AViiQ's Portable Laptop Stand is Perfect for Traveling

It will help you see better, feel better and produce more when working on your laptop computer. The AViiQ Portable Laptop Stand provides an optimal ergonomic angle of 12 degrees, which reduces strain on the wrist and increases comfort for the user.

The angle is designed to improve visibility and decrease screen glare, thereby maximizing productivity. The angle also benefits the laptops by allowing air to flow underneath — dissipating heat from the computer and improving battery life.

Rethinking the status quo of traditional laptop designs, AViiQ's design team completely deconstructed the stand and re-evaluated it from a functionality perspective. Aesthetics were kept at all costs, and the end result is a productivity maximizing/battery lifetime extending tool that boasts design as well as function.

The body of the AViiQ Portable Laptop Stand is composed of German-made Hylite, a composite material comprised of aluminum sheets, and a polypropylene core, which results in an extremely durable stand.

By milling off the aluminum and leaving the polypropylene, the material becomes flexible. This accessory is the world's thinnest laptop stand — folding down to 1/4 inch and weighing a mere 5.5 ounces. It's the ultimate in traveler-friendly lightweight portability.

"Throughout the design, we strove to create an ergonomic stand that assimilated naturally into consumers' lives, enhancing their laptop experience, while also providing advanced durability and simplistic portability," says Alan Yeung, director of marketing.

AViiQ was developed to create consumer mobile electronic accessories that maximize productivity through enhanced functionality and high-end design.

The AViiQ stand retails for $80. For more information, visit www.aviiq.com. And to view a product demonstration, go to www.youtube.com and search for AViiQ.
