The Aviiq Portable Laptop Stand Is the Mobile Techie’s BFF

Notebook stands are extremely handy tools. They allow you to prop your system up into prime typing position, plus facilitate  air low to keep the machine cool as you plow through spreadsheets, game, or simply surf the Web. Still, the vast majority are pretty bulky affairs, making them less than handy for the tech head on the move. However, that’s  changed with the coming of the revolutionary Aviiq Portable Laptop Stand.

The Aviiq Portable Laptop Stand is a marvel of design and the closest thing to tech origami. You see, the laptop stand collapses into a remarkably compact 12.7 x 2.7 x 0.25-inch thin sheet that can be easily slid into a notebook bag without adding heft or bulges.

Executing the transformation is simple. You unfold the sheet, and then bend top portion of it back so that the rubber tabs lock into their slots on the bottom of the stand. That’s it!

Despite being so thin, the Aviiq Portable Laptop Stand is quite strong, thanks to a body made of Hylite (a composite material comprised of aluminum sheets bonded to a polypropylene core). We placed a 6.4 pound notebook on the razor thin stand and it withstood the weight, even when we pressed down on it with lots of pressure. The stand supports notebooks up to 17 inches.

The one downside? It’s a bit pricey at $79.95. But if you want what may be the ultimate portable laptop stand, the $80 may be worth the investment.
