I looked at about 8 different cooling stands all over the net until I narrowed it down to this one and something called the iLap, which was over 3 times more expensive than this one. My primary criteria for the stand was that it be able to be used while lying down flat on my back not just while sitting at a table/desk or upright on my lap. Another criteria was that it keep my clothing from getting hot from the laptop but that it not have to use one of my USB ports or electricity to power a fan like some of the cooling stands did. And lastly that it fit my 13.3" MacBook. Both Kensington and iLap fit all of this criteria. I ordered this one from Amazon and the iLap from the Apple Store. Both had near 5 star reviews.
The Kensington arrived about 3 days later and I began using it immediately. My primary worries turned out not to be issues when I opened the box and acutually was able to see the product. Those worries concerned two issues. 1. That the laptop would not really be cooler because it would touch the base of the stand which appeared to be a flat sheet of V shaped plastic. The unit actually has a large square hole on the top side to allow air to flow to the laptop base. 2. The laptop would slip around since there didn't seem to be anything to hold it in place (the iLap had a removable suede cushioned lip to hold the computer in place). Again this was unfounded because the same large square hole in the top side had a rubber (or rubber like anyway) ring all the way around it which holds the laptop in place. As a bonus it also fit my 15" Dell laptop. Both the 13.3" and the 15" laptops hang over the sides of the stand but that's not an issue. And the unit can easily be used while laying down in bed without raising the laptop too high or requiring me to place my hands at a weird uncomfortable angle in order to type or use the trackpad.
On the other hand the iLap arrived a day latter and was totally unusable. The removable suede cushion on the iLap required me to place my hands high above the laptop in a really awkward position in order to use the keyboard while lying down and using it without the cushion so I could position my hands comfortably resulted in the laptop not being stable and sliding all over the place. Additionally there was no opening in the iLap to allow air circulation although the stand was made out of aluminum with sand-blasted and silver anodized finish.
Bottom line I kept this Kensington stand (and I'm using it right now) and sent the iLap back for a refund.
I highly recommend this stand. And if it turns out not to be too durable as some have hypothesized and only lasts a year that will cost less than a nickel a day and I will just buy another one. However I don't believe this is going to happen.

At first, I kinda skeptical about buying it, but once I opened it, I knew it was exactly what i needed. It is so so light about the weight of the TI 83 calculator. It holds my computer perfectly (12.1 inch and about 4 pounds.) The only thing is that it doesn't lift up as high as i would like it too, and there are only 2 adjusting levels. I bought it so i wouldn't have to look down for an extensive time to read, and also I could carry it around campus. It works wonderfully for my purposes. If you want FREE SHIPPING with the price of 11.99 then call office depot, and order on the phone, and ask for free shipping. I did that. Okii, hope this helps.

I have used this stand for several months to prop my iBook G4 (14.1" screen). I have been very pleased with the product. It is not too heavy and fits nicely into my laptop backpack. In conjunction with my iBook it makes typing more comfortable. It only has to levels for height adjustment, but this has not been a problem for me.

I purchased this to help a problem I was having in my neck and shoulders because my head was tipping to see the notebook's screen. It's working just as expected and I am having some relief in my neck/shoulder area. The gripping material on the top which prevents the computer from slipping holds well. The only drawback is the limited number of choices in adjusting the tilt of the stand.
It does just as it says!
I recommend the Kensington Lift-off cooling stand August 15, 2007

It does keep your laptop cool and it is small enough to carry with you.
