The Rain Design mStand will fit all laptops up to 15”. The specification says 17” but personally I wouldn’t put a 17” laptop on it. The stand perfectly matches the unibody Macbook. It is made of the same aluminium, and has a good thick solid appearance. The mStand provides a very secure platform for your Macbook. It also passes the lid non topple lift test.

The design and angle of the mStand lifts your Macbook off the table by 6”. It gives much better ventilation and acts as a heat sink. The mStand angles the keyboard and screen make use much more comfortable. It also looks very cool on your desktop and allows for better use of a remote keyboard and mouse. The thick rubber feet and laptop pads gives a solid stick to the desktop and makes your Macbook stick to the mStand. The front support has a cut out to allow lifting of the lid and a rear hole for cable routing.

Concerns have been expressed about the Macbook lid lifting limits when on the mStand. I tested this and as shown in the picture later, it has more than enough opening capacity. I retested with my Speck case on, and even though the Speck case does limit the Macbook lid lift limit, I could still just about lift the lid to my preferred angle. Using the speck case is my preferred configuration and I have had no issues.

The mStand is competitively priced and is excellent when used with a remote monitor, keyboard and mouse. It is perfectly poised when using your laptop built in screen and keyboard. It looks very professional when on your desktop.

I found the angle perfect and very little give in the stand when you apply downward pressure on it. Its thick construction makes it solid and a compliment to your Macbook.  I have now had it 6 weeks and its not toppled or slipped.

The Laptop support size is about 240mm wide by 260mm high. It lifts the rear by 150mm and the front by 80mm. The rubber feet prevents it slipping on the desktop and the top pads protect the base of the laptop from scratches and keeps it stuck to the mstand.

The attached pictures show a 15” apple Macbook Pro on a Rain mStand. Some of the pictures are with a speck case on the MacBook.  The video at the bottom shows my unboxing and tests with the screen angle limits with the Speck case on and off
