MacStories Product Giveaway: The AViiQ Portable Laptop Stand

Nothing should be more flexible or more comfortable than your mobile lifestyle. That’s why AViiQ created the Portable Laptop Stand which I had the pleasure of reviewing. It’s designed to be portable, light, yet strong enough to withstand the stress of everyday computing. The AViiQ Portable Laptop Stand compromises on none of these things: imagine slipping a curious fine sheet of aluminum into your laptop bag, only for it to unfold on the table as something uniquely striking. The thin, brushed style of the stand, combined with its sharp looks, simply disappears underneath your MacBook. Inverted or upright, folded opened or closed, we’re giving away a truly fine product from the folks at AViiQ so you too can enjoy the comfort and mobility of the world’s thinnest laptop stand.


Firstly, we’d like to thank AViiQ for giving us the chance to do this, and we ask that you visit their Facebook and Twitter hubs for more information on their latest products and company culture. We wouldn’t want you guys to miss out on any new products these guys push out: they’re bound to be just as great as their launch superstar.
