Roost Laptop Stand

The Roost v3 has lived in my backpack for a year and it’s still the best portable laptop stand I’ve tried. It weighs under a pound, folds down to the size of a water bottle, and pops open in seconds to lift my MacBook Pro to eye level. The new grippy silicone feet hold onto slim modern laptops without slipping, and the height range covers sitting or standing desks when paired with an external keyboard. I’ve used it on conference tables, kitchen counters, and airport lounges; the triangulated legs feel rock solid even with a 16-inch laptop. It’s pricey for a stand, but the build quality and posture improvements justify it—my neck thanks me every time I set up a temporary workstation.
