The reason you would want an Aluminum Desktop Stand rather than a plastic one or one hand-carved out of soap, is that aluminum is a great heat dissipator, and laptops notoriously run hot, which causes problems both with the laptops and the laps (men's laps anyhow). This stand also raises the eye level of the screen by about 20cm, reducing eyestrain and neck hunching. The rotating base allows you to easily flash your porn or coffee-shop poetry to whomever you like. Folds down to about 1cm thick for travel, and fits in a neoprene sleeve which doubles as a mousepad. $60. [GT]
