Once and for all: mStand or Griffin Elevator?

[adamvk]

Well Many people say many things about both of these stands, and I want to buy one, as I'm sure many people do. I've heard good and bad about both. Now please, Vote if you HAVE one or have had experience with one, not if you've never used one in your life.

It would also be helpful to see why people do/don't like the stands.

Thanks a lot.

Woof, Woof - Dawg

I own the Griffin Elevator. It seems like you can get more air circulation under the actual computer with that instead of the other.

Umm...I use the Logitech Alto Connect, but enjoyed the mStand while I had it. For some it's (Logitech) is not aethstetically pleasing.

The both look like kinda toy-like, but then again, i don't have a stand of any kind. What about the iLap?

I like the looks of the mStand, but not the price. It just seems high for something like this. Yeah, I know about paying for quality, etc, but the Elevator works just fine for me, was cheaper, and I bought it off the shelf, so I didn't have to pay shipping or wait for it.

In the end, though, I don't think there's that much of a difference.

Having both...there definitely is a difference, in the height of the monitor. For me, the mStand put the monitor up just about right for my non-ergonomical sitting positions, the iLap is used on the couch though...for my non-ergonomical sitting positions on that piece of furniture.

Thanks for the help. It appears the mStand is winning so far.

The piece of acrylic kills the griffin elevator for me. I have the mStand and love it. Very sturdy and matches everything perfectly.

Ya thats why I like it too. And I'm buying the HP 2159m soon and the base of that monitor would match the mStand well.

I have owned both. I much prefer the mStand. It's a sturdier hold on the laptop, and it looks much better. HOWEVER, if you have a thick cable, it may not fit through the mstand hole. If you have a DVI cable, it won't fit. So what I did was my monitor has HDMI so I used and HDMI->DVI cable so one end would fit through - then I was happy. Anyhow, the mstand is a bit pricey, but it really looks classy.

I got the mStand when it was released, and really like it! My only gripe is that the hole in the back isent big enough for a DVI connector.
But it sureeee looks pretty!
