Notebook stands
Hi all,
I'm after a notebook stand for my new Macbook Pro so I can bring it up to eye level as it sits a tad too low on my desk.
The current ones I am looking at (but open for suggestions!) are:
The Griffon Elevator Notebook stand
and the Logitech Alto Connect Notebook Stand
Does anyone have either of these? How do they rate? Any other place to get them a bit cheaper in Perth (or online?)
Thanks everyone!
Steve

I had an Elevator before. Excellent stands. I sold it to another MacTalker (Zen).
They are $66 at TechBuy.com.au but I bought mine from MacOnline.com.au $67.10 currently.

I use a document tray to elevate my MBP. Costs about $5 and serves as a storage space too.

TOTALLY AGREE! Worth every penny :P
Super solid and blends in very nicely with my mac accessories
But it does then open the need for an external mouse and keyboard!
