Review: mStand by Rain Design

mstand_external_displayHere at TechCrunch HQ, almost all of us have laptops, with some connecting their laptops to an external display. In my case, I use a 15″ Unibody MacBook Pro connected to a 22″ Gateway display. I have always gone by the theory that the more real estate space you have, the more productive you are. To keep both displays level, I’ve been trying out number laptop stands; anywhere from paper stacked on top of each other, to cardboard, but it seems like the best laptop stand for my Mac is the mStand from Rain Design. The mStand is designed for the MacBook and MacBook Pro, yet it works with all laptops. The mStand is made of a single solid piece of aluminum that matches MacBook Pro’s silver anodized finish.

Just like the Apple Cinema Display and iMac’s, the mStand has a cable organizer in the back, to keep all your cables nice and tidy. There is a lip at the front of the mStand which prevents it from slipping forward and also rubber pads on the corners for extra grip.

After using the mStand for a few weeks now, it’s clear why the mStand has gotten such high reviews, and is highly recommended. The only setback — the price. The mStand comes in at $49.90, but if you really need a laptop stand, the mStand is well worth it. The mStand can be bought online at Rain Design’s website, or at MacMall, and many other online retailers.
