I bought this from Amazon in February for $54.33 with free shipping and no tax! This is a wonderfully designed product that truly delivers ergonomically. It not only raises the screen to eye-level, but putting it at maximum vertical height brings the screen closer to your eyes at an optimal position so you don't hunch to see the screen. It really cleans up your desk and looks just plain cool. (I get tons of compliments.) The USB hub makes it like a docking station as well. Besides the high price that other reviewers have complained about (I got a better deal on it back when Amazon used to sell it directly), I noticed that it occasionally suffers from some kind of glitch when I plug my Logitech wireless mouse/keyboard adapter into the hub and I have to push the little "connect" button on the bottom of my mouse to fix it. I figured I'd get a better signal anyway if I moved the adapter closer up so I just connected the wireless adapter directly into my laptop's USB port to circumvent this problem. However, it'd be nice if I could eliminate any cords by plugging it into the XBrand's USB hub. Thus 4 Stars.

I ordered this because I use my Macbook Pro (15") quite a bit and found that my neck was hurting from constantly looking down at the screen. The four positions of adjustment are not equally spaced, i.e., from a level position to the first angle is more significant than moving from position 2 to 3 or 3 to 4. It does raise quite a bit so everyone should find a level that works for them.

I read reviews in advance that pointed out that only the level and first incline positions were usable for the Macbook Pro's as the hinge of the notebook, while opening widely, cannot open far enough to make positions 3 or 4 usable. Your mileage will vary depending on the maximum angle your screen will open to.

The hub works flawlessly, but does require usage of the A/C adapter (included) with my MBP. The warning tag on the USB cable that comes with the unit indicates that the power adapter must always be used when utilizing the hub. Without it plugged in, it will not work even with low power devices like mice and keyboards.

The unit's wheels allow you to easily rotate it in place for sharing. Their orientation allows the unit to rotate, but not shift forward/backward or side-to-side.

The front bar has a sliding release to lower it for access to front-mounted drives (or ports) such as the slot-loading optical drive on the MBP - perfect!

The platform on which the laptop rests has rubber cushioning that really grips the laptop preventing it from sliding off when the aforementioned bar is in the down position. The area under the laptop is curved so that air can easily circulate under the computer keeping it running cool.

It is a well-made device that does what it claims to very well.

I was going to point out that there is an APC model identical to this (BTW, these can be had without the USB hub) that was cheaper at the time I got mine. But I just noticed that this unit (with the hub) is currently LESS than the one without. That is, the same brand, Xbrand. Not sure why that is, but maybe I should get one for my wife who inherited the 17" Powerbook!

This product works great! Just note that you have 4 usb ports in the hub and you'll still have the network card, power and the usb connected to the dock. I have had no issues with this device since I bought it. Also remember to buy this model with the usb ports and not the one without as the USB ports make your laptop easier to unplug from things like your printer, mouse and keyboard.

I use an Alienware laptop with a 17" display as a desktop and I was never satisfied with having it sit flat on my desk. I discovered the Xbrand XB-1002 on Amazon and decided I would try it. What a discovery! The stand lifts the laptop up to eye level and is adjustable according to the height you choose. You can rotate your laptop to numerous angles. What's nice is the stand lifts the laptop providing more space on the desk for mouses, speakers,etc. The integrated USB hub is also a nice touch. The Xbrand is high grade plastic and build to last. I'm very pleased.
