And yet that laptop stand is not even the slightest bit slanted, one of the crucial details. I could simply take a book and put the laptop on top of that, to get the same ergonomic features. I am aware that ergonomic use is not the main point, but it would certainly not have hurt to consider that angle at least a little bit.

That would have destroyed the brutalist cred.

Use a random cement brick instead of a book, then.

I found your comment funny and I only realized this pun when I read my own comment after posting it. I hope you keep your humor, despite being downvoted. You are probably downvoted, because people think it doesn't add much to the topic, and not because it isn't funny. (I hope so, at least.)

Why would this matter? If you were typing on it, that would be helpful, but this is for a laptop that sits on the side, while the user types on a separate (and likely much better) keyboard.
