Digital camera reviews of Logitech Alto Cordless Notebook Stand
Digital camera Review: Good Buy
Summary: 5 Stars
The Logitech Alto Cordless Notebook Stand was just what I was looking for - something compact, easy to use and store. Had no trouble setting it up and was actually able to fold it up and get it back in the box to store it. About the only thing that would have made this better is if it folded up small enough to be stored in my laptop case - it is a bit too long to do that so it has to be carried separately. I feel it was worth the money.Digital camera Review: Good Product

The Notebook stand it's great, sharp and the keyboard it's amazingly soft. Unfortunatelly, My HP laptop has the headphone jack in the front, So I'm not able to plug them in, or to plug some external speakers on. The product was perfect, brand new, and fast delivered. Thanks.Digital camera Review: Good Value for the Price

I bought this stand for my 16 yr old daughter. She received a laptop for Christmas and I did not want her to have it on her bed. The stand is very good quality and she loves the keyboard. I will advise anyone who is looking for quality at a low price to purchase this product.Digital camera Review: Good as advertised
Summary: 4 Stars
This won't change your life, but it's pretty neat. For those who would like their laptop screen to be more at eye level, and also like the functionality of wireless keyboard, including the numerical keypad to the right (which is lacking on laptops), this is a nice option. I travel for work and found that, although I don't bring it with me, it's a nice thing to have at home office. I haven't used the increased quantity of USB ports but I could see that being useful for some users. Not bad for the price.Digital camera Review: Good buy

The good:
1. Keyboard looks nice, touches nice, and connects without any problem.
2. Stand holds laptop firmly.
3. Saves a lot of room by folding the keyboard back to the base.
The bad:
1. Unit is heavy than some laptops.
2. Just 3 USB ports.
3. Stand angle is not adjustable.
4. Cannot access front part of laptop.
5. Keyboard Hotkeys cannot be customized.
I bought this notebook stand for my 13.3" Sony laptop, which is the same model in Logitech's advertisement. One of my original expectation of buying this stand is to avoid touching the touchpad while typing at the laptop's keyboard, which happens quite often for small size laptop. The first feeling after I got it in my hand is this unit is heavy. Almost twice the weight of my laptop, so you won't want to take it with you when you are travelling. It's made in plastic, but sturdy enough to support most laptops. It also looks very nice. I would say it's a perfect color match for carbon fiber Sony laptop, and Logitech's ad is a good example. Other comments from the internet have mentioned the design prevents user to access front part of the laptop, and that is true. I couldn't use the fingerprint reader on my laptop after putting it on the stand. See Logitech's ad, you will know your finger cannot bend to that angle to reach the reader. If your laptop has card reader, wireless switch or other buttons at the front, then you will have difficulty to reach them. Moreover, you cannot completely close the lid due to this design. The full size keyboard touches good, much better than most laptop keyboard. I feel disappointed because there's no software that allowing me to change the hotkeys. Some of them you'll never use, but you cannot change it. Angle/height is not adjustable, which means the screen height is fixed. It might cause some problem for people with high table. AC adapter is included, so you don't have to worry about USB power as stated in some comments.
Overall, I think this is a good buy if you are just looking for a stand that lifts your laptop's screen and a keyboard that you could use without wire. Despite of the bads I mentioned above, I still like this stand, so I give it five star.
