12 Days of X-Mas: Griffin iCurve laptop stand
By Michael Flaminio, Insanely Great Mac
December 3rd 2002

A look at the iCurve Invisible Laptop Stand from Griffin Technology

The latest iBooks and PowerBooks have the speed and features to double as a desktop. 
One problem though is working on a laptop poses some challenges while sitting on top 
of a desk. The Griffen iCurve is an innovative laptop stand that elevates your 
portable off of the desk and and places it at an angle for better viewing. With the 
extra space on you desk, you've got room for an external keyboard and mouse. This is 
good, as the iCurve seems best fitted for use with an attached keyboard and mouse.

The iCurve compares to the Coolpad from RoadTools. While the iCurve is more 
attractive, the Coolpad has a couple advantages. First, the Coolpad is adjustable, and 
second, the Coolpad is better designed for use of the laptop's built in keyboard. 
Regardless, I still prefer the iCurve as it better meets my needs, although both are 
good products. Essentially I just need something to elevate and angle my laptop for 
better viewing while I do my serious 'Book'n with an full-sized keyboard and mouse.

The iCurve has a suggested retail price of $39.99 ($37.97 at Other World Computing) 
and the Coolpad is available through Other World Computing for $29.95
