Best laptop stand for Retina

Hi there,
I have a 15'' Macbook Pro with Retina Display and I'm looking for the best, most flexible and secure laptop stand for it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

Thats awesome! But....I found one from Rain Design. It is their newest one called the mStand. It looks like the foot of the iMacs and Cinema displays...it is very mac conscious. Here's a link to it:

I will use your gum eraser idea till it arrives though.

  • Ergonomic Laptop Stands for MBP 17

    I'm looking for a good ergonomic laptop stand for the MBP 17. The main features I'm looking for:
    - has to be comfortable while sitting on a couch or in bed
    - has to effectively help in cooling
    I've looked at the iLap, but I'm not too convinced that it effectively cools the machine. Sure, it's aluminum but its flat and that little hole in the middle I feel is more for show than function.
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks to all in advance.

    Congratulations on deciding to use a laptop tray or stand for using your notebook in bed or on a couch. Even the least ergonomic ones will leave an air space beneath the computer (important for cooling) and will protect you from the heat of the case bottom.
    I've used or tested a variety of trays or stands over the years.
    For my 15" MPB I've bought a KoolSink aluminum tilt stand. It's a very simple and quite effective design. It protects the finish of my desks and keeps the MBP's case cooler during operation. I like the tilt angle for typing. It works reasonably well for laptop use. And it's convenient for travel, as the MBP will fit inside it and the two together fit into my laptop bag (I slip a sheet of paper between them, to protect the finish of the MBP).
    The price, especially combined with a high shipping cost, may seem high for what is really no more than a well-conceived and formed sheet of aluminum. But it is effective.
    I also like the iLap. I think the KoolSink is a bit more effective in cooling while the notebook is in desktop use, and the KoolSink is more compact for travel use.
    But if I planned to make more use of the MBP in my lap than I normally do, I would have chosen the iLap.
    Both the KoolSink and the iLap assist cooling by providing more metal heatsink to absorb and dissipate heat by convection to the air. Both do a good job of leaving air space under the notebook and protecting the user while in laptop use.
    I don't see any advantage to using trays with little built-in fans that draw current from the computers battery. Many of them are made of plastic (no heatsink/convection transfer value to speak of) and some are shoddily made.

  • Best External Monitor for Retina?

    I got a 13" Macbook with Retina late 2012 and with it on my desk, I am realizing its quite small for the desk and I would really prefer having a bigger monitor. Is there a Extrenal Monitor out there that has the best display for the Retina?
    Thanks

    If you are within the first 14 days from the date of purchase, return the MBP for a refund or an exchange.  If you are after the first 14 days of the date of purchase, have the MBP repaired under the warranty provisions.
    Ciao.

  • Inquire about the best laptop specifications for Developing Windows Apps and 3D modelling Animation using "Kinect for Windows v2"?

    I need some help in choosing laptop that is most compatible with "Kinect for Windows v2"; in order to develop Windows Apps, and 3D modelling Animation and Character Design. Which is better (Specifications):
    HP Pavilion Notebook PC 15-p150ne 
    AMD A10-5745M +
    AMD Radeon R7 M260 (2 GB DDR3L dedicated) +
    4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3, OR
    HP Pavilion Notebook PC 15-p034ne 
    Intel Core i5-4210U + NVIDIA GeForce 840M (2 GB DDR3 dedicated) + 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3L

    The second system with the Intel chipset will more than likely have the Intel USB3 chipset required for Kinect. As for GPU they are similar, but the i5 with DDR3 1600MHZ ram is a better option. Keep in mind, if you are doing anything in-depth for
    3D, a laptop isn't the best options, but if you have to go mobile then you have to decide what is best for your requirements.

  • LapTop stand for MacBook Pro(R)

    What can I use if I am using MacBook Pro(R) on an ottoman most of the time? I am concerned it might not be good for keeping it cool. Also have a Tech21 snapcase on it.
    Have been looking at the iLap from RainDesign as an idea http://www.raindesigninc.com/ilap.html
    Thank you.

    you might damage your back on the long run by not using a "traditional" chair & table:
    I found a table even smaller than your ottoman : http://www.ikea.com/gb/en/catalog/products/10059165/
    if you really want the stand, it's a good model.

  • Best Practice(s) for Laptop in Field, Server at Home? (Lightroom 3.3)

    Hi all!
    I just downloaded the 30-day evaluation of Lightroom, now trying to get up to speed. My first task is to get a handle on where the files (photos, catalogs, etc.) should go, and how to manage archiving and backups.
    I found a three-year-old thread titled "Best Practice for Laptop in Field, Server at Home" and that describes my situation, but since that thread is three years old, I thought I should ask again for Lightroom 3.3.
    I tend to travel with my laptop, and I'd like to be able to import and adjust photos on the road. But when I get back home, I'd like to be able to move selected photos (or potentially all of them, including whatever adjustments I've made) over to the server on my home network.
    I gather I can't keep a catalog on the server, so I gather I'll need two Lightroom catalogs on the laptop: one for pictures that I import to the laptop, and another for pictures on the home server -- is that right so far?
    If so, what's the best procedure for moving some/all photos from the "on the laptop catalog" to the "on the server catalog" -- obviously, such that I maintain adjustments?
    Thanks kindly!  -Scott

    Hi TurnstyleNYC,
    Yes, I think we have the same set-up.
    I only need 1 LR-catalog, and that is on the laptop.
    It points to the images wherever they are stored: initially on the laptop, later on I move some of them (once I am am fairly done with developing) within LR per drag&drop onto the network storage. Then the catalog on the laptop always knows they are there.
    I can still continue to work on the images on the network storage (slightly slower than on laptop's hard drive) if I still wish to.
    While travelling, I can also work on metadata / keywording, although without access to my home network the images themselves are offline for develop work.
    2 separate catalogs would be very inconvenient, as I would always have to remember if I have some images already moved. No collections would be possible of images including some on the laptop, some on the network.
    Remember: a LR catalog is just a database with entries about images and the pointer to their storage location.
    You can open only 1 DB of this sort at a time.
    There is no technical reason for limiting a LR-catalog - I have read of people with several hundert thousand images within one.
    The only really ever growing part on my laptop with this setup is the previews folder "<catalog name> Previews.lrdata". I render standard previews so that I can do most of the work for offline-images while travelling.
    The catalog itsself "<catalog name>.lrcat" grows much slower. It is now 630 MB for 60'000+ images, whereas previews folder is 64 GB.
    So yes, I dedicate quite a junk of my laptop hard disk to that. I could define "standard"-previews somewhat smaller, fitting to the laptop's screen resolution, but then when working at home with a bigger external monitor LR would load all the time for the delta size, which is why I have defined standard-preview-size for my external monitor. It may turn out to be the weakness of my setup long-term.
    That is all what is needed in terms of Lightroom setup.
    What you need additionally to cover potential failure of drives is no matter of LR, but *usual common backup sense* along the question "what can be recreated after failure, if so by what effort?" Therefore I do not backup the previews, but very thoroughly the images themselves as well as the catalog/catalog backups, and for convenience my LR presets.
    Message was edited by: Cornelia-I: sorry, initially I had written "1:1-previews", but "standard previews" is correct.

  • What is the best laptop for Photoshop Elements 10 ?

    I have HP Pavilion g6 Notebook,i5-245M 2.5GHZ, 4 GB mwmory, 64-bit Operating system window 7, Radeon Graphics, Eidtior not working , I get error message ( Unable to continue because of hardware or system error,Sorry,but this error in unercoverable).
    So I want to give this one to my son, and I want to bay new One for me,
    but i do not want to have same Error with my new Laptop,
    So any one know what is the best Laptop for PhotoShop Elements 10 ?
    Thanks for Helping me .

    I would suggest a machine with a multi-core processor and plenty of storage as photo files take up quite a lot of room over time. Many laptops have a screen resolution of 1366 x 768 and whilst elements will run OK some menu functionality will be missing if the display is not at least 800 pixels in height. A resolution of 1600 x 900 would be much better.
    Independent advice is best, such as Which, UK. You can get a trial membership for as little as £1 to access their recommendations.

  • Best Laptop for AE7

    I have Premier pro CS3 & AE7. I need to buy a laptop to be more moble.
    What is working best out there?

    Hey Joey, I just got one of those MacBook Pros last Firday, exactly the same config as yours. They do scream! I got the My Book studio edition 1TB FireWire 800 External HD for under $300, so I'm all set except for maybe Mokey or something else for motion tracking. I've got FC Studio 2, and will be running Shake and Maya on it to work on the movie "Robot Land" so hopefully it will continue to perform well. I'm coming off a PowerBook G4 so anything seems faster, but this new system is so sleek and there's practically no wait time for apps to launch. The only problem I had was getting Migration Assistant to copy my old stuff to the new machine, but it worked great the second time, with a little better prep on my part.
    Now I'm getting up to speed on the "Red" digital camera editing work flow for the inaugural OpenCut.org editing contest. It's going to be a wild June!
    On the flip side, I got my wife a new Dell Inspiron after her Sony laptop died, for under $1000 with tax, and it screams with Adobe CS3 too! I turned off UAC (User Account Control) in Vista Home edition, and it runs much better than XP ever did, without the annoyng UAC popups. It's not a laptop though. :)
    Bottom line: Embrace Mac, Dell, Leopard, and even Vista, but avoid Sony.

  • Best laptop for a family

    What is the best laptop for a family- value, price,etc?

    When a family shares a computer it is best to create individual accounts for each user so that email, messages, and contacts don't get blended. (Parents can set up administrator accounts for themselves and the kids can have normal accounts.) So far so good, all Apple notebooks can handle this.
    Potential problem: digital photos, music, and movies. Assuming you have kids they are likely to download more music and video than the parents. Since the kids will eventually leave the nest you'll probably want to have them establish their own Apple IDs so they can take their music with them when they leave without having to have access to your family ID. Leaving this issue aside, for family use you will want to have the largest hard drive possible to accomodate all the users.
    For a single user a 128GB drive might be large enough but for a shared computer no way. My wife and I wouldn't be able to even co-exist on a 256GB drive but we are somewhat out of the norm having overlapping but different music tastes and being avid photographers. So married couple could probably live with a 256GB drive but add a child or two...
    Once again, assuming you have children, I'd look at the 13" MBP mostly because it has a 500GB hard drive. All the other MacBooks have solid state drives which are wonderful but are much more expensive. My favorite of Apple's computers, the 13" MacBook Air would cost $1600 with a similar sized SSD while the 13" MBP costs $1200
    One other point: I always advise customers to buy a notebook if they need portability not just because they want it. A notebook always costs more than a desktop computer with similar specs and since it is carried around and subjected to the elements, tends not to last as long. Perhaps a better solution is a Mac mini and an iPad mini.

  • HT3211 What is best track pad for laptop pro

    What is best track pad for Mac Pro laptop with mountain lion

    Honestly, the one right in front of your keyboard. It's hard to do better than that one, and the Magic Trackpad is just an external duplicate of that. In fact, my dad has one for his iMac, and I seem to recall that there are one or two things I can do with my built-in trackpad that he can't do with his Magic Trackpad... though my faulty memory means I couldn't tell you what those things are at this point.
