Before I ordered this item for personal use, I had already been using this at work for about a month. It has been a boon for my stressed neck muscles. I have a Toshiba M35 15.4″ wide-screen laptop at home and a Compaq nc6000 at work. While it fits just perfectly with both the laptops, there is a slight overhang (approx 1″ on one side) when used with the Toshiba laptop. This can be an irritant if you would want to attach the mounting bracket for the document holder (which I would expect to be included with the product, not sold as an extra). You get the mounting bracket, but not the document holder!!
The good news is that the product is very very flexible (with multiple height settings) and very laptop-friendly (with vents in the base. This is better than putting your laptop on a flat surface.) Both of my laptops run a lot cooler! The detachable shelves (2 in number) are handy, but one would work just fine. 3M should replace the other one with the document holder. If you use a wireless mouse, you can put the base on it, or just a little trinket.
Finally, for just $23, you cannot beat this laptop riser. I have always admired 3M and this wonderful product hasn’t dimmed my admiration for them.
This is the best, affordable, and cool-looking laptop riser.

I purchased this so that I would have room on my desk for a secondary keyboard. When I got it, I realized that there was enough room underneath the raised laptop to fit my external hard drive, USB hub, and network switch. My desk is now much less clutterd with wires, and the laptop is at a much more comfortable height.

I ordered the 3M LX500 because of space issues in my office. I have no room to place an underdesk drawer or keyboard tray. The 3M LX500 Riser helped lift my laptop to a more manageable (no neck straining) height, while allowing the keyboard to fit in the space on the desk beneath it. It works great with my port replicator and is definitely a space-saver! I have always been happy with 3M products and will continue to look for more innovative products for laptops!

I originally bought this stand to retain a lot of desk space that I was missing by way of a large maxtor harddrive and a presonus firewire audio interface. They sit underneath this stand and the laptop sits above them. This stand has a lot of nifty features. I would reccomend it to anyone who is in need of such a product. It fits my Macbook [the little one at 13.3"] with a bit of room to spare, but I expected it would. Since the macbook has all its jacks on the left side, the side tray makes a good way to relieve stress on your cables. If you have a traditional Laptop where all of the cabling comes through the rear, it has a cable organizer and clip, which is very useful for staying organized. The stand could be improved if the hollow square base were solid plastic. Because it is not, my harddrive sits at an angle when I would rather it be straight. Not a huge complaint but like I said, that part could be improved upon. I’m sure 3m wasn’t thinking about the area below the shelf being used for storage though.
Overall, I’d say purchase this if your looking for a decent laptop stand at a good price.

I got this more for the screen height than anything. My chiropractor explained how so many of us have bad back and head posture because we are looking down at our computer screens instead of level. However this model has some nice extra features. The cut-away area keeps the labtop cool. All my extra cords for Pilot, camera, iPod, etc. can hide underneath. The 2 little side attachments can hold my wireless mouse charger & my iPod when it is charging, giving me much more desk space. Only wish it was a little easier to change the height, but then it would have cost more.
