Promate FoldiX Adjustable Folding Laptop Stand for 17.3", 6-Angle Ergonomic Elevation, 20kg Load Capacity, Ultra-Compact Aluminum Build, Non-Slip Silicone, for Laptop, Tablet & Phone Grey / FoldiX.Grey / FoldiX.Grey

The Promate FoldiX is an adjustable folding laptop stand in grey, machined from aluminium and rated to hold 17.3-inch laptops and 20kg of load. Six elevation angles set the screen height, non-slip silicone keeps everything in place, and the whole stand folds down to an ultra-compact shape when it is not in use.

The FoldiX takes laptops up to 17.3 inches, which covers the large desktop-replacement machines that most compact stands cannot hold safely. Screen size is the first specification to check on any stand, because a base built for a 13-inch ultrabook will not support the footprint or the weight of a 17-inch gaming laptop.

Six angles of ergonomic elevation let you raise the screen towards eye level instead of working with your neck bent down at a desk. Six settings is enough to find a genuinely comfortable position for different chairs, desk heights and tasks, rather than the single fixed angle most folding stands offer.

Load capacity is 20kg, far beyond the weight of any laptop it will carry. That headroom is what keeps a stand steady rather than flexing under a machine, and it means the FoldiX will not creep or wobble when you type firmly or push the screen back to adjust the angle.

The FoldiX is built from aluminium in an ultra-compact form, so it is rigid where it matters and still small enough to fold away. Aluminium is also the reason a stand this light can carry 20kg, since a plastic frame of the same size would have to be considerably thicker to do the same job.

Non-slip silicone sits at the contact points, gripping both the desk underneath and the laptop resting on top. That silicone is what stops a raised machine sliding forward under typing pressure, and it also protects the underside of a laptop from scratching against a bare metal frame.

The FoldiX is specified for laptops, tablets and phones, so the same stand raises a 17.3-inch notebook at a desk and props a tablet or phone up for video calls and reading. Folding flat afterwards is what makes it a stand you can carry between an office and a home desk rather than one that lives in a single place.
