Review of OfficePro stands: for laptops and tablets

If you usually work and relax at your laptop, sooner or later you’ll have a need for a laptop stand. After sitting at it for hours on end, when your back is hinting in every possible way that it can no longer work in these conditions, you feel this in particular. The reason is that even devices with a big screen diagonal are not at eye level during work. Of course, we can buy an additional monitor and display the image on it, but not always there is a need for it, and, trivial, but not every workplace is convenient to install it. Therefore there is only one way to use laptop more conveniently – to put it on a “pedestal”. Today we have a range of original stands from OfficePro.

And among them there are options not only for laptops, but also for tablets and smartphones, and there’s also one rather interesting organiser for gadgets. All OfficePro stands are made of metal (no plastic!), have comfortable designs, are well thought-out and, as a result, make life better. Spoiler: after our review you might want to add one to your workspace.

OfficePro LS113S laptop stand

Key features

  • Material: aluminium, silicone
  • Maximum notebook diagonal: 17.6″
  • Dimensions: 281×231×55 mm
  • Weight: 1.07 kg
  • Options: height and tilt adjustment, laptop stoppers

Design and materials

The LS113S is made from uncoated brushed aluminium and, like all the OfficePro stands in our review, has no plastic parts. The only thing that is not metallic here are the silicone pads, which protect both the device and the surface on which it will stand from scratches. The metal is quite thick and the stand weighs as much as 1.07kg, which gives it a feeling of strength and reliability.

The stand itself consists of three parts – the base, the leg and the laptop table itself. The rectangular table with rounded corners has plenty of perforations so that it doesn’t interfere with the cooling of the laptop. There are wide silicone pads on the top and bottom, and there are two clips on the bottom that will support the mounted device. On the inside of these, of course, there are also silicone elements – so as not to scratch the case.

The leg is made of thicker metal than the table and base and has hinges at both ends that are decorated with a ring engraving. Unlike the table, the base is square and smaller and the only thing on it is the brand name. Incidentally, if you’re using an external keyboard, it’s handy to keep it right underneath the laptop. On the reverse side there are four silicone ‘feet’ which prevent the keyboard from sliding on the table and you can also see the three screw ‘caps’ which hold the top of the stand in place.

Design features and ergonomics

The main elements are connected by hinges. These are quite stiff, and you have to exert a lot of force to change the position of the stand. And that’s cool, because you won’t be able to change the angle accidentally, and it also shows that the design can support a rather heavy laptop. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has only specified the maximum diagonal of the laptop and the maximum permissible weight remains unknown. But, holding the LS113S in your hands, you get the impression that it can handle the heaviest gaming stations weighing over 3kg.

Thanks to the hinges, the angle and height of the laptop can be easily adjusted. This allows the laptop to be positioned optimally for each user, regardless of height or seat height. The OfficePro Silver LS113S is therefore a comfortable, adjustable and reliable stand that can support really heavy devices.

OfficePro LS111 laptop stand

Key features

  • Material: aluminium, silicone
  • Maximum notebook diagonal: 17.6″
  • Dimensions: 300×220×45 mm
  • Weight: 0.9 kg
  • Options: height and tilt adjustment, laptop stoppers

Design and materials

The OfficePro LS111 is very similar in essence to the LS113S described above, but with a slightly different look. It is also made of aluminium and has silicon gussets, but comes in three colours – silver (the colour of the metal), grey or matt black. We have the latter variant in our review. Another difference is in the rims that hold the laptop – they are increased to 2 cm, which allows you to hold quite thick laptops. The weight is also different. This doesn’t affect reliability of the stand, but makes it lighter and easier to carry. For example, the OfficePro LS111 weighs 0.9kg compared to 1.07kg for the LS113S.

Let’s look at the other differences. The notebook table measures 30×22cm, has four silicone pads to protect the notebook from scratches and slippage and laptop locks, and has a large u-shaped air inlet. There are two legs and they’re also hinged, with fairly tight strokes. Like the previous model, maximum load capacity is not specified, but the maximum size of laptops is specified – up to 17.6 inches. The base here is more rectangular and slightly smaller than the table, has the brand logo printed on top and 4 silicone feet on the bottom, two of which (the top one) cover the leg mounts.

Design features and ergonomics

In terms of ergonomics, the LS111 is pretty much the same as the LS113S. The height and angle of inclination can be adjusted without any problems, and it takes a lot of effort to move the hinges out of the way. So heavy and large laptops (up to 17.6 inches) can also be placed here and they won’t go anywhere.

Thanks to the U-shaped opening, there is nothing to obstruct the air intake for cooling. The stand will not slip or scratch the surface of the table, as there are silicone ‘feet’ on the underside of the stand. In addition, the LS111 is lighter, so you can carry it around with you if you like. In any case, it’s lighter than the LS113S.

OfficePro LS720G smartphone and tablet stand

Key features

  • Material: aluminium, silicone
  • Dimensions: base 134×134 mm, tablets table 130×128 mm
  • Weight: 0.465 kg
  • Optional: adjustable tilt and height, shields for tablet

Design and materials

The OfficePro LS720G has a similar design to the LS111 and LS113S but in a more compact format. The working surface measures 130×128 mm and is therefore perfect for a tablet, e-book, smartphone or portable monitor.

The stand is also made of metal and has silicone gaskets on the work surface, tablet retainers and underneath on the base. Thanks to the hinges, you can easily adjust the height and tilt angle. The LS720G weighs a lot for its size (465 g), so there is no doubt about its reliability and stability.

Design features and ergonomics

Unfortunately, the manufacturer doesn’t specify the maximum load or the maximum diagonal of the device that can be placed on the stand. But I tested it with my 14-inch Zenbook, which weighs 1.2kg – the stand managed perfectly to hold a rather large and apparently heavy for it gadget. To be honest, I would have used the LS720G for my laptop, if the silicone pads on the inside of the stand had been the same as on the larger stands.

While the OfficePro LS720G has no problem supporting a laptop, there’s no question about the ease of use with a tablet, smartphone or portable monitor. The stand adjusts perfectly to the right height and angle, and its details don’t block access to the screen or controls, so it’s a very good option for tablets and other similarly sized devices. It’s also indispensable for pupils and students, as distance learning is prevalent these days, and with such a stand it’s convenient to watch lessons or lectures and record notes.

OfficePro LS580G organiser stand

Key features

  • Material: aluminium, silicone
  • Dimensions: 150×65×47 mm
  • Weight: 0.36 kg
  • Optional: Tilt adjustment for tablet or smartphone

Design and construction

The ingenious design makes the OfficePro LS580G a compact organiser for a variety of devices – tablets, smartphones, laptops and other gadgets. It allows you to conveniently store your devices so they don’t get in the way and take up space on your desk when not in use.

The LS580G is also made of metal, with a noble grey finish and silicon elements on the bottom and inside the central section. In all, there are three sections: one large one in the middle and two smaller ones on the sides. Thanks to that the stand can be a handy organizer and helps you to save space on your desk, when all your gadgets will be placed vertically on the stand. The “OfficePro” logo is placed on the front.

If you flip the stand upside down, you can see the four screws that adjust the width of the slots. This allows you to adjust it to the thickness of your gadgets, as a large laptop requires more space, while a tablet, for example, requires less space. And, to make it more convenient, a small wrench is included.

Ergonomics and usability

If you’re looking for an answer to the question of how to store your gadgets so that they’re always within easy reach but don’t take up too much space, the LS580G is the perfect solution. Metal and sturdy, it holds several gadgets securely upright, including large laptops, giving you more space and a neater look on your desk.

OfficePro LS320S laptop stand

Key features

  • Material: aluminium, silicone
  • Maximum notebook diagonal: 17″
  • Dimensions: 270×52×29 mm
  • Weight: 0.236 kg
  • Options: tilt adjustment, laptop stoppers, frog design, included carrying case

Design and materials

The OfficePro LS320S is the most portable and perhaps the most interesting stand in our review. Its design is somewhat similar to that of a bookend – it too is foldable and allows adjustment of both width and angle, but is made from fairly thick aluminium. When folded, it measures 270×52×29mm, weighs just over 200g and comes with a neat carrying case. This makes it easy to take with you – it won’t take up too much space in your bag and the case will protect other items from possible damage.

The base is X-shaped, it slides to the sides and allows you to choose the right width for your gadget. The maximum supported diagonal of a laptop is 17″. There are main support legs on the sides and underneath there are feet with holes that are equally spaced apart. They are needed in order to set the optimum inclination. Silicone anti-slip elements on the side stands, X-base mounting, inside the legs (where the laptop will rest) and, of course, on the bottom.

Design features and ergonomics

The OfficePro LS320S is a good solution to make a comfortable workstation anywhere: in the office, in a co-working space, in a café or at home. The stand is very compact and not heavy, so taking it with you is no problem at all. The only thing the LS320S can’t do is raise the laptop to eye level. That is, it is possible to create a more comfortable angle of inclination of the laptop, but to raise it significantly upwards, as in the case of the LS113S and LS111, it is not. So you’ll have to choose between being able to raise the laptop upwards and being portable.

The sliding design makes the stand easy to use not only for laptops, but also for tablets or e-books. You simply adjust the width and use it. In fact, it’s so handy and portable that it’s a masthead for those who work remotely. Throw a small pouch in your bag and you’ve taken care of your laptop comfort.

Impressions and conclusions

It is very cool that OfficePro is a Ukrainian brand, because the quality of the products is really top-notch. By the way, gadget stands are just one of the many categories of products that the manufacturer has. The company specialises in a variety of office devices to help optimise and make the work environment more comfortable.

In terms of overall impression, the stands from OfficePro really do surprise – the quality of materials and build is simply premium. In the pictures they look quite nice, but when you hold them in your hands it’s a completely different experience. Firstly, they are all made of metal and feel sturdy and durable. Secondly, the stands and organizers are well designed and easy to use, and some of them can be used in more than one way. Thirdly, when you compare quality, features and price, they are very inexpensive.

If you’re looking for a cool stationary laptop stand that helps make your workstation more comfortable and ergonomic, choose the OfficePro LS113S or LS111. If you’re constantly moving between the office and home, I recommend the compact LS320S. If you frequently use “younger” gadgets such as tablets, e-books or portable monitors, opt for the OfficePro LS720G. And if you need to organise your workspace, complement it with the LS580G organiser.
