Know before you buy
Yes, the Curve Stand is compatible with most small laptops. As long as your device has a flat base and fits within the stand's footprint, it will provide a stable, elevated platform.
No, the Curve Stand features a fixed, ergonomic height. It is designed specifically to elevate your screen to a more comfortable eye level to help reduce neck strain during long work sessions.
The waterfall design keeps the majority of the laptop's underside exposed to the air. This open structure prevents heat buildup and allows for better airflow compared to placing a laptop directly on a flat desk surface.
While the aluminum construction is very sturdy, the stand is primarily designed to hold your laptop at an elevated angle. If you plan to do significant typing, we recommend using an external keyboard and mouse for the best ergonomic experience.
Yes, the stand includes silicone pads on the base and the support arms. These grips ensure your laptop stays firmly in place and prevent the stand itself from sliding on your desk surface.
