I picked up a used one here that claimed to be an open box returned item. I paid half of the advertised price (about $20), which honestly is what this unit should cost. USB hubs aren’t expensive at all and while the unit is sleek and works as advertised, I’m a little disappointed at the value proposition. I would not have bought this item if I had to pay full price.

The Logitech Alto Connect notebook stand is nice looking and well-made. It’s a little expensive though, given that it’s really nothing more than a 4-port powered USB hub shaped like a notebook stand/riser.
I think it looks better than most of the notebook stands I’ve seen, and it seems to be very well made. In the back are three convenient, but discreetly placed, USB ports, and then there’s a fourth port up front for easy access (for your thumb drives and other rapidly changing what-not).
When you set your laptop on the riser, you just plug the riser’s USB plug into your laptop, and all the peripherals plugged into the riser are connected instantly (iPhone sync cable, keyboard, mouse, that sort of stuff).
Aesthetically. the riser is very nice. Quality-wise, I’ve had no problems with it at all since I got it – it’s worked perfectly!

I wanted a stand for my MacBook Pro that would raise the screen to eye level. I ultimately settled for this over the Griffin CURV2 Elevator stand. One of the things I like about this stand also happens to be something I don’t like about it. Unlike the CURV2, this stand doesn’t have empty space underneath it. This makes for a very solid base and I don’t have to worry about the potential of me knocking my computer off. Unfortunately, this also means that I loose the space underneath the computer; with the CURV2 you can store your keyboard underneath the computer when it’s not being used. This is less of a problem if you have a large desk area to work with. Also, the front of the stand will block the optical drive on the older MacBooks Pros and PowerBooks. I don’t use the optical drive too often so it’s not a big deal. One of the advantages the Alto Connect has over the CURV2 is the powered USB hub built in. The Alto Connect is definitely a nice stand, and makes your laptop much more desktop-like if you don’t mind the steep price tag.
