Top 10 Free Standing Laptop Computer Stands

From Catherine Roseberry, for About.com

Not all mobile professionals require a desktop computer system in their home office, nor they require a full-blown furnished home office. Using a laptop computer stand increases the stability of your laptop while working, while giving you options as to where you want to work. Some of these laptop stands are mobile enough to take anywhere in your home and others are better suited to one room. They are all mobile so you still have the freedom to be where you are comfortable and put away your work.
