If you've ever wanted to transform your laptop PC into a desktop computer when you're working at home or the office then theKensington Adjustable Laptop Stand and Universal Docking Station with Video and Ethernet might be exactly what you need. This two-part solution lets you quickly connect your laptop to a desktop keyboard, mouse, and even external monitors without the need to connect half a dozen cables every time. For the average user who works with a travel-friendly laptop at work or home this means you can quickly raise your laptop to a more comfortable viewing position and start your work day with a single USB cable.
Sounds perfect, right? Let's take a closer look and find out.
Overview
The Adjustable Laptop Stand features a laptop support platform that is designed to hold virtually any laptop or netbook and includes smart cable management to reduce cable clutter. In addition, the laptop stand is designed to accommodate the Kensington sd120, sd300v, or sd400v docking stations for a all-in-one desktop docking solution.
The Kensington Adjustable Laptop Stand is part of Kensington's "SmartFit System" and is designed to raise your laptop screen to the perfect height for you. This perfect fit is accomplished by use of a SmartFit sizing chart included in the box with the laptop stand. The chart has a series of differently sized hands printed in different colors. Simply place your hand on the chart, determine which color is the closest match to the size of your hand, then connect the laptop support platform to the stand by using the slot with the matching color.
In all honesty, it takes more time to read those instructions listed above than it does to actually size up your hand and connect the parts of the Adjustable Laptop Stand. That said, one thing the instructions fail to mention is that if you plan to use one of the Kensington Docking Stations (such as the sd400v) you should insert the docking station into the base of the stand before connecting the laptop support platform.
You know what they say about men with big hands ...
we need to raise the height of our laptop monitors.
