Twelve South Curve SE Laptop Stand

£39.99

Over the past few years, many of us have transitioned into flexibly working between the office and home, so having a great home set-up is essential. However, often we are left working from home on laptops in less-than-ideal conditions hunched over screens straining to see. This is where Twelve South’s Curve SE laptop stand is a great functional, affordable, and stylish solution to these problems.

Twelve South’s Curve SE laptop stand provides an affordable laptop stand option that features all the same stylish and functional qualities of the bestselling original Curve stand. Made of silver aluminium the stand lifts your laptop 6.5 inches above your desk to be placed in the best ergonomic position to support good posture and comfortability. The silver design makes it look great with any laptop design, as it works to securely hold your laptop. Additionally, the stand's arms feel sturdy and feature cushioned pads to ensure that your laptop is never scratched whilst on the stand.

The laptop stand worked great for me, and with the addition of a full-sized keyboard and a computer mouse, I had a full set-up ready for a range of work tasks and meetings. I especially liked that the heightened angle made conference calls look more professional and allowed me to add additional screens at a similar height for a cohesive multi-screen set-up. Also, if like me you have a slightly older laptop where the fans aren’t doing so great, the stand provides essential ventilation to your laptop's fans to reduce the chance of it overheating which was great for me. The stand comes compact in 3 separate parts which are easily snapped together without the need for any further tools. However, once constructed the laptop stand is designed to be a permanent solution, so disassembly isn’t recommended.

Overall, the stand provides a more affordable laptop stand that boasts all the same aesthetics as its pricier counterpart. This would make a great gift for students as they go off to university to have a great set-up in their room for all those late-night study sessions. The Twelve South Curve SE is a great all-round choice that does exactly what it says and will continue to provide a reliable stand for many years to come.
