A small laptop riser can change the angle of a desk setup without taking up much space. This Psitek wedge raises the rear of a laptop by a stated 35 mm and is designed to improve airflow beneath the computer while giving the keyboard a more elevated typing position.
What to consider before buying
- Desk use: The 30 cm by 6.5 cm base is intended for a stable tabletop setup, so it may be less suitable for laps, soft surfaces, or users who need a fully adjustable stand.
- Compatibility: The listing describes it as compatible with MacBook and other laptops, but buyers should compare the stand’s dimensions and their laptop’s underside before ordering.
- Portability: At a listed 260 g, it should be easier to carry than many larger folding stands, although the fixed wedge design offers less flexibility than an adjustable model.
- External keyboard: Raising the laptop screen and keyboard together can improve viewing height, but a separate keyboard and mouse may be more comfortable for extended desk work.
The aluminum body has a sandblasted and anodized finish, while a full silicone contact pad is intended to reduce slipping and protect the laptop surface. A laser-engraved inch-and-centimeter ruler is an unusual extra, though its usefulness depends on whether you need a measuring guide at your desk.
