Abstract

A stand for use with a laptop or portable computing device, such as, but not limited to, a MacBook. The stand elevates a laptop or portable computing device up off a desk or table top, reducing neck strain in the user and creating a more comfortable work setting. An adjustable-height stem connects a base and platform. The base also may be used alone, and comprises means for support the bottom of a computer stand. The base also may comprise storage space or shelves.
