I got one and it supports the PB 17 from front to back. You really have to try hard to tip it over from the iCurve stand. Go to an Apple Store and check it out yourself and while you're there, you should also get a Bluetooth Keyboard and mouse. These 3 accs. are ideal for me.
That is NOT TRUE. It is very practical. It is designed to be used with an external keyboard and mouse, but makes the laptop lose extra heat more easily and increases ergonomics.
