How high does this stand elevate the laptop in the rear, and is it also elevated in the front, or can the front on the laptop touch the desk?

Rear is lifted and the front has two tabs that prevent the laptop from sliding forward. The rear is lifted, I would say, 10 degrees or so.

Laurie, Regarding your questions about the Bosvision laptop stand:Maximum rear elevation is 2", comfortable for extended keyboard use. The front is raised about 1/8" off the desk with a lip to prevent slip. Neither front or rear aluminum arms touch the desk - or the laptop - as they're cushioned with L-shaped rubber feet. Front arm angle & lockable rear arm extension adjustments allow use with large laptops and smaller devices alike, such as a standard iPad. The stand is surprisingly compact, light and fairly priced. It deserves a design award if one exists for this product category.Too OCD? Then ... Buy it. You'll like it.

The rear of the laptop sits a few inches off the tabletop. The front barely sits off the tabletop in two little plastic legs. The framework forms an X under the bottom of the laptop and can be folded together for storage in a carrying bag.

With my 15" laptop, the rear is elevated about 2.5 inches, and the front about 1 inch. The front of the laptop does not touch the desk, since the stand has four "feet" so there is space underneath. I use a cushion for my wrists to make typing easier. I like the elevation because it tilts the keyboard -- better for the wrists. I wish it were a little higher in back but I couldn't find a stand with more elevation.

It's about an inch and a half elevated in the back, more than enough room to creating cooling space under a laptop. It's also at least a quarter of an inch off the desk in the front, since there are two prongs which come out of the front and hold the laptop in place. I currently have some USB cables snaked underneath my laptop to remove clutter from the desktop, so there's definitely space underneath.

The front of the laptop is off the desk = good thing, think spills. The rear elevation depends on the dimensions of your laptop, of course. My 16" on this x stand (when adjusted for max rear height) is almost 3". I like mine ! The rear pegs do not adjust up nor down but they do slide forward or backwrd a bit. If you neede more rear height you could glue something on top of the pegs.

About 1 1/4 inch in the rear. Slightly elevated in the front. The front does not touch the desk. I have it on top of my comcast cable box - so it allows the unit beneath some cooling.

It only raises the back of the laptop because of its height (not flush with the bottom). The extra width is an OEM size for the extended battery option.

I found that this product did raise my laptop to various heights. That being said, when in the upright position, it is very hard to type. So unless you laptop has a separate keyboard I would not recommend this product. I have given mine away. Hope this helps.

Hi Ruthie, yes, you will be able to make the monitor touch your desk if you'd like, if it clears the front, you can get the bottom a little lower. It also tilts back quite a bit, so you can pull it down and then tilt it back, this arm is very nice, I have 3 of them!

Hinge up would cause the laptop to lean instead of standing vertical due to placing the thinner edge in the arc. Also, all of your ports would then be towards the top. The arc holds the the laptop off of the desktop so air flow is not restricted.

Depends on how high you mount your laptop, the higher you mount, the lower the footprint. The footprint seems minimal to me, I have a small desk.

I use it without the rear elevated platform, the holes in the top aren't really noticeable. I also didn't use the keyboard tray since I use a laptop daily and have no need for it. It makes the perfect desk in my home office and I truly enjoy the fact that it has plenty of room for my laptop and second monitor.

Yes I use it attached to the side of a wooden table/desk, the vertical height adjustment should allow you to work standing. (I have mine set fairly low, as I mostly need to swing my laptop in and out of the way). The height of my desk is about 30 inches (just over 76 cm) and the vertical pole of the stand goes up another ~17 inches (~43 cm). So (adjusting for the size of the brackets) as long as you can comfortably use something around 45 inches (~ 114 cm), I would think it would work for standing use.

No, it's not meant for a regular laptop. The stop at the front is not meant for something as heavy as that - it just slips down. If you try to use it opened up, the laptop sits and the wrong angle, making the keyboard up too high for comfortable typing on your lap. There are other great laptop desks out there. I use the Travelrite Portable Laptop Station by Workrite Ergonomics, and I love it.

About 12-13 inches to the stand hinge, then whatever the depth of your laptop is to its hinge. You can also slant the stand closer to you, which will lessen the height and bring it closer to you.

Height is adjustable up to about 5 inches (did not actually measure the distance. It will go low up to top of my desk.

You should [place the laptop on the top level of desk. I own a different configuration of these desks. I love my desk.

I am actually not with the laptop stand right now, but Charles Burr has given the measurements. Your keyboard will be nearly vertical at the stand's maximum height. Note the product photo, which shows the maximum height. I don't think you would want your laptop raised any higher than this stand will raise it.

The front is raised by 1/4" and the back is raised by 1 5/8". The front 1/4" raise is when you place the keyboard down into the stand so that the keyboard does not slip off of the stand. If if keyboard is placed on top of the front of the stand, then the keyboard would be raised 5/8" at the front.

It would be a little awkward on the lap/legs but still doable. As the back section is raised by nearly 3", the laptop on your legs would finish up fairly level to the ground.

I bought this thinking I could use it as a stand up desk for my laptop (since all the experts tell us we're sitting too much). However, when you extend it to it's maximum height, not only is it not quite high enough to use as a standing desk (and I am short!), but it also gets pretty wobbly. Right now, I have mine set at about 3 ft. and that is perfiect for sitting on the side of my bed and using my laptop. ( We have a somewhat tall bed, FYI.) I esitmate one could raise it another 8 inches or so since there are 2 more holes left on the metal post, but as I said, it gets pretty wobbly when fully extended. I do like it very much, though.

I bought what was advertised as an adjusted laptop stand. I configured it to sit on my desktop and enable me to stand and use my laptop. Does this answer your question?
