Kensington SmartFit Easy Riser Go Adjustable Ergonomic Laptop Riser and Cooling Stand for Laptops up to 17"

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £18.71 ex‑VAT, the Kensington SmartFit Easy Riser Go is a sensible “small upgrade” if you’re trying to improve posture without spending big on a full docking/monitor setup. It’s basically a lightweight, adjustable stand that gets your laptop up to a more comfortable viewing height, which can reduce neck/shoulder strain quickly—especially for people who live on a laptop in meetings, shared desks, or hot‑desking environments. The cooling element is a bonus in the real world too: it won’t replace real workstation cooling, but it can help keep thermals a bit more stable during longer sessions.

That said, I wouldn’t buy this if your main problem is performance or you run heat-hungry workloads for hours (video editing, heavy virtualisation, etc.). At this price point, don’t expect miracles—cooling support is limited and you may still want a dock, external keyboard, and a separate screen for proper ergonomics. Also, if you’re using a larger 17" laptop, make sure it sits securely and doesn’t rock; lightweight stands are convenient, but they’re not as solid as heavier desk risers.

Overall: good value for admin staff, office workers, consultants, and anyone who needs quick ergonomic improvement on a budget and wants something portable. Skip it if you’re chasing serious cooling or you need a premium, rock‑solid platform.
