Here’s another superstar selection from CES 2016: the Roost, a universal height-adjustable laptop stand. The Roost is crazy-portable compared to other laptop stands on the market too, folding into about the size and shape of a pair of drumsticks.
The Roost’s secret is the materials used in its construction: glass-fibre-reinforced nylon, a structural metal-replacement polymer and Delrin high performance resin. The combination is incredibly effective, providing excellent stability and strength while keeping weight and size low.
Once in place, the Roost gives you a comfortable, level view of your laptop’s screen, ensuring you’re not all hunched over while using your laptop on a desk. The elevated position also ensures that your laptop’s safe from coffee spills and the like, and gives you a bit of extra desk space for notes, peripherals and assorted bits of detritus.
The Roost is compatible with laptops with a front edge of 19mm or thinner, which includes most laptops on the market including the ever-popular MacBook.
The Roost explained in three GIFs
This GIF says it all, really — look how easily adjustable the Roost is, thanks to its quick height adjustment tabs.
And this one shows off the easy folding action, which looks similar to a fold-out camping chair. Imagine how little space that’ll take up in your bag!
Our final GIF shows just how tightly and securely the Roost grips your laptop, as the demonstrator tilts the stand onto one leg and past a 45° angle. The rubberised grip is really worth its weight in gold here.
The Roost is available for pre-order now from Mobile Fun. We’re super excited for the first stock to arrive, and I hope you are too! For more information or to place an order, please visit the product page linked below.
