Riser

A laptop stand for anyone who works on a laptop for hours. Riser stands 6 in tall at its front edge and tilts the laptop at a fixed 25°, bringing the screen up toward eye level so your neck stops bending down. It is one piece of anodized aluminum: no hinges, nothing to wobble while you type.

Lifting a laptop also lets air underneath it. During a 20-minute video export on a 14″ laptop, the underside ran 9 °F cooler on Riser than flat on the desk, and the fans spun up later. Where it fits in a full setup is in our remote work desk guide.

What it holds

• Laptops from 11 to 16″
• Up to 18 lb, far more than any laptop weighs
• Silicone pads keep both the laptop and the desk free of scratches
• 2.9 lb, so it stays where you put it

The trade-offs

• The angle is fixed; if you need adjustable height, this is not the stand
• Typing on a raised laptop is uncomfortable, so add a keyboard and mouse such as Key75 and Glide
• One solid piece does not fold, so it stays on the desk rather than in the bag

Looking after it

Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth; the anodized finish does not need polish. Covered by our 2-year warranty.
