Vertical laptop stands.

Quick question. What's the verdict on vertical stands for laptops whilst using. My gut feeling is it's no but you see loads of apple users doing it.

I didn't really realise they were a thing, I don't see many Apple laptops out in the wild! The company I work for uses Dell laptops and there's no vertical stands here.

Seem daft to me, aesthetics over function.

I think with some Macs, namely the MacBook Air, it makes a little more sense as they're passively cooled. But windows laptops are completely different and there really isn't the same kind of reason for it.

OK it,s a non starter I'm just so short of desk space, need to rethink it. Thank you

I've seen some people in the office using what I'd call 'feet' to mount their laptops vertically, as the new office has 30% smaller desks with 150% wider monitors, so space is at a premium.

Can't see them in our official 'IT catalogue' so they must have sourced them elsewhere or 3D printed them (as some of them are of an engineering background).

Something like this?

A simple laptop stand for when I have got an external screen plugged in, will fit any laptop that is 24mm thick (or less)Needs supports, not really going to bridge that gap easily.
