Best Laptop Accessory: Griffin Technology iCURVE

With laptops outselling desktops, more folks than ever are henpecking tiny keyboards on the road, in the office and at home. While the former is the nature of the road warrior beast, adding a full sized keyboard and mouse to your laptop for your home or office can transform your life. Problem is, making space for the keyboard and mouse is virtually impossible. Enter the iCurve, an ingenious and stylish laptop stand that raises notebooks (Macs or PCs from 12- 17-inches wide) to eye-level freeing valuable desktop real estate for a full size keyboard and mouse.

Aside from curbing impending Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, the air circulation created by iCurve tames the heat monster and the ability to look up, instead of down all day at the screen greatly improves your self esteem (kidding). In reality, it’s no accident that the height of the iCurve with a laptop screen opened is exactly that of a typical 17-inch flat panel monitor, so if you really want to get fancy you can add a flat monitor to your home or office and work off two screens simultaneously.
