Do you guys use a desk stand for you laptop?

I've got a t43, and want to get an elevated stand. I've seen bad reviews of the griffen offerings, mostly because of slippage. Has anyone here come across a good stand for their thinkpad.

I've seen one of these, they look quite nice and include a full keyboard

I have the one that's pictured at the bottom and have used it for about 2 weeks or so. It's brought the screen to an ideal level for me at the 15 degree mark, and it's a nice simple design. :)

I had a while ago, built an stand from K'nex (lend some from my little brother :D ). Worked quit well, but my Compaq has it's CD-ROM drive at the front, and not at the side, so it wasn't very handy :P

But it was quite strong, and didn't collapse from the weight of my Compaq. (3,2KGs! Ooompf! )

I do...sometimes.

I bought a generic stand/cooler off eBay about a year ago for the HP I was using at the time.

It was a little small for the 17" HP. It fits my X30 perfectly though.

It basically a bent piece of plexiglass which has a 1" or so rise in the back, with 2 fans underneath for cooling.

It attaches with a USB cable, and there is a couple of ports in the back of the stand/cooler.

I must say, it really does work well (as a cooler). I use NHC and i can see the temps do drop when I have the fans turned on.

I'm not sure what you're looking for...do you just want a slight (1-2") elevation? There are also stands such as the Kingston Notebook stand that elevates the LCD to eye level and is designed to be used with keyboard.

I suggest eBay...
