hey what's up guys it's Marcus Brownlee here from mkbhd and welcome to another Hardware review video and this is what I got right here for you guys I'm just gonna shoot this video up before I go out golfing today this is the Griffin elevator laptop stand and this is it right here I still have the box that it came in hold on one second this is actually the box here that it came in and it if you watch the unboxing video you've seen this already but it does show a few of the things about this laptop stand that you might be interested in if you were looking to buy it so here is the box and actually on the box it shows it with a MacBook which is you know common a common conception is that you can use the the Griffin elevator with a MacBook but actually you can also use this with a PC laptop on in fact on on Griffin's website it does say you can use this with any laptop Mac or PC and I've actually used this with both the 15-inch Sony Vaio and the 17 inch HP Pavilion and they both sit well on this and it doesn't have any problems so let's just go over a little harder overview on top you can see here are these these three I mean these two grippy parts to it that are basically what hold your laptop to the stand and and helps it not slide off these are really tacky they're made of rubber and you know it's pretty well built it makes sense on the side here you can see this this is made of brushed aluminum it's very sturdy and if I go ahead and if I put my 17 inch laptop on this there will be a little bit of that bend but the bend is not really a big deal for me and on the bottom there are two more grips on each side you can see one here and one here and those are what grip your laptop stand to the desk and helping not move away so I think that's that's pretty much all you need for an elevator laptop stand like this it's well-built it's made of three parts this part this part and this part down underneath if you can see that like I said before it's very strong it was able to hold my 17 inch laptop like I mentioned before so this is about as far as it'll Bend right here and that really isn't a big issue and it actually does provide a pretty good typing angle when it's when it's like that the way it is right now is pretty pretty good for any laptop anyone is using a laptop another thing is that it does provide minor cooling as you can see there's a whole bit lot of you know a whole lot of air flowing around under here if you do have your laptop on top of the stand this is all the space you have for air flow so if you do have the fans on the bottom of your laptop that's where all the air is going to be circulating and it does provide minor cooling even without fans on the stand itself so that's pretty cool that's a good Pro the last thing is that the main point of this is that it does elevate your laptop that you call it the elevator because of that it'll give you about seven six or seven inches off the ground and the best thing about this is this is that you're gonna want to use this if you're using a laptop with say an external mouse and keyboard and an external monitor because and then then this will raise your laptop up to the same height as your monitor and you'll be able to use this right next to your monitor next to each other so they won't have to be looking down to your laptop and back up to the monitor they'll be at the same level so that's pretty cool and that's the main point of this laptop stance so again you can pick this up at Griffin technologies website Thank You Griffin for sending this out to me and this will likely be a part of my humongous giveaway that is coming up in honor of my summer vacation we'll see how that goes but you can pick this up for 39.99 at the griffin technologies website in the description and that is basically it for you guys so I'm gonna give this an eight out of ten which is pretty good for a hardware review from mkbhd again thank you for watching guys and thank you for tuning in and see if you want like this laptop stand you can check out the link in the description anyway thanks for watching this video guys peace
