Guide Review - AKP Shorty Mobile Laptop Stand
The AKP Shorty I received for evaluation was very easy to assemble – no tools required.
Like the initial assembly, adjusting the height to suit your requirements is easy to do. You can work in the most comfortable position for you. Just press the lever located under the work surface to raise or lower the Shorty.
The AKP Shorty is an ideal size for any mobile professional who needs additional workspace or a secure location for their laptop. No need to worry about it tipping or not supporting the weight of your laptop, and that includes heavy desktop replacement models with 17” displays.
The Shorty is very sturdy and has been well designed to take advantage of mobile professionals who may not have a large home office area to work in. It tucks neatly out of the way under a traditional home office desk and can be quickly pulled it out and placed it where it provides the most benefits to you.
My favorite ways to use the Shorty:
- Laptop stand –
enables me to have it a comfortable height and cuts down on the gear I have on my desk at one time. - Space for handling paperwork –
When work involves writing or just sorting paperwork. - Keyboard and mousing surface.
My evaluation Shorty also included an extension and the document holder. A nice feature with the document holder is that you can adjust its placement to suit your comfort level. With your laptop placed not quite center, the document holder is easy to view and makes working much easier and more comfortable.
