Best Laptop Stand? | Roost V3 Laptop Stand Review (2 Weeks of use) 

I have the v2 and find on certain tables it's a bit too low for me. So I wanted to know exactly how much higher the v3 goes. It was a face palm moment when you compared heights by showing with your hand "here" vs "here" on video 🤦‍♂🤣 Get the tape measure out! Now that I have the v3, it can go 4cm higher than the v2. Measured from the table top to the top of my screen. You're welcome.

Pack Hacker's on site review says it makes you "look unapproachable" at cafe's and while using it in public. While I agree that I probably look like a dork using it (I'm not going to stop because it saves my neck from strain), people ask me about it almost every time I have it out. I've literally made several friends and business connections using my Roost at cafes and coworking spots all over the place. One thing people don't mention in reviews is that it has a much smaller footprint than your actual laptop (I use a 16" MBP) so it's great on those little round cafe or airport tables and whatever nooks and crannies you find and have to work on while traveling. It even fits on those tables the size of dinner plates in busy districts in Hong Kong that are designed to make you uncomfortable so you sit for as short a time as possible. Also by being elevated, your laptop is safe from spills. By being able to raise the height of your laptop camera you have a much more favorable and professional angle when doing video calls. In short, it's totally rad and worth the price. I've tried the cheaper options and they're not nearly as good. Normalize being a Roost dork in public!

I’ve always liked the different comparisons of laptop stands out there. This one elevates your laptop to a higher level, which is interesting. Thanks for the comparison, Tom!

Great review - tempted by the increased height, have been enjoying V2 for the last three years and is an excellent and sturdy product. The attention to detail is great and the sleeve is also very well made.

Great review & comparison to the previous gen! Thanks Tom and Pack Hacker crew! Roost stands have always had great quality and functionality

Hi Tom, thanks for your great review! May I know what is the width of V3 compare with V2? Thanks!

i just got this and realized not all the contact points are made out of rubber especially the back side of the front curved hooks. Has this damaged anyone's laptop? Also Amazon reviews show scratches from the bottom legs from someone positioning their roost v3. Quite concerning given the price

I have v2 and it's great. I always wished it was a little higher. Def. Gonna get this.

Can Roost be used on a flight's tray table? I'm aware of different dimensions of tray tables for various airplanes, but say for approximately 41.2 cm (16.5 in) x 24.1 cm (9.5 in) table tray.

Great review, thanks! Excited to get mine.

I have a laptop in a roost stand and would really like to have an iPad as a second monitor that is an equal height. What’s the best lightweight option to do this?

Is the Roost v3 not made in the USA?

On my wishlist if I ever finish my thesis and start to earn some real money.

I own a MSI ge76 laptop. Its 15.6 inches in width and an incredibly thick laptop, really thick. Would this stand even work for me?

No mention of weight or price?

Can you type and use the touchpad on the laptop while it is elevated? Not for seriously working, but would it stay stable for simple use cases like browsing RU-vid videos, without depending an external keyboard and mouse?

Just received mine. Unfortunately, it feels incredibly cheap compared to the mteal stands that are available.

You can't close your lap top lid...only downside

How many more inches higher in height does theroostv3 provided compared to v2? I can't tell from the video.

The correlation between height and body length is actually not that big. I'm 5'7", I have a friend who is 6'2" and we have the same length body (we got measured for backpacks together). Body length is what matters not height.

V2와 v3는 최대 높이에서 너비도 다르네요

BUT THE PRICE, TOM. THE PRIIIIICE! I wanted one of these quite badly, but had to go with a clunkier aluminum model that was 1/3rd the cost. Sigh.

This product is just overpriced.... So expensive unethically expensive
