What is a good MacBook Pro Stand?

[MacLover2011]

I am shopping for a stand for my MacBook Pro 16 inch. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Griffin used to make great stands called the "Elevator". That particular stand worked for 12", 15", and the large 17" MacBook Pros.

They apparently are still making stands but are quite a bit different from the one I have. Take a look at what they have on Amazon:

I have this stand. I find it quite useful if you're using an external keyboard. There is now variation of this stand that swivels 360 degrees. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F01DRW6/?tag=macforums0e4-20

My wife uses one just like the one Sly linked to. Works well, solidly made and very stable.

They look nice. Are they adjustable? I would like to make sure I can make it higher or lower, depending upon my need. And being the worrier that I can be, I fear the MacBook might fall of it. Of course, this probably won't happen. This product looks very nice. I might consider purchasing it.

Awesome looking stand! This is another product I might consider purchasing. Thank you!

You're welcome.

It's definitely a solid stand. A bit heavy if you might be moving it from place to place. For me, I find the keyboard to be at a bit of an awkward height if I am using the built in keyboard, Your experience may vary.

I will be using an external wireless apple keyboard as well.

I'm about to purchase it. I have two more questions. This stand will have no problems holding my MacBook Pro 16 inch, correct?
Also, (and I'm embarrassed to admit this), I'm not sure if my MacBook Pro is silver or Space Gray.... I want to make sure they match.
I'll look for my original receipt in Apple.
I found it. It's space gray.

The stand I linked to holds my 15" MacBook Pro without issues. The stand is a tad narrower than my Mac but not by enough to be an issue. The combination of stand and Mac case is a little slippery but in normal use it's not an issue

I have the same stand. My wife now uses it, but originally it was for a 17" MBP. Worked great, no issues. The MBP hangs over the side a bit, but the front lip of the stand held the 17" MBP in place perfectly. Now she is using it with a 15" MBP and it works well for her, too.

 

[Slydude]

That makes sense. It has worked fine for me as well. The one time I had an issue was when I tried to lift the stand and MBP at the same time. I must admit though that once or twice I've been glad that machine has a MagSafe connector.

I just received the stand. I'm very happy with it.
Thanks again.
