My Mstand Laptop Stand arrived today having a 2 cm front slot cut out allowing for easy access to the laptop lid release button.
high quality stand, great heat dissipation and ergonomics February 17, 2008

The MacBook Pro (today's laptops in general) generates a lot of heat. Heat is bad for computers and decreases performance and shortens the lifespan of internal components, so cooling is an important consideration. This stand is all aluminum, so it essentially acts as a giant heat sink for the MacBook. The aluminum skin of the MacBook conducts heat to the stand, and the stand dissipates it into the air.
It raises the screen closer to eye level for comfort and correct posture. Ideally, you should have an external keyboard and mouse hooked up also, since using the laptop's keyboard while it's elevated increases strain on your shoulders. Elevating the laptop also allows air to flow under the unit. Before this, I sometimes raised my Mac on top of some paperbacks.
I now have 2 of these: one for home and one for the office. $50 may seem a bit pricey, but i think it's worth it. It's one solid piece of aluminum and durable. One little annoyance is the design of the front protrusion. The notch is not wide enough for my preferences (only the width of 1 finger) and requires a bit of attention to open the MB.
the picture on Amazon does not show the notch.
Excellent product, and it's updated for the MacBook Pro now. December 12, 2007

There's not much to say that hasn't been said before. This is an excellent product that keeps my MacBook Pro nice and cool. There is indeed a notch cut out now toward the bottom so you can now open and close the lid without lifting the laptop out of the holder.
Well worth the money, and probably the best MBP stand out there. Lowered my idle temperatures about 6 degrees over the Logitech Alto Express stand. Boy did my MBP get warm sitting on that puppy, plus you couldn't eject discs while using it. Wish I hadn't wasted the money... You live and learn!
Bottom line: Buy the Mstand. It's superb.
A worthy accessory to the Macbook Pro May 12, 2008

Isn't it nice to order a product, receive it, really like it, and not have to send it back. I'm pretty picky, but the Mstand exceeded my expectations. Not only does it look as if it was designed exclusively for the Macbook Pro, it is very functional as well. Accessing the DVD drive slot and release latch are no problem. My biggest fear was that the angle of the stand was such that even with the screen fully opened, it would be less than vertical, but this is not a problem. Trust me, I looked at more than a dozen different stands before settling on the Mstand, and I am absolutely satisfied. Ignore the gripes for other reviews - if the Mstand doesn't do it for you, then I don't know what will.
Great stand September 17, 2008

I also own a Griffin iCurve stand. This one is sturdier, holds the laptop more securely. I'm getting another one to replace the Griffin - one for home, one for the office.
