy. It appears to be entirely made of metal, as opposed to many other laptop stands on the market, which is a good thing. But, having worked with aluminum before, I'm guessing this is a low-cost option. However, as long as it is not dropped or banged, it should be fine. If you intend to move this, keep in mind that it is quite heavy. I only intend to move it on and off of my desk's keyboard tray, storing it to the side, so that's not a big deal. However, if you require portability, keep this in mind. br>br>The joints appear to be fairly tight as well, requiring some 'oomph' to get them in place. Pulling on one end of the 'tray' appears to raise the entire thing, with both arms moving in lockstep, which is convenient if you don't want to fuss with minor adjustments. However, we'll have to wait and see if those joints loosen up over time. If I had a heavier laptop on the stand, I imagine this would be a bigger issue, but that's not what I'm going for. br>br>As you can see, I use it as a stand for my iPad Pro, which I also use as a graphic tablet. It raises the iPad to a reasonable height (the stand isn't fully extended; it can go even higher) and appears to be reasonably sturdy. I can also store my keyboard beneath it. br>br>At the moment, I give this four out of five stars. I would have preferred it to be made of a higher-grade aluminum, but for the price ($35 at the time of this review), it is ideal for my needs.
The item had black skid marks on the bottom and dings around the edges when it arrived. It's also a tad off-kilter. It's obvious that it's been used previously. But I didn't bother returning it because I needed ergonomic relief while working on my laptop (and there were so many similar items out of stock and on backorder). I'd give it a five-star rating. If it arrived in better condition, I would give it a higher rating.
