Good Value, well made
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2019
I recently purchased the APzek foldable stand which in all but name is the same as the much praised Roost. The former is £15, the latter £70. I have done a detailed review of it on Amazon. -Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 June 2019
The only small criticism I had on that otherwise phenomenal product was that the minimum height is around 22cm. It's not possible to lower it further.
So here are my views on the Nexstand. Please see the photos for comparison.
Build quality is good and the stand opens and closes effortlessly. It doesnt quite feel as solid as the APzek but I have no complaints about fit and finish.
The Nexstand is slightly larger and perhaps 40 to 50 gramms heavier, not a huge margin but it may or may not make the difference between fitting in your bag or not. Check measurements.
While the APzek has softer rubber protection on the clamps and front feet, the Nextand has what feels like soft plastic on the front feet and clamps. - The result is the Nexstand may slide more on smooth surfaces and the clamp may be slightly harder on the laptop. However, after using it no marks were left on my 15" 2019 XPS. - Still, worth bearing in mind longer term and I probably would advise to buy some self adhesive rubber tape to add a bit of protection and slip resistance.
The Nexstand will adjust lower than the APzek (see photos) if that is important to you. It also has more levels between lowest and highest. The APzek has three, which I feel are perfectly adequate, minimum height aside.
Clamp size is slightly larger on the Nexstand so if you have something like a gamers machine, that's probably the one to get. It comes with inserts (hard plasic) for very slim ultrabooks though I probably would'nt use those without adding some rubber protection//tape if you use an expensive machine.
The bag it comes in a softer nylon sock style, the APzek's is more of a tent material. Both will do the job.
So, which one to choose? As both are clearly made for travelling, my vote would probably go to the APzek. Essentially you are getting the Roost stand for £50 less (but in fairness I think £70 for that product is somewhat over priced) - It's slightly smaller and lighter and a smidgen sturdier though the Nexstand is by no means badly constructed. The APzek has better rubber parts compared with the more plastic ones on the Nexstand. Both probably benefit from a little added protection. The APzek is also a little cheaper though neither is expensive for what you get.
If you have an unusually large (thick) laptop my choice would be the Nexstand. It also goes lower than the APzek so that is a consideration too.
Both highly recommended.
Hope this helps.

I was provided with a simple metal stand as a height adjustment option for my laptop. When I had an accessibility officer look at the set up, the only way of getting those types of stands at my eye level was to put them on to a pile of books. The NextStand is light, folds up to go into my laptop case, and unfolds in seconds to provide a perfect support for my laptop at a height which is actually useful for me to work at. - I chose this stand because it has more (eight) adjustment options for the height unlike some of the similar options on the market.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2018
If you need a portable height adjustment stand for your laptop working... this is the perfectly designed product for mobile working.
