Best Laptop Stand: Why I Switched to the Nexstand from Roost

[@Goooogle]

I'm looking into adding a portable monitor into my elevated laptop setup. Do you have any ideas into how you would elevate a portable monitor? 🤔

Stack of books or wood platform. I have one as well

[@mpratt69]

Lmao

Roost ain’t a “competitor”, Roost are the original designers that even have a patent on this and Nextand and other copied their design. 😅

Thanks for the fyi

tl;dr. Why he switched? Because ie lost the Roost, and the Nexstand is cheaper and almost as good. The Roost is slightly better, but much more expensive, only slightly better.

Thanks for watching

The Nexstand K1 is $90 on their website. The same price as Roost V3. This is rather disappointing.

[@Dave-dl8ey]

@@zeppelin0110 they must have raised prices on the Nexstand or something. I think I remember buying it much cheaper, maybe around $30. It was about 1/3rd of the price before. If the price is now almost as much as the Roost, then id suggest to just buy the Roost if it’s going to be almost as expensive…

[@Dave-dl8ey]

Find a used Nexstand or from a different retailer. I think I bought my Nexstand for $20, or $30 max

The Roost is far better quality. My nexstand broke apart after 6 months and the roost is 3 years running of constant travel.

Nice

[@kittikorn6674]

roost stand is 6x the price but only a bit better wayyy too overpriced

[@WillsThoughts]

Yeah. I learned the hard way

Remember, always use a tin of fish and a faux marble container with Nextstand. The container must have 47 pens in, only 1 of which you'll ever use again and only 5 of which still work. Gotta keep those pens close at hand for reasons 👍

Good point!
