LOS ANGELES -- Gadget Grrl says for the mobile exec who likes to travel light and stay green, the Cricket Laptop Stand is a winner. It is made 70% of recycled material and folds so small that it can fit into your laptop case. Next up is a good way the U.K says "bye bye" to the energy drain of electronics. The downside is, Bye Bye Standby is only available in the U.K., but perhaps it may come to the states one day.
Laptop stands are not usually something easy to lug around for most mobile executives.
However, the Cricket laptop stand might be an exception.
This uniquely designed, ultra-portable laptop stand has three legs that spread apart
and then extend, depending on the size and weight of your laptop.
The stand is comprised 70% of recyclable materials and comes in bright, green, charcoal or Mac white.
MacBooks especially need airflow since they can run hot.
Or if you have ditched your desktop and are using just a laptop, you could use this
to emulate your desktop.
The best feature on this device, other than its strength, is that it folds down into a
very compact size that is small enough to go into your laptop case.
I like laptop stands as a whole because if you add a keyboard, it can be close to the look and feel of a desktop without all the synchronization. And if you are on the road a lot,
switching between a laptop and a desktop can be a mega waste of time.
The stand can support up to 12 lbs and also works with PC tablets.
The site also has a search tool to determine if your laptop is too heavy for the Cricket.
