The Roost is a folding laptop stand built for people who carry one. It weighs about six ounces, folds to about 1.3 by 1.3 by 13 inches, and slides down the side of a backpack; Pack Hacker's review treats that portability as the whole point. It has three height settings, and its grips hold laptops with a clamshell hinge. It costs more than a desk-bound aluminum stand and will not fit a machine that folds flat.
- — Durable construction that has lasted over 5 years with daily use
- — Highly portable with collapsible design measuring about 1.3 x 1.3 x 13 inches when folded
- — More expensive than basic laptop stands
- — Only compatible with laptops that have clam shell hinge
