Abstract
A stand for use with a laptop or computing device, such as, but not limited to, a MacBook. The stand has three primary components—a base, a support section, and a platform—that are hingedly or pivotally attached at joints at the respective ends of the support arms in the support section, thereby allowing the stand to be moved from a collapsed position to a fully open position. Stop tabs at or near the top end of the support arms help keep the laptop or computing device in place on the platform.
