    Great design...few flaws

    • Written by from Burlington

    Purchased this about a year ago...

    Pros:

    * sturdy/rock solid - your MacBook isn't going to move
    * As the stand is designed to have your macbook angled towards you the viewing angle is comfortable.
    * Flawless design when sitting next to any iMac/Cinema Display
    * Rubber sections on the stand that make sure you don't damage your Macbook.

    Cons:

    * It's not light so taking it anywhere is awkward

    Overall this is a well thought out stand with attention to detail.

    Great stand

    • Written by from Portland

    I'm able to utilize the laptop screen in dual mode way more efficiently. It aligns nicely with with my monitor.

    Nice

    • Written by from Ames

    I looked at several of the stands here for a MacBook Pro17. This one didn't disappoint. A single curved piece of thick aluminum, its stylish and functional. Allows an accessory keyboard to be stuck out of the way (into the curve). But that curve in the aluminum (with no bracing) means its somewhat spring-like. When you hit your desk or work surface, it bounces a little (like any spring). Other than that, the pads are thick, the quality is good and it was worth the money.

    best accessory for macbook pro

    • Written by from Stafford

    I cannot express how much i love this thing. It gives a desktop feel to your laptop. Compound this stand with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse and you will have an ultimate setup!

    Best macbook stand IMO

    • Written by from Toronto

    Just received mine from UPS -
    it's a little wobbly if you are typing on it. I'm not, and that's not my reason for buying it.
    It elevates it to a good height but since it is not adjustable, you had better have an adjustable chair unless you are lucky and it is the perfect height for your eyes.
    Styling is excellent and the design really opens up space to use under the macbook, which I think is its greatest strength. My keyboard sneaks a little bit under and I have my external under there hiding.
    It is a little pricey, but it's not macbook specific and you could potentially use this with every laptop you get for the rest of your life.

    It's a solid 4.5/5 - I dont toss around 5's and the price made me think it over for a few weeks.

    Love It!

    • Written by from El Cajon

    I chewed the cud over buying this for weeks. Finally went ahead and bought it. It works great for me. The hole in the back to organize your cables was a little rough around the edges but other than that flawless design. Very happy that I have it, even with the rubber stops that my computer sits on it still seems to work very well as a heat sink. Had the hole in the back had a better seal for cables this would have gotten five stars. Matches perfectly with the aluminum on my macbook pro 17" and supports it easily and very sturdy comparable to sitting flat on a desk. This is the best stand I have ever owned, I used to have a Griffin iCurve and my old 17" slid off and my screen broke, the rubber grips couldn't hold it without sliding. The rain has a lip with rubber stops so I don't have to worry about that.

    Rain Design Just Changed My Behavior.

    • Written by from PORTLAND

    I've had to have my external monitor on my right side for as long as I've had an external monitor.

    I finally upgraded the stack of magazines my MacBook Pro has been sitting on at home all its life to a Rain mStand today. It took trips to two of the three Apple Stores in Portland, Oregon, but I found one. And I wasn't even ever 'after' one. I just struck out twice while looking for something I was better than what i could fashion in my garage.

    The secure situation of your laptop while resting on it, the cable management, the perfectly tuned ergonomics, the perfectly tuned height and keyboard / display geometry - all amazing. Near perfect.
    The only thing I'm left wishing for - is claw in the front. I like Apple's silhouette better. The thing is sturdy, though.

    it's 50 clams, but buy the thing. i just swapped my cinema display to secondary monitor and the next best option is a joke compared to it and still costs 30 or more.

    i want an email if this comes up in staff meeting.

    Get this stand!

    • Written by from HAMBURGSUND

    I was looking for the iCurve which for me is the most beautiful stand for laptops. But could not find it anymore. So I got this one.

    I was so positively surprised. Nice looking perfect balance.
    Tried on my 13 inch macbook a 15 and on my 12inch HP

    I am getting a second one now for my work laptop!

    slick, simple stand

    • Written by from montreal

    Very good looking stand, matches the design of aluminum Macbooks (used it with the original aluminum Macbook pro and the unibody as well, both 15 inches).

    Cut out in the stand help with routing your keyboard and mouse wiring.

    The stand is very stable and gets the screen to a good height (i am 6'4") but it might be a little high for smaller people. Four stars because it could use height adjustment... but then it wouldn't be as slick right?

    Nice design but....

    • Written by from DIXON

    The aluminum design is really nice, it matches the macbook. I ended up returning this product because the 6 inches increased in height was a little bit too much for me. It turns out that 3-4 inches is all I need. This would be perfect for me if it has an adjustable height.

    Brilliant

    • Written by from Honolulu

    This really is a wonderful stand. I had not wanted to purchase an external keyboard so I thought that I'd bare it out using the internal one with possibly few stress related problems but after I set it up, wow! I hadn't ANY discomfort in typing on this! It's slanted to a perfect degree for me and it's quite comfortable.

    I had read a review here stating that for a 5' 3" person, this was a bit too high for them. However my being the same height, my preference would actually be for it to be elevated another inch or two.

    All in all, it's a very sturdy product and it's been a delight to have. I can't dream a life without it now!! I'm definitely recommending this to my stepdad who hunches over his notebook all day long. (Perhaps I'll buy it as his birthday present? ;] )

    mStand for MacBook

    • Written by from Kennesaw

    Just received my mstand and it's very sturdy. I purchased it to have a more ergonomic workspace as I am having neck issues. It raises my MacBook screen by 6 inches. I wish it had an adjustable height in case you are taller or shorter. This is a major improvement ergonomically for me. It matches my MacBook perfectly and is just as sleekly designed with sturdiness in mind. Seems to be a great product.
