I need a stand to hold a 13" MBP on a gig. I can't see how the 4 pegs will hold a laptop securely in place. Can someone describe for me how it works?

I've never used it at angles more than 25 degrees. Besides the four pegs, (which have ribber cups), it also has three foam strips glued to the surface that create friction. Those, along with the pegs provide enough stability for me not to worry about it. I hope this helps

The pegs are adjustable in both length and width. It holds my 17 inch laptop no problem. You can secure the length of the peg with individual turn locks. (Same as the height and angle adjustments. I love mine.

I use one. It's very sturdy, the pegs can be adjusted to go in or out to secure your unit. It's really a good piece of equipment..

I own a 13.3inch MBP. Without any sort of cover on the MBP it WILL move just a bit inside, but not enough to harm the computer in any way shape or form. With a cover it doesn't move at all. Thats the best response I can give you

Although I use the iLap 13-inch Laptop Stand for my 2007 Macbook that is still running perfectly, I see no reason why it would not work for the MacBook Air 13". The size is perfectly matched to my own 13" and the angle that it puts my laptop is also perfect. The reason I purchased it initially was because my Macbook had overheated last year and I had to put in a new hard drive and a new battery... the laptop stand has made all the difference in the world, keeps my computer nice and cool and in tip top shape! I don't use it with the black lap pillow as often, but either way, it's a great purchase.

I don't know, I suppose it would work, better to ask someone else I didn't like the stand because my laptop kept falling off

No. It wouldn't work. The flat square base is 10" and I wouldn't trust the pegs for keeping it secure. It is designed specifically for a laptop.

My laptop is 14" wide and is the perfect fit for this stand however it is a very sturdy stand and I think it could easier hold a 16" laptop. There may be an inch overhang on each side but I dont think that would be a big problem.

Yes, but be aware there is nothing holding your laptop on the stand. Your laptop just sits on the stand's platform held on by friction. The more you extend the stand, the more easy it becomes to turn the stand over if it is accidentally bumped.

I have one laying around somewhere but can't find it. It held my 15" ok but would NOT put anything bigger on it. I owned two and beat them up pretty good and overall was satisfied with the item esp. for the price. The connection where the power pin (computer USB to pin) is cheaply made and broke on the two I owned, but again I beat them up pretty good.

We have the 13.3 MBP laptop. I bought it for my wife. It is very well constructed and of good material however it does not stay in the case well when you are using it. She eventually quit using it because of this. The only thing holding the top of the screen in the case is two small elastic bands in the corners of the screen that constantly are slipping off. As to whether the 15" would work, I really couldn't say. If it fit in the case, it would probably be more stable than the 13.3.

I wouldn't put one on it. You'd have to find a way to clamp the base because otherwise it could fall off very easily. Even if you did clamp it, it would be very top heavy. The stand itself is very solid, but in my opinion, only for a laptop.

I have used the stand for other 17" notebooks but not with the HP 17" - i use it for my macbook 15". There are two things you need to consider:1. Max tilt angle of the screen i.e. screen fold back from the body - if its greater than equal to 135 degrees (max on the macbook), then the viewing angle works. Any less, it's not likely to be ergonomic. 2. Is the weight distribution of the HP evenly weighted at the base or weighted to the rear of the machine. If even, then it should work, however, if most of the weight is to the rear, it might be unstable as portion of the rear will stick out from the top of the stand.

That's exactly what I wanted to do - the short answer is no. It has nothing to hold the laptop. However, if you laptop is not heavy (e.g. a tablet) and you can rip up straps or something, you could do it providing you can get the stand not to topple ontop of your face! I managed to get it to work with books and magazines using binder clips. But they're light and the stand was fairly well-balanced. The Levo stand is better for books, though, does exactly what you want and they make one for tablets, too. But I don't know if anything exists for laptops. Let me know if you find it!

As long as it's not tilted to the side it should be fine. I have a 13" Macbook Pro and the lip on the end holds it up in place nicely.

The front of the laptop is off the desk = good thing, think spills. The rear elevation depends on the dimensions of your laptop, of course. My 16" on this x stand (when adjusted for max rear height) is almost 3". I like mine ! The rear pegs do not adjust up nor down but they do slide forward or backwrd a bit. If you neede more rear height you could glue something on top of the pegs.

Yes. It is supporting my 13" apple laptop right now and could easily hold something heavier and wider. This is a VERY sturdy book stand.

Allsop Metal Art Monitor Stand (Black)...you may want to look it up to see the design. This is the stand I have...and mine does not fit in a corner. I have my 17" lap top on top of the stand and there is a lot of room underneath. Regarding your stand...I'd say call Amazon...as they are very helpful with questions. Not sure if I helped...sorry! :o(

It holds my 2010 model 13" MacBook Pro but I don't think it was designed for that. It is a little wobbly.
