If you are like me, your laptop doubles as a desktop. With notebooks being so powerful nowadays, it is often wasteful to have a dedicated desktop too. Yeah, if you are a gamer or have some hardcore video editing needs, for instance, a tower may serve you well. For everyone else, however, a laptop connected to a monitor is probably more than enough.

With a quality docking station or dock, such as the excellent OWC Thunderbolt 3 Dock for Apple MacBook Pro, a single cable can charge your laptop and connect all of your accessories. Unfortunately, with this type of a solution, there is nowhere to put the laptop. In other words, the laptop just sits on the desk, taking up room, while also being vulnerable to spills. A stand can solve these issues, and today, Satechi unveils an all-new absolutely beautiful vertical variant.

"Aside from maximizing valuable desk space while storing laptops or tablets in an upright, vertical position, the stand keeps ports exposed for charging, connecting to monitors, and more to maximize functionality. Additionally, its aluminum body helps devices stay cool while the stand elevates devices to minimize contact with the table surface. Its bottom chamber regulates air flow and helps to prevent overheating," says Satechi.

The company further says, "Made with durable anodized aluminum, Satechi's Vertical Laptop Stand is heavy enough to securely hold laptops and tablets without toppling over.

The Vertical Laptop Stand's sleek, adjustable design allows it to be universally compatible with laptops and tablets, even with shell cases, with ½-inch to 1 ½-inch thickness, including MacBook, MacBook Pro, Dell XPS, Asus Zenbook, Samsung Notebook and more."
