I bought this 3M laptop stand and a mesh Rolodex monitor stand Rolodex 82412 Wire Mesh Large Monitor Stand, 18 7/16w x 14 3/8d x 4 11/16hat the same time to see which one would work better to elevate and cool a Dell Latitude D630 laptop (14in widescreen) with docking station attached. The Rolodex has a nice cooling mesh top, looks nicer, and has a drawer underneath for storage, but the build quality sucked, and its not height adjustable (luckily its height is perfect for my application). There also is not a convenient size of the Rolodex stand (4-5 sizes in slightly different configurations/intended purposes), and to fit my laptop, I ended up with one that is larger than the laptop and takes up a lot of desk space. The 3M stand on the other hand is the exact same size as my laptop with docking station, so it takes up much less space. So far it seems to cool just as well as the Rolodex, and it adjusts to the same height as the Rolodex (although I wish the adjustment process was easier; I have to take everything off the stand and use a bit of force to take it apart and adjust it). I don't use the included shelves because I have an external mouse, keyboard, monitor attached and the laptop just sits to the side as a second monitor, but I have to agree that they seem pretty cheaply made and will probably break off easily if used. I also agree that the stand is a bit pricey for what it is, but its a much better buy than the Rolodex stand. I wish the bottom of the stand was solid plastic to make it a more convenient storage area, but I can overlook that because it fits my workspace so much better. To sum it up, the 3M stand is currently holding my laptop and the Rolodex is on the far side of my cubicle with papers and misc junk stacked on top of it.
