    What is a good notebook riser / stand (whatever the official name is) that can fit most laptops?

    I am running a XPS 15 (L521X) and was wondering if the ones that are sold by apple would fit my laptop.
    If not, what are some stands that you guys would recommend? I don't really have a budget limit but I am looking for a good combination of price and quality.

    Hello RosarioX.
    We bought the Griffin GC16034 for a small business I work with. They mostly have 13" - 15" Latitudes and XPS.

    Apple stuff is designed for Apple (Mac).
    I would highly recommend the Cooler Master NotePal ErgoStand - Height Adjustable Laptop Cooling Stand. Doesn't really relocate it to the second floor like Apple, but you can tilt/angle it to 4 levels including horizontal while raising it off the desktop.

    If you only want it raised, then consider the fan a bonus.. As you will the 4 USB ports (I've only ever used one which acts fine as a charging station for my mouse, keyboard, and external devices i.e. gopro transmitter, etc. If it can hold my honking Precision, your XPS should be OK. But there is some overhang. At least on the 17".
