A laptop stand can make a fixed desk setup more comfortable by raising the display closer to eye level. The Twelve South Curve is designed for this role, lifting a laptop about 6 inches and leaving room to use a separate keyboard and mouse.
What to consider
- The stand is intended for desk use rather than frequent travel. Its listed weight is 1.5 pounds, and the product page describes a fixed, open design.
- Anti-slip silicone pads and bent arms are intended to help keep a laptop in place and protect its finish. Check that your laptop’s size and base shape sit securely on the supports before buying.
- The raised position can suit video calls or a dual-screen setup, but using an external keyboard and mouse will usually be more practical than typing on the elevated laptop for long periods.
The Curve is worth considering if you want a dedicated desktop stand with a simple appearance and a substantial lift. It may be less suitable if portability, adjustable height, or built-in cable management is a priority, since those features are not established by the supplied product information.
