3. Cooling function
Overheating is a big problem for laptops which will infect the performance a lot. Actually, keeping cool is a key of useful life.
There is two design to keep cooling, one is using a fan directly. Normally, only plastic laptop risers will prefer using a fan due to its bad material heat transferability.
Metal one will use a hollow design and elevate the laptop to increase airflow, the great material heat transferability is the reason why wood one can’t.
The laptop stand with fan has better cooling function but it will bring the noise problem. Normally, the metal one is good enough for most laptops.
4. Adjustable
Adjustable is the soul factor of laptop riser. Everyone has a different best screen height, so the ideal solution is to make your laptop riser can be adjustable, both in height and angle.
There is no doubt that more adjustable slots mean more opportunities to reach your most comfortable position.
