Kensington SmartFit Easy Riser EQ Laptop Cooling Stand

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £18.71 ex-VAT, the Kensington SmartFit Easy Riser EQ is basically a “quick win” accessory: it lifts your laptop to a better viewing angle and gives you a bit of airflow, without the faff of a full dock or complicated stand. If you’re working in a small space, bouncing between desk and home, or you just want to stop hunching and overheating a bit during long calls, it’s a sensible buy. I’d especially recommend it for office staff with standard laptop setups, or anyone using a separate keyboard/mouse who wants their screen height sorted cheaply.

That said, don’t buy it expecting meaningful “cooling performance” for gaming or heavy sustained workloads. A riser like this isn’t going to replace proper thermal management, and if your laptop already runs cool, the benefit will feel mostly ergonomic rather than performance-related. Also, depending on your laptop’s size and base shape, you may find it’s not as snug or stable as pricier stands designed around specific models—worth checking that your device sits securely. Overall: good value for basic comfort/airflow, not the answer if you’re trying to materially reduce heavy throttling.
