Unpacking my carry on after a business trip often proves quite the process as I reach in and pull out the thin, lightweight brochures, flyers and my laptop stand. No, that is not a typo – my new laptop stand actually takes up only the thinnest of space in my travel bag. Prior to one of “the best things since sliced bread”, in the office I used an awkwardly large French baquette of laptop stands complete with large, noisy fans and an unnecessary wingspan design that never seemed to fit anywhere. Is it just me, or should a laptop stand description not sound similar to that of an airplane?
Thanks to the modern and innovative folks at AviiQ, bulky laptop stands are items of the past. The AviiQ portable stand ushers in a new era with its 1mm thin aluminum-strip design that weighs only 5.5 ounces. This sleek and practical invention raises a laptop 2 inches off the work surface and facilitates improved airflow and cooling without the irritating fans. What I love is that after using this modernistic stand, I simply fold it back into a single strip, slide it into its complementary microfiber bag, and store it wherever my heart desires.
Selected as a 2010 Design and Engineering Award honoree in the Computer Accessories product category at CES, this small product hit the market with a big bang. Capable of supporting up to a 17-inch laptop, this stand is the solution to the bulkiness problem of the past. In addition, who doesn’t love feeling like royalty as they open the package to a product? Putting the innovative interior aside, the sleek, black, magnetic package is enough to elicit an enthusiastic “Wow!”
