Comments on: Lapvantage Laptop Stand Review http://the-gadgeteer.com/2004/07/21/lapvantage_laptop_stand_review/ Gadget reviews and news by Julie Strietelmeier and friends since 1997 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 04:23:57 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: GadgetFreako http://the-gadgeteer.com/2004/07/21/lapvantage_laptop_stand_review/comment-page-1/#comment-20059 GadgetFreako Thu, 22 Jul 2004 14:40:16 +0000 #comment-20059 That looks like a great stand. I like the way the notebook can be vertical. And the ability to swivel the entire thing around the base looks like a good feature. I personally use the iCurve. Nice. I have had it for a year, and the first thing I noticed was that it "bounced" if someone walked or ran on my timber carpeted floor, even though the iCurve was on the table. I lived with that without problems. I have however been extra careful during CD/DVD burning in the internal drive. But recently, I've noticed my PowerBook sliding off the iCurve arms, which is disconcerting. The slot loading CD drive ejects forwards, and so I cannot put the included rubber stops in front of the CD drive to avoid this slipping. However, the iCurve feature that I like is that I can put the keyboard underneath it, so that it's out of the way. And I can't justify the extra expense of the Lapvantage at the moment.

I looked at all of the ones that you ladies have reviewed and then decided to buy the iCurve by Griffin Technologies. I got it from Amazon for $29.99 and does basically the same as this one, except it isn't height adjustable.
