8. Ambir Technology Xbrand 360° Laptop Stand, Continued

Of the integrated USB hub's total of four USB 2.0 ports, two are located within convenient reach on the front of the stand - one on the left and one on the right. The other two ports are on the back of the unit. The notebook uplink is via a freely moveable, approximately 23" cable. An external power supply provides the juice.

Instead of swiveling, the base rests on four rollers, meaning this stand, too, allows the display to be easily tilted towards the user's line of vision.

Rollers on the bottom make the notebook easy to adjust

This device has no built-in copy-holder. Its "open" design doesn't protect your laptop keyboard from dust, either.
