Best suited for laptops smaller than 15 inches wide, the $23 VuRyte LapRyser is an inexpensive way to makeover your laptop for comfortable desktop use. The LapRyser comes as a kit and takes about five minutes to assemble, but the stand's legs come in eight, 1-inch segments, which are clumsy to set up and make adjusting the stand difficult. Rubber plugs cover the bottom of the plastic legs to avoid scratching the desk surface. The back of this sturdy stand features six cable-management holes to route cords and help avoid tangles, and the base has large ventilation holes on its surface to allow air movement for cooling. The included document holder can be attached to the stand, but laptops wider than 15 inches cover the holes where it's attached.
