How high could I raise this device if I am using an external monitor instead of a laptop? i.e. The space where the laptop sits on cannot be tilted.

I use this for my standing desk. It easily supports my 28" screen at a 12" lift and could probably go a couple inches higher.

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.

I think the height of the support in the back may not be tall enough for stable display.

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.

When placed on a desk with the legs deployed in a 'Z' configuration it is quite solid unless one would lean heavily on it. I'm 5'4" and I could easily type on the laptop standing up by the desk. The stand could be raised quite a few inches higher for someone taller and still remain fairly solid. I've uploaded a photo showing my installation over my Logitech Momo sim racing wheel.

Very easy. Push and hold the large button and raise it. My 20" monitor can be up to about 12" off the desk from the bottom of it to the top of the desk. I keep mine at about 8".

That depends on how many stackable columns you can find to go under the stand, but the information provided from the page says, " This stand features stackable columns that can raise devices up to 5-7/8 inches. Three height settings with 1-5/8-inch increments allow you to find the ideal height to comfortably view your monitor."Hope this helps. :-)

George,I did that one time.. I placed the screen on a table and set it in a corner so that the sides of the screen were at a 45 degree angle with each side wall and just barely touching to give it stability. I used a sturdy 30 in high table and it worked very well, but I wouldn't recommend it on a regular basis.Jim Bell

Unlikely to accommodate that. Space under is 2 inches high by 14 3/4 inches wide. From desk to top is 4 inches. If you want to use the laptop in the open position it would partially block an external monitor and there is a drawer above that which your laptop would make unaccessible.

You may be able to mount it upside down, but it was so wobbly that I returned the item. Also, the computer that rested on it was too heavy for the laptop holder part - leaned badly to the side which was quite uncomfortable for the user. I bought it originally for an office environment and we use Dell Latitude laptops. I suppose if you are using a small, lightweight notebook computer it might be ok. I opted instead for a monitor arm and purchasing another, very simple laptop stand at Walmart.

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.

With my 21" monitor I would have about 8" clear below if I placed the arm clamp at the highest point on the vertical post. Might be OK if the laptop lid is closed. Good luck.

David, yes, however, i have the monitor landscape and very low. It is ok, but because i have it so low the tilt is not really what i would like. i am not going to return the unit, because it is better than what i had, but the issue is that since it does not tilt far enough, the color on the monitor is weak. what i need is for the tilt to be be a greater angle as if i put my hand under the bottom and pulled it to me. i need that angle to be increased. if it where higher that would be an improved color, but i need it to be amost touching the desk. I use it aside a laptop and that is the reason it needs to be so low.Paul David, yes, however, i have the monitor landscape and very low.

With the angle set at maximum 27 degrees, the back edge is raised close to 7 inches above tabletop. Depending on the size of your laptop, the 1/2 inch raised lip at the front edge of the stand could still retain it safely if you're using a separate keyboard, so the laptop is being not jostled around.

It can definitely raise your device higher than 6" I use it to raise my laptop about 10" over my mixer, which has a gear flight case top underneath it. The mixer is roughly 7-8" higher than the desk and there is still enough clearance for me to freely adjust the controls on the mixer.

if you were to raise the arm that supports the monitor all the way to the top of the supporting pole you would have about 10" clearance from the bottom of the monitor (mine is a 19" monitor) to the desk level...

the mouse pad doesn't support a laptop AT ALL. It's a mouse pad. The desk (sold separately) holds up to a 17" laptop (I believe my laptop is 7lbs and doesn't strain the stand at all). The tilt has no limit - through the laptop will fall off at some point depending on the weight and angle.
