Every so often, I feature different types of tech tools that I've found handy or interesting. Today I'm featuring a laptop accessory that I almost can't do without, the Targus Ergonomic X Stand for Notebook. (See their site for other views.)
This is a godsend, especially for road warriors as well as for those using laptops in offices or homes. Why do I like this tool so much?
- Raises the notebook to a nice ergonomic height for hand placement
- Allows air to move beneath to help keep the notebook's base cool
- Can be easily adjusted to fit a wide variety of laptops, no matter the size
- Sturdy little frame
- Has protective covers to prevent marring furniture
- Perfect for travel as it is only 5.6 oz and folds down compactly to 6.4? x 1.6? x 1.5?, which easily fits in laptop cases and even purses
I've had mine since Spring 2006 and think it's an excellent tool at a good price.
Cost: Approximately US$30. I bought it off-the-shelf at a local Target store. It is also available from a number of online retailers.

Link not working. Are you serious that it\'s only $30? Wow, ergonomic products usually costs more than that, reason why I\'m very interested to see how it looks like. Have you seen a larger X Stand for 15-16 inches laptop?
The price and design were the reasons I purchased it. I have used it with 15-16\" laptops and it works just fine.
For the price and functionality this is definitely a product worth the purchase price. Especially if you want to lounge on the couch or recliner, while still getting some work done.
I\'ll check it out Ruth.I\'m planning to buy a new laptop and I think this one is great.Thanks for sharing..
Glad you found this info helpful! I\'m still using my stand. I take it everywhere.
Thanks for the informative tips and its always been a problem of placing the laptops as it will get overheated, So its good to have a stand meant only for it.
Some laptops are more susceptible to overheating than others. I\'ve found this particular laptop stand works well with many different laptops to help prevent overheating.
