Rain Design Announces mStand
April 09, 2007
Rain Design Inc., creator of designer accessories for Apple products, announced today the release of mStand, the newest addition to its line of innovative laptop stands. mStand raises laptops for better ergonomics with a design that flirts with Apple’s desktop computers.
Design
Made of a single sturdy piece of aluminum, mStand transforms laptops into stunning desktop counterparts of the Apple iMac and Apple Cinema Display with its elegant curves and silver-anodized finish. The single piece design solidly holds a laptop while the aluminum panel acts as a heat sink to keep the laptop cool. A cable hole in the back of the stand routes wires to reduce clutter.
Ergonomics
Long-term use of a laptop as the main computing device can strain the body as the user hunches down to see the screen and type. mStand raises the screen 5.9 inches (150 mm) to meet the user’s eye level, thus promoting better posture, while its tilt design brings the screen closer for easier viewing. With an external keyboard and mouse, mStand creates an ideal ergonomic desktop setup for laptop users.
Compatibility
Rain Design’s mStand accommodates all Apple laptops and other laptops with depths less than 10.4 inches (265 mm).
Pricing and Availability
Rain Design’s mStand Laptop Stand (#10032) is now available at http://www.raindesigninc.com/mstand.html and computer retailers for a suggested retail price of US$49.90.
