Trade-offs
Strengths and limitations
Published together so the trade-offs are visible before you decide.
Strengths
- Folds flat to 1.3 cm and weighs 960 g: The recorded folded thickness is 1.3 cm, half an inch, and folds flat is in the recorded feature list. With a recorded weight of 960 g, 33.7 oz, and recorded dimensions of 279 by 239 by 12.7 mm, this is the stand in the category that can be carried rather than moved.
- Three tilt angles and a standing height: The recorded height is 25 cm, 10 inches, standing, with 12 cm at 25 degrees, 19.4 cm at 45 and 25 cm at 60, and the recorded adjustable value is yes, three tilt angles and a standing height. One stand covers a low seated position, a raised position and a standing one.
- Works with the laptop keyboard in the lower positions: The recorded keyboard access says it works as a riser with an external keyboard, which covers the raised position, and the recorded description names a lap desk and a riser among its arrangements. The recorded audience is users who alternate between sitting and standing.
Limitations
- The raised position still asks for an external keyboard: The recorded keyboard access is that it works as a riser with an external keyboard. At the top of the recorded range, at 25 cm, the machine's own keyboard is out of reach, so a separate keyboard is part of the purchase for anyone who works that way.
- No recorded stability figure and no recorded feel: There is no recorded stability figure, no recorded wobble measurement and no recorded retention force for the magnets, and no recorded sense of how the vegan leather and fibreglass surface feels under a keyboard. The recorded load capacity of up to 22 lb is a limit rather than a measurement of steadiness.
