Can I use the keyboard stand effectively with a 13" laptop. I'd like to have both screens and to use the laptop keyboard.

Not without buying a separate attachment for your monitor. There will be insufficient clearance between the mounted monitor and the keyboard shelf to allow for opening a laptop without the laptop screen partially blocking the monitor screen.

If your laptop is 9x13", it will overhang the platform slightly either at the back corners of the laptop or the front. If you're putting the stand in a corner against two walls you probably won't have room to tilt the display on the laptop back without the front of the laptop overhanging the front of the stand. Also, the feet are slick and it tends to slide around on a smooth surface so that could be a problem if you are typing on the laptop.

a laptop works well and you can have the two screens work in unison. The drawback to a tower would be the drawer isn't wide enough for a keyboard and it should be placed on the floor for room on the desk.

Yes, you can use the keys on the laptop as well as on the screen. A keyboard will pop up and you can type away using the screen.

It really depends on how you plan on using it. I use the stand for my 40" flatscreen television that also doubles as a monitor. I use a wireless keyboard and mouse on a podium desk Laptop Computer Desk/Podium Cart (Black) about 3-4 feet away.

I have only used the rectangular stands (30336). We put the laptop under the stand and the monitors above the stand. The rectangular stands would bounce as you type. The triangular stands may be more stable.

Yes, you can use this stand with or without the cushioned pad. I liked the first one so much I bought a second one, one for each of my 13" MacBook Airs. I believe if you buy one {or more} you will be very pleased. I have had my two for several years, Best of luck? OR you could buy the stand alone long gel type of wrist supports that extends the length of your keyboard and 1 1/2" wide.

I have never used this stand for anything that large. this is a tablet stand, I think it would be in ones best interest to use it for what it was made for. however it is a very sturdy stand that I really like a lot. I'm sure you could find a stand that was made for a laptop. amazon has a wide arrange of choices.

I am actually not with the laptop stand right now, but Charles Burr has given the measurements. Your keyboard will be nearly vertical at the stand's maximum height. Note the product photo, which shows the maximum height. I don't think you would want your laptop raised any higher than this stand will raise it.

You can still use the touch screen while the keyboard is on. However, the touch screen keyboard doesn't pop up when the keyboard is in use.

As far as I know, there is no way to affix the keyboard to the stand. But that hasn't proved a problem for me. The keyboard balances well on the stand -- doesn't shift or wobble.

Depends if laptop is open or closed while in docking station. If you are going to use a separate keyboard, then you should be fine, standing or sitting. If you want to use laptop keyboard and have it on Varidesk, you'd have to have your hands up 5 inches higher than desk to type. In other words, open laptop will not fit on slide out keyboard tray. Varidesk Pro should be able to handle two (flat panel) monitors and laptop docking station.

The Standing Fit doesn't include a keyboard - you put your own keyboard (or in my case laptop) on it. Its very stable as long as the object you put on it fits on it. sometimes I have my laptop going adn a note pad next to it to write notes on other times I may have my phone on it. stability hasn't been an issue.

I agree that the monitor size is not a big issue as the stand is very sturdy and should hold it OK. Your keyboard should be OK except it may not leave a lot of room for the mouse. We really like the stand so that we do not always need to be sitting or standing.

The screen works separately from the keyboad if you want, you don't really need the keyboard at all. If you dock the screen in the keyboard, then it's like a regular laptop (in terms of screen-keyboard movement)

This is a great question. Although I don't doubt that the keyboard will work fine with other tablets, I'm more interested in knowing how the stand works with other tablets. I have a latitude ST (win7 tablet) that is slight thicker and heavier than ipad. Does the stand work for it?Thanks!

Probably not. My laptop is a 13" and there's not much overhang. Love the stand but you'd want a larger one.
