Best Prices Today: Elite Power Laptop Stand with Wireless Charger
$86.17
A stand for your MacBook with a built-in Qi wireless charger. It seems obvious, but the Alogic Elite Power Laptop Stand is the first of its kind I’ve seen. (I admit, I didn’t really look.)
The Power Laptop Stand is a very stable stand made from sturdy aluminum with rubber feet to keep it in place. The adjustable joints require a lot of force to adjust, or you can use the included Allen wrench which makes it easy. The support is height adjustable; it can raise the MacBook up to 11.8 inches (30 centimeters). The stand can also be tilted, allowing you to raise the screen further. The stand can handle computers up to 17 inches.

Built-in Qi wireless charger
On the right side of the stand’s baseplate is a built-in Qi wireless charger that can provide up to 10 watts, but only up to 7.5 watts for an iPhone. It’s not as fast as MagSafe, which delivers 15 watts. But it’s a handy place to make sure your iPhone is fully charged, and it can also be used with 10-watt AirPods.
On the back of the baseplate is a USB-C port for power. Alogic also includes a cable, but it is a USB-C to USB-A cable and a power adapter is not included. You need to provide an adapter, which probably comes with its own USB-C cable, so that Alogic’s cable can be stored in your storage.
Alogic has equipped the charger with functions that detect if you have placed a foreign object on it. This helps prevent potential damage and prevents excessive heat buildup in the base plate of the mount.
Should you buy the Alogic Elite Power Laptop Stand?
Overall, the Elite Power Laptop Stand is very good: it’s well-built, sturdy, and good-looking. Consider the charger a bonus feature.
