Product Information

Full details

The Rain Design mStand is designed for laptop users, particularly those who use their laptop as a primary workstation, seeking improved ergonomics and thermal performance. Its key benefit is elevating your laptop screen to eye level for better posture and reducing heat buildup with its aluminum construction. A caveat is that it requires external peripherals like a keyboard and mouse for optimal use. This stand transforms your laptop into a more comfortable and efficient desktop setup by raising the screen 5.9 inches and providing a stable, heat-dissipating platform.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is the mStand adjustable?

No, the mStand has a fixed height of 5.9 inches (150 mm) and a fixed tilt angle. It is designed to bring the screen to a specific ergonomic eye level.

Can I use my laptop directly on the stand without an external keyboard and mouse?

Yes, you can use your laptop directly, but for optimal ergonomic benefits and comfort during extended use, it is recommended to use an external keyboard and mouse.

What is the mStand made of?

The mStand is constructed from a single piece of aluminum with a silver-anodized finish.

Will the mStand help cool my MacBook?

Yes, the aluminum construction acts as a passive heat sink, helping to dissipate heat away from your laptop and potentially keeping it cooler during use.

What is the weight capacity of the mStand?

The product information does not specify a weight capacity, but its solid aluminum construction provides significant stability for laptops within the compatible size range.

Does the mStand fold for portability?

No, the mStand is a solid, single-piece design and does not fold, making it best suited for a permanent desktop setup rather than frequent travel.

How do I clean the mStand?

Clean the aluminum surface with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Laptop feels unstable on the stand

Ensure the laptop is centered and rests fully on the stand's ledge. Verify the stand is on a level surface and that the laptop's dimensions do not exceed the recommended compatibility limits.

Stand is warm to the touch

This is normal as the aluminum acts as a heat sink. If the stand becomes excessively hot, ensure your laptop has adequate ventilation and is not overheating due to intensive tasks.

Cable management hole is too small for my charger

The cable hole is designed for basic cable routing. For thicker cables, you may need to use cable ties or clips to bundle them neatly.

  1. Place the mStand on a stable, flat surface.
