Cricket’s notebook stand looks handy and portable
Earlier in the year I picked up a Lapworks notebook stand for the home office. Although it’s light and it folds up, I rarely take it along when traveling. The $40 Cricket Laptop Stand looks more my style for the gear bag, simply because of the minimalist design. It holds up to twelve-pounds of notebook, which is probably more than I can carry without straining myself. Plus the legs fold in making it small enough to throw in a front bag pocket. The two-leg approach leaves plenty of space to cool off the bottom of a laptop as well.
I was looking at this a few months back, but landed on Logitech’s Alto. It’s not portable, but it does have USB ports so i can leave things attached.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for taking note of Cricket. I’ve found it’s really handy for watching streaming Netflix movies on my laptop, since I can prop up the computer on the coffee table. Much better than spending 2 hours with the computer in my lap.
Cheers!
Hi Kevin, Joe of LCDarms.com was kind enough to send me a green Cricket laptop stand for review back in June, so I did a video / photo review of it with my MacBook Pro.
It’s built solid, looks great, but has one small flaw if you’re typing directly on your Macbook with it: The little black flip legs pokes into your wrists.
I asked Joe about it and he said that they are working on a solution around that, so in the meantime, either use it with an external keyboard or saw off the little feet. Here’s my elaborate review if you’re interested: http://theory.isthereason.com/?p=2236
This looks like it could be just the ticket for my ST5111 tablet pc.
A little velcro and I could perhaps slap my apple wireless bluetooth keyboard on it too.
